My March Post

It’s been well over a month since my last update. At this rate, it seems I’ll have 1 post a month this year (which is totally NOT what my goal was!). But oh well. I can’t complain. I guess lack of updates means life’s pretty busy and I’m just glad it’s the positive type of busy. I hope it stays that way!

This will be one of those backward-type posts.

The kids are all home on Spring Break, except for Jules who went back home Sunday night. We took the kids to the Discover the Dinosaurs exhibit at the Convention Center on Sunday, except for Eenan who didn’t want to go (teenagers!) and stayed with John. Poor Jorgie had to get an adult ticket and couldn’t get on the moonjumps and rides. And Justin and Jaylen didn’t have as much fun as the little ones lol. But it was fun to get out and do something different.

We went to Weinershnitzel afterwards. Hotdogs and ice cream cones galore!

Emily and Jaylen accompanied me to the mall on Saturday. They had a great sale on kids’ T-shirts so I got the boys a few each. And got myself some work pants, finally. Now all I need is heels because petite STILL fits so long on me :(!

Anyway, my boy is such a gentleman, carrying bags and all :). We ate at the food court and then joined the brood at home, where I made tacos for all :).

Other than that, poor things haven’t had much of a Spring Break since Jorge and I are working :(. They leave with their other parents on Wednesday, so that cuts our week short. We were going to go to the movies last night but it became late so we opted to rent a new movie on Directv…just to find out the ones the kids wanted to watch aren’t out for home rentals yet, grr. So we watched “Interstellar”, which depressed the crap out of everyone lol.

Poor Eenan got his wisdom teeth extracted on Friday: all 4, all at once.

As annoyed as I was by the crappy service at the oral surgeon’s office and even worse service at the pharmacy, I’m glad my Nano is recovering pretty well. Even though he’s my big boy I can tell he loved the undivided attention and getting to laugh at my pitiful attempt at playing Halo with him. He even said at the beginning of the week, “I can’t wait, Mama.”

Me: “For?”

Eenan: “To get all the attention like Jorgie did when he broke his leg and like Emily did when she had pneumonia.”

He’s still my baby :). I wish we could spend more time together :(.

My poor Emmos had pneumonia :(. She was sick with an annoying cough for about a month and a half and it only got worse. She finally recovered the 2nd week of March, thank goodness. I’m sure the doctors thought I was crazy taking her in every few days, but when I finally requested an xray and the pneumonia showed up they understood why I was so paranoid.

Last week was a flurry of Open Houses for the boys.

I got to catch up with my girls, too, when I was kidless this past weekend. Jessica M. and I had lunch at Casa del Taco on Friday and then I met up with Jessica R.P. in the evening at Hobby Lobby and Starbucks. Both girls treated me, I felt so important hehe. It was great catching up, love them!

I ran some errands with my love the next morning and then I met Jessica M. at IHOP for brunch. I get home later and find a beautiful Hen and Chicks succulent that Sally dropped off for me. I called her and picked her up to go look at plants and Home Depot hehe. I love my girl-dates!

The week before that was a flurry of clothes shopping for them and the girls’ picture day and their Open House.

Before that, we celebrated Emily and Jorgie’s birthdays at Xtreme Lazer Tag. Due to her pneumonia, Emily couldn’t even enjoy the party because she got tired after the first round of tag :(. I sat out with her while she played with her presents and she was content. The other kids did have fun though. Jorge did too! He said, “I think I kicked a kid and used Julien as a shield!” ^_^ It’s a pretty cool place.

Emily got to celebrate her birthday with her classmates, too, and Alaethia was invited so that was nice :).

My love and I celebrated Valentine’s Day on the 20th since the 14th is Julien’s birthday and we had a party for him and Alaethia that day :). We had an awesome dinner at Palenque Grill. Those people are amazing! Super efficient and courteous. We watched “50 Shades of Grey” at Cinemark. I can’t complain about the movie and Jorge was pretty ok with it too. Although we celebrated late, my love outdid himself this year with the Valentine’s gifts.

First, he got me a Nosy Bear I wanted:

Which I was ecstatic about. But then 36 roses arrived at work on the 13th:

And another 36 at home on the 14th:

Along with some goodies:

And then some Tulips on Monday:

So yes, he most definitely outdid himself!

We had forgotten how crazy it was to put on a kids’ party, and that’s because it wasn’t anything huge, just a few friends and family. Very few. Dina chipped in and the family visited and the kids had a blast, though. Alaethia was sad Audrey couldn’t come (they were out of town celebrating her birthday) but Delyssa was there. And Sally, George and the kids. The kids all played Glow Tag with glowstick bracelets and necklaces all throughout the house while Joyce and I stayed at the moonjump with the little ones.

And who doesn’t like having a moonjump for 2 whole days??

So that’s part of March and some of February :). So many great things happening I could explode sometimes :).
