Long Time No Talk!

I know its been so long since we posted, you'all thought we were ate alive by scorpions...but in all reality, the power cord on our laptop stopped functioning, therefore we had to wait over a week to receive our replacement...meaning no e-mail, no blogging, or the such like!!

So now that we're back, we still don't have much to blog about ~ go figure!!! We're kind of in a scheduled rut, so to speak. Michael goes to school everyday, I do laundry everyday, plus cook, do dishes, watch the kids, try to do Rosetta Stone Spanish every afternoon...you get the idea...a never-ending list of things to do.

So for excitement recently, Michael and the boys made a "tent" underneath our table and read books together!



I've also tried my hand at making scrapbook cards. All the cards down here are in Spanish, and I don't have any on hand, so the need arose to make a few cards to send to family and friends. I don't really know too much about it, don't have much equipment, and don't claim to be an expert, but here are the end results.




Oh, let's not forget...you know the mattress story from when we first moved in here? That poor mattress is biting the dust!! When you sit or lay on it, it squishes down to about 2-3 inches and you can feel all the coils...they're poking you in the back!! Anyway, recent restless nights dictated that we buy a new one. We found a queen, pillow-top at Walmart for a decent price, so we're hoping this works better than the last one!! We're going to pick it up tomorrow!

Until the next time...
