My Week in Photos

Did you watch the Oscars? This was the first year, I got into it! Watching more than half of the films helped. I kind of had an idea of what was going on.

What did you think of John Travolta? Slate.com has a Travolta name generator. Check mine out.

After watching the Oscars on Sunday I went to bed and I was sleeping so good, until I heard Cheyenne crying. Cleaning puke in the middle of the night is not fun. I missed work Monday because both girls were sick with a stomach bug. This is what my Monday looked like. The upside…my floors are super clean! When my kids are sick, I'm reminded how much I love hardwood and tile throughout my house.

Yesterday, while running around the indoor track, I watched this basketball game.

Most of the time, when I window shop, I find myself looking at formal dresses. I want to buy all of them…. and wear them where? I don't know. I love this black and white Calvin Klein formal. You can't tell from this photo, but the white section has tiny sequins all over it.

Mrs. Rosa loves to braid hair. Next week, is the last week the girls will be staying at Rosa's. She's been wonderful and reliable. I can't think her enough for filling in for Mrs. Amanda during her maternity leave.

I'm completely out of coffee at home, so when I went to Sprouts I took three cups of sample coffee. In my defense the cups are tiny. Dakota was judging me, I can see it in her eyes.

Tomorrow, I'm taking school portraits, so I bought some snack food. I'll be tied down to one location for a good portion of the day, so it's nice having easy food like this. The Way Better Chips, were BOGO free at Sprouts. I hope I like them.
 
Did you have a chance to enjoy the weather today? It was a gorgeous 68 degrees outside. The girls spent at least 2 hours outside.

Cheering for the Good Guys & My Garden Grows

I like basketball, but I don't follow it during the normal season...that is unless a TEXAS team makes it to the playoffs --- oh yeah, and if Trey makes me. Trey didn't have to twist my arm to get me to watch this series. Actually, Trey wasn't even home to watch the game.

Dallas Mavericks are on the edge of winning the championship and I don't want to miss it.

The Bad Guys. Here is a better photo of Lebron and I have to say one of my favorites.

Moscato wine, while watching the game. So sophisticated.

I have mint in the garden and I haven't used it as often as I thought I would, but when I do, I like to put it in my water. Occasionally, I put it in fruit bowls.

Cheyenne needs black out curtains for her room. I put her to bed and it took her 30 minutes to go to sleep. She pulled out all the tricks:
1. I need to go to the bathroom.
2. I need a tissue. 
3. I want my mommy/daddy.
4. I want water.
Those tricks don't work on me, because I've been there. I remember doing that when I was little. My response -- "Let's go to the bathroom, but then go to bed and don't come out of your room or else...."

It's hard to say who won this battle. She fell asleep, but then ended up in our room around 3 am. Parents who have toddlers --- Do your little ones sneak into your room in the middle of the night? Cheyenne does every now and then. Most nights, I don't even realize it, until the morning. She's sneaky, she's good, she knows exactly what she's doing.

Her grin in this photo explains it all. She's thinking: Sure mom, I'll go to sleep now, but you'll see me in a few hours.

Switching gears a bit, here are the latest photos of the garden. I don't use any chemicals, to keep bugs away and I think the bugs are taking advantage of that.

Another batch of tomatoes were untouched (other than one minor scratch). You better believe I snatched those babies off the vine.

Flowery Cilantro.

I'm such a proud garden momma. I have Squash-Zuchinni!!!!! I'm so impressed with myself.

This flower wilts during the high heat of the day, but buds during the morning sunrise. I snapped this photo, this morning.

 Last year, the squash I planted got out of control. I ended up mowing it down. Mistake #1 - planting it outside of a contained area. I learned my lesson.

And now a flashback to last year.

Texas Wins @ Cowboys Stadium

I'm glad we took, Cheyenne. She had a great time.
Look at that huge SCREEN!

Towards the end of the game, Cheyenne decided she was going to use Landrea as a pillow.


By the way, Congratulations to Abilene High. They are now State Champions. Go Eagles! We have a lot of family and friends supporting them in San Antonio. Be Safe and Have Fun! River Walk...WHAT?! Trey and I probably would've gone to that game, but he is on call this weekend.
