Let's color!

Getting ready for work today. Walked down the hallway, Scarlett sprints out of her room. Hmm. Suspicious. I check and find this. I go to her. Immediately she says I'm so sorry I wrote on the walls! So I made her clean it. While I tried so hard not to giggle.
How did my mom keep a straight face?

Smooch!

Josh took the kids to SanAntonio a few weeks ago so I could have a day off.
They visited the Alamo and Scarlett laid a smooch on her brother.

Mommys tea

James and Scarlett celebrated me with a few lively/lovely songs. After each one James would yell, I Love You Mommy!
It was awesome. One of my favorite songs went like this:
I wish I had a little pink box to put my mommy in, I'd take her out and kiss kiss kiss, and put her right back in.

We also just enrolled my 5 year old in kindergarten.

Happy Mothers Day!

SeaWorld!

This is what James wanted to do for his birthday. He was still recovering from a stomach bug. But we still had fun. He would not take a photo with The Count. We saw Shamu, fed dolphins, sealions, and rode rides. Awesome!

Bad luck

James turned 5! And it was awesome. He's had a bout of incidences lately. Busted lip and chin from tripping in our backyard. A round with the rotavirus. And hrs come out on top each time. Turning 5 is hard work. His party is soon so I'll be back to share about that.
Ps Scarlett is taking care of james while he was sick. That is why she now has the rotavirus too.

Canoeing

We went canoeing for the first time in good ole lady bird lake. Let's just say the kids were not impressed. I had to tell James at one point if he asked to go back to the shore one more time I was going to dump him in the lake.

New boy!

James asked for a haircut. Picked it out and whamo he got it. He looks awesome! He says, mom it feels so different.
