Juanito Bandito

Tonight we took Zach ' family to see the play/musical Juanita Bandito. It was hilarious and we all got our own 'staches! Lyndee enjoyed it so much, that she was hooting and hollaring. She came home with 3 mustaches. One for her lip and 2 for her sideburns. I took mine off during intermission.  That HURT!! I felt like I was waxing my upper lip (which I have NEVER done).
Thank you Aunt Mariah (my sis-in-law) for watching and putting up with our 3 youngest kids.
We went to dinner before the show and it was not very good. You know it's not good when my hubby leaves more than half a Ruben sandwich on his plate, and I only had 1 bite of my steak. My baby wouldn't even eat my steak, and he loves to eat. We haven't eaten St the Bluebird for years and now I know why. UGH! Also . . . If someone makes a reservation for 6 pm have that table ready 10 min. to 6 pm not 15 min after.
Ok I'm done ranting.
I highly recommend Juanita Bandito if anyone needs a little night out with some laughs.

A smile to my face

Last night I went grocery shopping with Lyndee. After passing by the dairy section I turned back to get some cottage cheese. Now, Alex loves cottage cheese, and I don't buy it that often. Once in awhile if I think about it I'll pick some up.  as the kids and I are unloading the groceries from the van, and putting them away, I hear something that every mother loves to hear. In the words of Alex with a look of utter surprise upon his face, he says to me, "YOU ARE THE BEST MOM EVER!!!"  At first I had no idea why he had said this, so I simply asked him. "Why?" He replied, "You bought my most favorite treat ever!" In my head I'm thinking to myself trying to remember all the things that I bought at the store, wondering what treat did I buy him? I really couldn't remember buying him a treat. I bought Lyndee a treat because she came with me we ate them in the car before we got home, but I really couldn't remember buying a treat for Alex that he absolutely loves and was his favorite. Then slowly and happyily with that surprise look up on his face, he pulls the cottage cheese out of the grocery sack. You would have honestly thought he was in heaven. I was if one could just hear this wonderful music playing in the background as he lifted it into the air above his head in wonder and awe that Mom bought him cottage cheese!
It brought such a smile to my face. Zach would be proud. They both like cottage cheese.

An Alex Funny

So tonight I asked Alex a question while driving home.
Me: Alex, when you get older and get married, will you marry a nice girl?
Alex: Why Mom?
Me: I will be so sad if you marry a mean girl and I never get to see you.
Alex: OK Mom. I will. But . . . If I forget will you remind me?
Me: (Laughung with a huge smile on my face.) YES I WILL!

Good Morning
