Ahhh the past week.

Well we've been home from NY for a week now! Yay! I'm thinking our trip home wasn't a good one and Mommy was surely mean. Christopher and Lena played SO INCREDIBLY well that night, 2 straight hours of playing make-believe with Lena's Polly Pockets. I decided to eaves-drop on their playing and found that they were play "WHO'S GOING TO KILL MOMMY"...*sigh* I guess I was a bit mean on the trip home.

Yesterday I was washing our bed sheets and Lena came into my room to see my bed naked. She asked where my sheets were and I told her they were in the washing machine. Her response "why Mommy, did you make peepee?" Hmmmmm

Back to the Grind

Our trip to NYC was quick and tiring! Driving into the Bronx at 2am I got a bit nostalgic and started missing it a lot. It didn't take long for that to end though. Once the sun rose and I got to see all the graffiti and some old neighborhood weeds the size of Jojo, I remembered why we left. Not to mention the shooting around the corner a month or so ago. I will always miss my friends and family up there...they are the best.

Adriana, thanks for letting us crash your house. Hope we didn't break anything! Steve and Dez (aka Ellen), thanks for the hospitality and letting us stay for the night. We love and miss you.

The ride home was HELL...not sure we will go up again as a family in September like planned.

I won't leave you all with the bore of our trip.

Lena told me I have feet like a Grandpa. Why I asked. Her response is that I have hair on them...WTF? I do NOT have hair on my feet but I am checking just in case!

Dilemma

So, what would you do if your daughter told you her little brother was scrubbing the potty with his tooth brush but then finished brushing his teeth afterwords? The damage has been done, do I buy him a new toothbrush (which his current one is a week old) or just let his immune system get strong...Hmmmmm.... ;)

Southern Pizza

So, I broke down and ordered Domino's Pizza the other day. Yes I know what you are thinking...GROSS....but hey, $5.99 for a large (well, what they gave me was NOT a large, I assure you).

I give Jojo a slice of thin crust pepperoni and he took one bite, spit it out and THREW the piece across the kitchen and said so clearly "THAT'S NOT PIZZA"! LOL....

That's my little NY Italian for ya!

We learn so much in school these days!

So Christopher came home and told me he is learning a LOT in school now.

Chris: Mom, have you ever heard of Ben Franklin?

Me: Yes.

Chris: He's dead.

Me: Yes, he's been dead for a long time.

Chris: He was an amazing scientist and writer and have your heard of Michael Jackson?

Me: Yes, I've heard of Michael Jackson!

Chris: He was a war hero.

Me: Hmmm, do you mean Andrew Jackson?

Chris: No MICHAEL JACKSON, he was a war hero and a rockstar.

Me: OOOOkay...if you say so...

Long Week

Well, it's been a good but long week. Almost over!

My MRI came back GOOD!!!!! I'm so relieved! Woooo! Of course I don't know exactly I have these weird feelings on my left side but thankfully it is nothing 'bad'! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Today we got to meet Christopher's 1st grade teacher. I like her. I hope I still like her when he is actually in the classroom though. She told me the school gives her all the active boys so she can whip them into shape...then recanted by saying she doesn't ACTUALLY whip them ... LOL...

"Oh, that's too bad"--was my response. She'll know what I mean come August!

Anyways, I'll try to be back here tomorrow!

What the heck???

So I hear Lena sitting on the pot today and she was talking to herself...saying "squeeze it out, squeeze it out"....I am so proud. Of course I shouldn't be surprised as she does fart on cue. I do need to invest in a good digital video recorder, anyone tell me which is good? I need one with great sound from a distance.
