To the Zoo

We went to the Zoo last month. This is my favorite picture I took there. This photo is the perfect image to describe my oldest son. He feels safe in his shell for the most part...

a world all of his own.

Look closely and you'll see a nut in the middle of this picture.

My kids and my friends from india.

Homemade Piñata

My husband really wanted to make a homemade piñata with the kids. He's been talking about doing it for a long time. We ended up making it so thick it was as solid as a rock... LOL. Good times though.

I'll take that kind of work any day!

My husband went to Puerto Rico to give a science presentation. He said he had to do homework most of the time..... but what a view, what a view.

Next time he is taking me with him!!!

"I think we've got a live one here!"

My youngest is a live wire! She climbs everything and she has a grip of steel. Just watching her alone keeps me very busy!

Googly Eyes

She's my clown! M* found some googly eyes in my art box and surprised me with this! I had to take a picture!

Zucchini Baby?

My friend gave us a large zucchini from her garden and my little boy wanted to carve a face on it. So I carved a little face for him and he carried around for a couple of days pretending it was a baby.

Then we had to grate the zucchini up to make some bread. Having my son become attached to it made this task somewhat difficult if you could imagine.

3 Dishwashers in one house!!!

My dishwasher has been broken for a long time and we don't have the money to replace it so now I have 3 dishwashers! And they do a fantastic job. I think we end up with more water on the floor than in the sink though. We are trying to make jobs in the family a team effort and not just one person doing all the work. Sometimes it's more work for me than to just do it all myself and sometimes they fight... but for the most part they are learning to interact with each other and communicate as they work together.

Of course we have one more helper. She's just old enough to splash in the water though. She does a good job at just being cute.
