Viva la Mexico

was our theme for a wkend of scrapping and it was a huge success - I think - at least it seemed to be.

Everyone brought their pillow and although it wasn't the Ritz accommodations, it wasn't too bad and everyone seemed more than happy with it. The company was great. Everyone brought one dish and we had great food all wkend. Really good. Too good really :)

I had Hydra - vodka water. One of them. Well, holy joe, it was like drinking 4 of any other kind of drink. I was set. It was good. We had some great laughs ... and even plugged the toilet - what is with that and scrapbooking?!?!?! I think Amber was just trying to get Chris over here. Cause after I fixed the toilet and didn't need him, she had forgotten her stuff at his place so he had to come over anyway! :) they are so in love. We teased her a lot and are all really happy for her.

The girls were great sports and even let me dress them up in sarongs for our fiesta. Wish we had sombreros! maybe next time.

I got quite a bit done on my album. And I can't believe how extremely easy it was to keep the house clean. It took only about 30 mins per day!! Amazing!! And it was so nice to actually get to eat food when it was ready, not after I spent 10 minutes cutting up kids food and another 30 feeding them, then I don't even feel like eating my own supper which is usually cold by then anyway.

B made a great bbq chicken dish that I want the recipe for - hint hint! I even think the kids would like that one.

It went really well, and I'm lucky to have such a great bunch of gals in my life. Hope we'll get to do it again soon.

It has been freezing out, but so spring like in other ways. I hope to get out caching soon!!

makayla went for lung tests today. She did well, but after ventolin, she did even better. So, "proves" that she has asthma, but seems to be doing better than she ever did, so am really happy about that. I'm hoping she'll grow out of it. She tested positive for grass allergy, so the dr. thinks the worst is coming in spring/summer and with sports, but we'll see. I place little, almost nil actually, faith in the prick tests for allergies. I am not allergic to all the fruits I can't eat according to them ... so, anyway, I need to get myself back to see Heidi. Oh if only they added another day to the week. How about Needsday. That'd be a good one!!

Hope you all are hanging in there and all the sicknesses disappear soon. We're all great here, knock on wood!

The baby figured out how to wave/say bye and blow kisses so he does it ALL the time now. And he can get his pjs off and does so eveytime you put him to bed. We have to start putting everything on backwards from now on!! He's a busy boy!
