bits-n-pieces

Saw this quiz on my brother's blog and did it too. I guess I came up as belonging in the same year as his wife...

You Belong in 1955

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!


Other musings:

We have Pinewood Derby this week for Son #2 and in another three weeks for m'hija. Me gusta que las Girls Scouts hagan esta actividad con las niñas - m'hija está re-entusiasmada. She's going to make a car that has a puppy and his doghouse on it. Son #2 changed his original design idea - for the better, I'd say - but he's keeping it under wraps from the public until the race. Pondré fotos aquí después. It turned out great!

¡Qué luna tan increíble se veía ayer! It was full an bright, shining from a cloudless sky onto the fresh snow that fell the day before. Amazing. When I woke up, Son #1 was on the couch looking at it and called me to see. About an hour later m'hija did the same thing: "Mom, is that the moon or the planet Venus?" (My sisters should be chuckling right about now - Look! It's Venus!)

The cookie selling is going well, I think. M'hija is 42% to her goal after two door-to-door days. We expect she'll get several more orders at the Pinewood Derby tonight, too. Last Saturday we toured a bakery with her Brownie troop and had a great time. The owner let all the girls decorate a cupcake, and you'd have thought she'd given them the deed to Fort Knox.

I love being a mom.
