Happy Cinco de Mayo...

Mexican food for dinner tonight, not doubt about it! I think we'll have burrito bowls tonight since it's one of the things that the kids always scarf down and want seconds of... yum! Really though, we don't need a reason to enjoy Mexican food around here, it is our absolute favorite! Since I'm on the topic... if you have a Costco in your area, you HAVE to buy their uncooked tortillas... oh my goodness, they are delish, and you can cook them to your little heart's desire! I eat them by themselves, way too many at a time. Way too many. You can find them in the cooler section, usually right by the shredded cheese... try them now, they are fantastic!
We've had a really great May so far! Did anybody put flowers on somebody's front porch?
We had a great weekend, some sickness that we are thankfully over, and now we are into finals week for Nick and the last couple of weeks of school for Em! Em is already a bit sad that she won't have the same teacher next year... ok, she's really sad, she even has been crying about it, sweet thing. She wrote her teacher a note and asked if we could go to the neighborhood pool together over the summer, how cute is that!? She has the most wonderful teacher. There isn't enough that I can say about what a great teacher she is and we are so thankful that she has become part of our lives! She has two daughters, one is Em's age, so it works out well and we will definitely see them over the summer. Em is happy about that and maybe it will help reduce the tears on the last day of school! Nick, on the other hand, won't be crying as he finishes his final on Thursday night! He will have over a month off until his summer electives. We're going to get a couple of much needed vacations which I'll tell you about after we're home... for obvious reasons!
Ok, I have stuff to get done that requires more of me than sitting in front of the computer wishing for a laundry fairy. Actually, the laundry is done, ironed and put away... I would settle for an errand fairy!
That, and Handy Manny is almost over... time's up Mom!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Happy Monday!

Hey girl!! You were right on with answer 'D'. I am thinking my little game was easier than I thought it would be....but still fun to play with! Way to go for getting it right and we haven't even met in person! :)

Girl, to answer your question about my blog. I just like to play around with different backgrounds and so forth. Usually I do a lot of playing around when Robbie is out of town and the kids are in bed....hooray! I know it sounds weird, but it is kind of relaxing for me to do.

I have designed a few friends blogs...I wouldn't mind putting something together for you. I would just need to know what colors you want, title and anything else that seems important. I usually just start playing with a background and next thing I know...I have a whole design put together. If you want me to, just email me some suggestions of what you want. Do you still have my email?

No news on Kylie's test results yet. I am thinking I should hear something soon...but she seems to be doing a little better. Thanks for praying for her! :)
