Brief Hiatus

With life being as stressful as it has been lately, we threw caution to the wind and joined Larry for a trip down to San Antonio. To see our favorite cousins.
Larry had some Lectures to attend to keep up on his BAR.
So while he's bored out of his mind we kick back with a house full of kids.
With whom I am completely indebted to for playing with each of them
despite their large age gaps.
The only way to get my monstrous 4-sum to sleep last night was to put Ben in with Grant, Keira with Eliza and the 2 girls shared a room with me.
And crazy enough...it worked!

But just to prove to you how much these kids love their cousins I must relate a story.
This morning the cousins were headed out their last day at school.
Ben and I watched as Sarah and Grant walked down the street.
I felt bad for the little guy.
Grant is his idol.
So I held out my arms for a little Mommy hug.
Instead he looked at me, stuck out his bottom pout lip, turned...
and hugged Eliza's leg instead!
I was completely DENIED!
I guess these 3 kids are WAY BETTER then mom.


We'll see if Ben changes his mind when we get home!

Until then...I'm on vacay!

(aka: helping my sister rid her closet of clothes from the 90's)

Aren't cousins the best. I didn't have any may age, but tall the big ones were good sports most of the time and the little ones thought I was cool, so it wasn't too bad over all.

That had to be so fun going through all the old clothes, good for laughs. I get embarrassed when I go through my closet, by myself!

You go to with Kim's closet, Rae! Be ruthless...Kim needs it! Consider this an intervention! Luv, MOM
PS: You look good in that car!

Cousins are the best!!! I have like over 70 cousins (no joke!!) and my kids have tons too!! They LOVE getting together with all of them!!

P.S. before you get rid of the '90's clothing...you two should model some of it for us all!!! (wink wink!!)

Looks like fun!
PS. How's the car? We, um, need to buy a new car this weekend. Dave's got totalled on the freeway this morning. (He, thankfully, blessedly, is fine).
