the boy scout crasher

so earlier in the week tatiana decides she is going to crash boy scouts

why? she gets so jealous when things go on without her

she kept asking mary all week, can i come can i come can i come?

of course i kept saying, no you are not a boy scout.. its only for boy scout families.


previously she has been known for crashing any party that goes on in the neighborhood... for instance the cookout at brandons?

somehow she convinced emily h. to let her come

and somehow we ended up bringing her don't ask me how i have no idea. but i will say never again!

but that child has a criminal mastermind. she is the most knieving plotting twisted person.

the boy scouts went ok they used a compass to walk to the park and back and i have no idea what ever happened with mary, tati and emily h. they stayed back at emily's house while the boys walked to the park

gymnastics

mary had her gymnastics recital yesterday. Its nice that she likes something. she does want to be part of something. its more like a tumbling class rather than an actual gymnastics class. they teach them the basics, somersaults, cartwheels etc nothing too elaborate

but i was so stressed the whole time. I didn't realize the recital would take up the whole class time of 1hour. I was so nervous the boys were going to act up... thankfully they didn't and everything went ok.

rule to live by: never leave home without crackers and baby wipes, you never know when you will need them!

saturday

saturday we had another baseball game. Jp didn't win the ball this time but he had a good time playing. the weather was perfect finally for a game.

afterwards we played some catch in the backyard with all the boys.

mary went to her friends house to play for the day

we went up to st.victor's to see what that church is like... it was so beautiful there. i loved it. The lawns were manicured and pretty flowers and definitely safer looking all around with the gates in the courtyards. I wish mary could go there for 6-8th grade.. that would be so nice. I will look into that school just to see how much. They had a really cute playground in the back too.

we went inside the church too for a minuet but that didn't go well.
All the boys were stomping their feet like they were marching in the army and they kept talking so loudly and the church was echoing..it was so embarrassing

we went to taco bell for dinner.... i love tacos but 3 days in a row now? yuck i can't stand anymore...

the previous day we were at el buen gusto and that place was good but they totally screwed up the order. they don't speak a word of english there it seems so no wonder. no one got anything they ordered. the server is very nice there but she always messes up.

james was funny there..he forgot somehow to wear underwear that day and his pants kept falling down exposing his bare bottom...lol the ppl behind us were laughing at us..again, embarrassing!

why i hate to shop at safeway

besides the obvious reasons of shopping with 5 kids or 3 kids depending on the day... there are always homeless ppl over there. i swear the same 3 homeless ppl have been living in the safeway parking lot for the past 4 years.

not that i have anything against them, they can live there if they want but they make me squirmy

like there is this lady that lives in the lot.... I am putting in the groceries and she comes up to the baby and starts stroking her arm,

"Oh what a cute baby!" she says

i do feel bad for this person but please don't touch my baby! I mean who knows where you have been? literally.

Its one thing to ask for money but another to actually touch my children.

MOM, there is duct tape in my cereal !

yesterday the boys were carrying around a bag of apple jacks and dumped it out on the floor carpet... me being the thrifty mom that i am scoops it back up and sticks it back in to the bag. I do notice some bits of hair and dirt and i try to remove the larger pieces of dirt/hair and whatnots. I hope the kids don't notice..hey they will eat anything!

fast forward to the next morning, mary always complains if she gets tasteless cereal (i.e. anything healthy) so i give her the apple jacks.

"MOM there is duct tape in my cereal!" she screams!


"ohhhh, really ?"i say acting like i have no idea how duct tape could have possibly gotten into the cereal..lol "Just pick it out and then eat it.."

mary picks it out and then i hear another scream


"EWWWWW what is in this cereal mom! It tastes weird... like dirt! "she screams again...

"oHhh idk why it would taste like dirt", i say "how about some tasteless cereal then? "

I give her instead a more healthy variety and she spends the next few minuets fishing in the cereal bowl investigating for duct tape and dirt. Thankfully this time there is nothing to worry about. the boys didn't get to this box.

baby poo

the one thing about baby poop not smelling too bad is that u never know if you have any baby poo on u or not, here i am thinking that i have pancake batter splattered all over my shirt and come to find out i was wrong...lol
