It's getting HOT

This is the back of Coleman and Sarah's school. I really like the flowering tree. Things are so different down here. Yesterday I was driving to the store and out of know where two green with a little yellow parrots flew in front of my car and I almost hit them. Sarah told me two days before that that she saw some green parrots on her way to school. How cool. I'm tring to get use to the heat but it is hard. It's bad when you have to run the air in your car on the way to work in the morning.

This is a picture of the play ground at Miranda's day care.

There are trolley's that pick up the elderly and take them to appointments, the store, here and there. I have been tring to get a picture of one for a couple weeks and lucked out to day after work.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Mother's day humor

We celebrate the Mother's Day to show honor and respect to one of the most influential persons in our lives. We all have spent most formative years of our lives with our mothers and shared all joy and sorrows. Such is the greatness of our mom that she always tries to make us feel happy even in times of distress. This occasion of Mother's Day would become more enjoyable if we add some flavor of humor to it.

"The hand that rocks the cradle usually is attached to someone who isn't getting enough sleep."- John Fiebig

"I'd like to be the ideal mother, but I'm too busy raising my kids."- Unknown

The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she'd have children if she had it to do over again. "Yes," she replied. "But not the same ones."- David Finkelstein

A little boy forgot his lines in a Sunday school presentation. His mother was in the front row to prompt him. She gestured and formed the words silently with her lips, but it did not help. Her son's memory was blank. Finally, she leaned forward and whispered the cue, "I am the light of the world." The child beamed and with great feeling and a loud clear voice said, "My mother is the light of the world." - Bits and Pieces, 1989

A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: "My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?" When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word Mother- Unknown

A Big Week

We have had a lot go on this week. I started my new job. It is going great. Sarah lost a tooth last Saturday. Then Coleman and Sarah both lost a tooth on Tuesday. The tooth fairy visited both of them that night. It seemed weird having them both loose one in the same day. They also started in their new after school program. They love it. I was able to sign them up for summer camp through the school also. They do a lot of things during summer camp. Vince has been working late almost every night. We received Cloverfield from Netflix and was able to watch it Thursday night. We both really enjoyed the movie. I was going to take the kids to the beach today but when I checked the weather there was a rip current warning. So we will go another day. I really worry about a rip current grabbing one of the kids. The last few people to work in the position I had were unable to catch up on their work and had piles of work sitting every where. I'm told. It is hard for me to believe that because I sit around waiting for work everyday. Have a great week everyone.
