Discotheque

Meet Bisty Crinkley and Al Machino.
And wish Bisty a happy birthday
at this Discotheque,
a groovy night of murder.

This was about a month ago,
But what cool friends we have
to host and play
this murder mystery game.
We had such a fun night.

Still Sick and November Pics

I know how to spell pneumonia now,
without spell check.
I never really wanted to learn to spell that word.
Or to have it for that matter.
I need to quick, hurry get better
Because I have Easter and a vacation to plan.
And I think all my children are forgetting who I am.
For the last few weeks
whenever L hears me cough
I hear her shout "mama!"
But when I make it into the same room
as all the living
More often than not
she reaches for her Dada.
Well, if I have to be replaced
She picked a good one.

Did I ever post these family pictures we took back in November?

Friday with the Sun

What a happy day.
When the sun comes out
and shines its glorious rays through my windows
I smile more
and even laundry becomes a pleasant task.
And to make the day even better
Eric worked from home.
So then I got to see this,
how every dad should get to work
every once in awhile.

When my boys came home,

They bounced with friends
from bikes to basketball to trampoline
All afternoon.

To end the day,
The boys and I went to a solo piano recital
for another student of their piano teacher.
What beautiful music came from that grand piano and that 15 year old girl!
It made my heart happy to sit there
with my boys.
Afterwards they told me they liked it.
Well, and that they really liked the cookies.
I do hope they liked the music more than the cookies though.
But, if nothing else, maybe now they are inspired
to stick with piano
so we can serve yummy cookies
at their solo piano recitals some day.
