Milk Does a Body How??

I had a nice surprise waiting for me inside my car today. When I opened the door, a foul odor filled the garage. That's when it hit me that three days earlier, I had forgotten to come back and clean up the spilled chocolate milk in the back seat. With these 100' days, there's not much that smells much worse, except Roto-Virus. So, I had to tackle vacuuming all of the goldfish, fries, and chunks of chicken nuggets out of every crack. During this time, the Big E was pushing every button to see what it did. He especially likes to push the buttons that open and close the passenger doors. It's great to get my legs smashed over and over. When the button pushing got boring, he moved on to eating the mummified fast food. Yummy! Afterwards, I got my new carpet cleaner out and went to work on the milk stains. Of course, once you start you might as well do the whole car. By this time, Frijole Man had figured out that he must be missing something, so he joined his partner in crime. Now, we had the blinker going, trunk opened, hazards on, and a few other bells going off. I finally got the van cleaned and am hoping that atrocious smell disappears. The twins are now sleeping peacefully.

My Honeymooner



Do you ever have those moments when you look at your better half and just realize how blessed you are? For no special reason, you are overcome with joy and realize how important that person is to you. I was working on the second child in process of the bathing assembly line, when I threw myself across the bed and closed my eyes while they played. When I opened my eyes, our wedding picture was the first thing I saw. I remembered how precious that day was to us. Then, I started thinking about how much we've grown together over the last eight years. I cannot imagine my life without my Honeymooner and am so glad he chose to spend his with me. He's my knight and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us together.

All my Men & I

We've been trying to stay cool all summer! Water Boys!
