waiting for the bus to arrive

This is the best day ever.

I have no idea whats going on. I'm just happy to be outside. Oh, and mom let me drink soda. That always makes me smile. :) 

Satan was looking all around. She was certain several times that she had spotted her daddy.  

The welcome home ceremony

Here is the unit. Standing in formation waiting for the ceremony to end. I wanted to get closer and get a better pic, but I didn't get a chance.

We made DH walk and find us. Because I wasn't about to attempt running out into the crowd, and chance losing one of the little heathens.

I'm home. Finally.  

Our day at Chucke E Cheese

This is a face that only a heathen could love. ;)

I'm smiling because I have a whole pocket full of tickets. I'm going to cash them in for something flippin' sweet.

Weeeeeeeee! That was fun. 

I love this blue car. So much so, that I won't bother to play in anything else while we are here.  

Tomorrow is the big day!

This evening my two best helpers helped decorate this very lovely Welcome Home cake with Easter decorations. Of course they also licked their fingers and added that little extra something.

Little mama

Last night Fang was chewing on a little people.

Satan being the little mama that she is grabbed the little people from him. She looked at him with disgust and said, "What you doing? You going to break your throat. Then you throat will fall out, and then...." dramatic pause "... you won't be able to hear."

Happy Birthday!

Fang turned 2 today. He is growing up, but he is still my baby. heh

easy as 3.14

For the very first time this school year, Tater brought home a report card that only has passing grades. He is even passing math.

He is happy. I am very, very happy!

He will still has math tutoring since his passing grade was only 74, and Mr. F feels that he still isn't able to pass the TAKS test. Any child that does not pass the TAKS test will not be promoted to 6th grade. Still, a 74 is impressive when you compare it to the 49 he had last grading period.

After I congratulated him on a job well done, and gave him the I'm so proud of you speech. He tried to impress me with his math genius. Now he thinks that math is as easy as 3.14. heh

when sharks croak heh

This evening after I put the little heathens to bed, I was cleaning the kitchen. The windows were still open, and the frogs were croaking. Loud enough to hear them inside. I was thinking happy spring thoughts until Fang ran into the kitchen with, "Shh! Hear it. I scared".

"Go back to bed." I said.

Shaking his head he said, "I scared."

"Scared of what?"

"Hear it?" he whispered loudly. Then he nodded and said, "Sharks!"

Sweet as honey

The last few days the weather has been warm and beautiful. I have had the windows open letting the breeze and the bees to blow in. Today I was stung three times. I was sitting on the sofa watching some crap on TV when I felt something on my back. I reached around to feel what it was, and I was stung on my thumb. I jumped up to say bad words and stepped on bee #2.

Thinking my day couldn't get any worse, I found several bees in the window. I quickly killed them. I was feeling good about that until I went to remove the dead bee carcasses from the window I was stung once again. It's a damn good thing I'm not allergic.

I've been painting.

Since DH will be home soon. I've been in super make the house pretty mode. This is what I've been very busy doing. I still have a few minor things to do to both bathrooms, but over all I'm happy with them.

My next big adventure is to paint my kitchen cabinets red. That will likely wait until DH is home to round up the little heathens and keep them out of my hair.

I antiqued this one, but I used red. I'm proud of it. I feel so crafty, and so unlike myself.  

These are cheap wall sconces from Walmart. I spray painted them gold. 

This is my pretty new bathroom. I'm missing a shower curtain hook. That's the reason for the sag. I still haven't put the cover on the light switch. I broke it when I stepped on it, now I need to buy a new one.
