I was wrong

The picture was still hilarious the next morning. And it's still hilarious now.

LOL-ing myself to death

'Kay. Son #1 and I are about to bust a few blood vessels on ICANHASCHEEZBURGER tonight. Here's the one that about sent me into apoplexy (pero seguro que no parezca tan chistoso en la luz del dia...)

A bailar

Okay. So now that Son #1 is fourteen, he can go to the dances at church. He had his first opportunity this past Saturday. May I just say that I have never seen him so nervous about ANYTHING?!!? No recuerdo haber estado tan nerviosa yo. But the interesting part is that his dad forgot about the dance that evening and served chili for dinner. Can you say bad idea? I knew you could. :-P There was much teasing about possible individualized musical accompaniment.

Así que él se alistó y nosotros nos reunimos para orar juntos antes de que saliera. We decided to pray before he left since the younger kids would be in bed before he got back. Son #2 offered the prayer. What a sweet boy, he remembered his brother's nervousness and prayed that he would "not make a fool of himself or fart."

I love my kids.

Promised pic and more

El mes pasado les prometí una foto del autito de Hijo Número 2. He did an AWESOME job. It reflects his truly creative mind so much better tan the design he originally proposed (shiny black with a red hourglass - bleah). ¡Aquí está!

He calls it "The Cheese Whizzer." I love it! It was fun to watch him make the little mouse, too. A fellow that works for me thought it was real cheese in the pic. :-)

He took 2nd place in the troop derby and will race in districts in April.

And m'hija's race is tomorrow. Watch for a pic later. Y parece que somos la familia de las carreras ahora, porque Hijo Número 1 tiene una la semana que entra también. His race is with the Young Men at church and will be limited rules: they can use non-combustible power sources like CO2 cartridges, for example, and there's no weight limit. Kewl.

El sábado pasado pasé la tarde - una gran parte de la noche - con mi hermana. We watched Jane Eyre (may I just say "wowza!" It was actually BETTER than the book!) and ate yummy Greek chili. She let me take the leftovers home, and it heats up great. Hubby also approved. I really enjoy her company and it was fun to just hang out together. We agreed that this does not happen enough. Leaving her house at 11 PM it was extremely cold (wind chill near negative 30), and the steering column in the van freaked me out a little bit. It was quite sluggish, but warmed up fairly soon and was working fine by about a block from her house. No way could I have driven home if it hadn't. It's almost too bad - an excuse to stay the night would not have been unwelcome. ;-)

Off to the races.
Chau for nau.
