Cristian's Musical Debut

I enrolled the boys in something called Vacation Bible School at Ironbridge Baptist Church. It was really fun for the boys, however, being a practicing catholic (yes Lupita, I still practice!!!!!!) some of the things they learned were a little weird. Julian came home one day and was asking me if we were Christians. I told him yes. Then he says, "Are we baptisms mommy? Because at VBS (vacation Bible School) they said you had to be Christians to be allowed into heaven. " I started laughing and said, "Honey, it's Baptist, not baptism and yes we practice Catholicism but we are Christians. " He wiped his forehead and said, "Whew, I am glad!"

Any ways, Cristian was in this cute program at the end of the week singing "Jesus is my hero!!!" He loved the music, which was really cute. This was the only picture I could get because the parents were just pushing and shoving to get pics. He got all the clapping and shouting and jumping down. He is in the first row on the left in a neon green shirt. He was so cute!!!!! I was the proud mama!!!!!!

Kitchen

Hi Rose!!! Here is a picture of that bush i told you I put on all my cabinet tops. There is really no space for anything else. Just fluff up the bush a little and let the grapes hang down over the edge.

Too Much...

Do you ever feel like there is so much going on at once that you can't possibly keep up? I am feeling like that right now. If you know me well, which I know most of you do, you know that I am an instant gratification person. I know how I like things and that is the way i want them. I am the most impatient person in the world. It drives me nuts to see my house in such disarray. I want my walls to be painted. I am faux finishing my kitchen with a sort of Tuscan treatment that is taking FOREVER!!!!!! So I am doing that, plus trying to keep the boys entertained, take them to camp, keep house, run errands, make phone calls about this that and the other. Man, i think working with 30 kindergartners is less stressful than staying at home!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my boys but they are a lot of work. Plus my niece is here which she actually counts as 2 kiddos. So a total of 5 kids!!!!! I am going to shave my head, by what little hair I will then have blond and change my name to Susan Powter. You know who she is, the "STOP THE INSANITY!!" lady from those commercials in the 90's. Boy I am dating myself there. Oh well, on to my hectic lifestyle. You think that I would get paid to do what I do. I do, I get tons of kisses from cute boys!!! That makes it worth my while......Talk to you soon..

Coming Together

Formal Dining

Kitchen

I have recently received several emails and voicemails harassing me about not updating my blog. I am so sorry!!!! I have been really busy getting settled, painting, and moving furniture around. I HATE MOVING. I am still missing random things that I really wish I had. Like this really nice throw I had made for my couches downstairs, some of tia's clothes, some of my shoes.....Nothing like picturing a the moving guy in my shoes and tias clothes!!!

Any hoot, I just painted my dining room and I love it!! It looks finished. Finally! One room at a time. Jerry and I just bought a sectional sofa for our room (yes we can fit a sectional in our room - it's a pretty big room). It's awesome. It is a faux suede and it is chocolate leather, faux suede cushions in a mocha, terra cotta and chocolate color. It's kind of contemporary looking but it will work.

By the way, here are some pictures for Lupita of the boys. I promised these last week just never got a chance.

When are you all coming to visit????

Rub-a-dub-dub. Three boys in a tub!!!!
