the joys of motherhood

on my list of things to occupy my time while the girls are gone was to get some books for kaely.

not that i am going to slam her with this as soon as she gets home, but i wanted to be prepared because the questions are coming. the last time she asked a question, i was so thankful that her sisters started fighting at the same time. i am also thankful that i have girls and not boys. i decided that at the bookstore while looking at the books for boys.

pray for guidance :)

Home again

Just got back...hope my suitcase came too! :)

That's a big boot!

Everything *is* bigger in Texas :)

right, so after church, we went to target and got stuffs for our expedition to the river. it occurred to me while we were headed there, that there would be nature in the river...that the river was, in fact, entirely made up of nature. liz asked if i still wanted to go and i said yes...i'm not a wimp.

gorgeous day for a 4 hour float down a nature-y river. there were some directions, but liz and i were like, whut? so we climbed in and floated off.

oh...um, are those little rapids up there?

were we supposed to go right or left? i went left and got stuck...i love nature!

it was really relaxing, except for the nature attacks. liz was floating a little ahead of me and jumped or squealed (i don't remember) cos she saw something. with cat like reflexes, i reacted!this picture is a dramatization...no nature was harmed in the float down the river.

excellent

That's a big flag

Pei Wei for dinner!

Lunch at the Gristmill in Gruene,TX :)

a seriously peaceful place to eat lunch. we sat and listened to the shrieking in the river below and that's when we decided that we wanted to do that too...nature and all.

oldest bar/dance hall/country dancing joint in the state. it smelled old.

this guy was directing traffic and shouting all the sarcastic things that we all wish we could say to other drivers. he's like the super hero of traffic directors or something.

This was an interesting place. I "danced" twice, but had more fun people watching.

First stop in San Antonio...of course. Then we were off to Riverwalk and Casa Rio.

but wait! there's more :)

had to go see the alamo...awesome place.i tried to blend in with the other tourists, but liz found me anyway.

lunch was deelish. i'm quite sure that i remember eating here before, even though i was a wee one at the time. mom doesn't believe me, but how can you forget the umbrellas?

i multi-tasked during lunch and figgered out how to blog from the phone :) for a brief time, my blog address was "boyhat"something or other...heh.

i'm fixin' to go to texas...by way of cincinnati. can't wait to see you liz! :)

oh look! there is a petting zoo in front of the school. all the kids got to go out and see the animals and that lady did not mess around. she ran a tight ship...set up, kids through, cleaned up and out of there in about 2 hours. the only evidence of her visit was the pile of poop.

sigh...now the girls are with their dad in florida. can't wait until they come home!

thank you

for sharing new "music" with me :)

i finally got around to putting this song on the ipod and here are some things the girls had to say about it:

"that's creepy!"
lilli whimpered...i changed it. a few songs later...including this fun one:

the girls asked to hear the "creepy song" again.
lilli asked me if it was a giant singing the song.
kaely thought it sounded more like a dragon.
elise was just trying to figure out what the guy was saying, while playing air guitar.
i think they like it.
