You would be reading my eulogy...

If I had been driving behind this truck.

Two words.

Heart.
Attack.

Make that four words.

Omigosh.
Bees.
Heart.
Attack.

Reason #103 why I love my husband

He comes bounding into bed, puts his finger up under his nose, and says loudly "oh hoh hoh!" in a very thick french accent. Did I mention he has a moustache drawn on his finger?

Oh Wait, they are actually called Fingerstaches, and you can read about them here and here. Some people get them tatoo'd on!

Make a mental note.

Here's a little advice... Never, and I mean NEVER, under ANY circumstances, ask a woman if she is pregnant. Unless you have reliable information, or she is wearing a shirt that says "baby" on it with a big arrow pointing down - then don't go there.

More importantly, do not ask this question while eagerly looking at her tummy!

The quickest way to deflate a woman (or make her feel like she has an inflated belly!) is to ask her this question when she isn't pregnant.

Just trust me on this one!

Signed,
the one out looking for gym memberships

Chillin' with Dad

The inflatable mattress was out because one night Darren thought it would be cool to have a movie night downstairs :) I came down and there was a big mattress, hot chocolate, some baked goodies, and a chick flick date movie! What a good guy.

Girls Weekend!!

I was fortunate enough to get a weekend away with two of my greatest girlfriends a couple of weeks ago. I met these women during my pregnancy and we all had babies within four months of each other. Let me tell you, raising first time children for almost two years can really be a bonding experience!! I LOVE them so much and cannot express how much more fulfilling they have made my life as a mom.

Our weekend plans included lots of shopping, eating, and just hanging out. We went to Gilroy to experience the Gilroy Premium Outlets. That place is 145 stores of discounted greatness. Being mommies we mainly bought things for our kids, but a stop at the Garlic Store also had a couple of us carrying more bags.

Besides the shopping and talking, probably one of the best parts was eating grilled cheese sandwiches and fries at midnight in the Black Bear Diner. Yummmmmmm!

A big THANK YOU to our wonderful husbands for holding down the fort!

This was at breakfast on Saturday, we are so happy to be FREE!!
Kristen, Danaly, Me!

This is after eating our midnight meal. We were so tired we couldn't stop laughing... and posing.

What, is there something in my teeth?

This pic is begging for a caption - why don't you give it one in my comments :)

Friends!
