A wee bit tired...

and I don't mind at all. This morning, well I guess last night and this morning I granted my nine year old son a favor. He has been wanting to see the new Transformers movie since they announced a sequel. He loves the first one and watches it over and over. I have to admit, I love it too, and I will watch it with him over and over too. I had promised to take him to the midnight show, and believe me, he didn't forget. All day yesterday that is all he talked about.

Both Kai and Nachito spent the afternoon at a birthday party and played on a water slide for hours. I thought that for sure, he would be so tired and we'd have to skip the midnight show. Oh no, not my kid. By 10 o'clock last night he was anxious. He couldn't sit still and quite honestly, was driving me crazy. I finally just gave up and jumped in the car and headed down to the theater. It was pretty intense. Parking was hard to come by and the lines were pretty ridiculous. Fortunately and I had ordered our tickets online prior to leaving the house. We were assigned a theater and I found us some seats. I went to grab our snacks and we waited, and waited.

Finally the trailers started. Nachito was so fidgety. I asked him if he was tired and he said "No, I'm just so excited, I can't wait." And at about 12:30 the movie finally started. It was worth the wait. Very exciting and a lot of explosions. A lot of twists and turns. If you liked the first one, you will love this one too. When it ended, he clapped and had the biggest smile on his face. We got home past three in the morning.

Nachito fell asleep the minute his head touched his pillow/teddy. And as I left the house this morning on four hours of sleep, I checked in on him. He had a smile on his face as he slept. And I left with a smile on my face, for even though today will be rough for me, I know that I will remember our movie date forever.

vous êtes conviés

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Flashback Friday

This Friday, I am participating in two links. My first is with Alicia over at More Than Words . There are only two weeks to go for TDA's Summer Recital. This year it will be held at Higley Performing Arts on June 20 at 7:00. Kassie will be in aproximately 14 dances so far. Might change though. Hopefully it will change to less. : ) Recital is in full swing right now. Every day, you see kids walking out with their costumes. It is so cute. I especially love seeing the little two and three year olds. They are always so excited. This is a picture of Kai in her 2nd Recital with TDA. It was her first year taking more than two classes. I think she was in five or six recital numbers. It was her first official ballet dance. She had never taken a full ballet class. She since has learned to love it. This picture was taken in 2005 making her only nine years old. How fast time goes..... June 2005
