this is about a tenth of the goodies my mom sent! thank you, mom!
bug making sure no fruit treats are left behind
q looking to see if there any fruit treats left in his bag
today was a day. meh. not great, not terrible. it started, again, with the ass-crack-of-dawn wakeup call from q, which, despite a super-fun playdate with new friends this morning, was followed by many tears and tantrums from both kids...borne of exhaustion. what saved today from being terrible and elevated it to near awesomeness was mail. we got two packages today : one from grammie and one from nana. we know that the one from nana has easter prizes in it, so we're holding off on that one for a few days. we knew that the one from grammie has all kinds of treats and foodstuffs in it...stuff we've been dying for. omigod...i have never been so happy to open a box. the boxes arrived before lunch, but we waited until after nap to open grammie's...so we could make an event of it. the kids were THRILLED. i was thrilled. i can't decide what i am going to make first! grammie sent all sorts of baking mixes and some taco seasoning and some dressing mixes. YUM! oooh, and flour tortillas from the HEB bakery...mmmmm! i think we might be having chicken tacos tomorrow :-)
after the box opening event, we jetted off to try a flamenco dancing class for livie. it was awesome, and she loved it. q was his usual destructive-force self and had to be removed from the premises, so he and i joined our friend to check out nearby wet markets. he had a ball inspecting fish, trying to touch every fruit and vegetable he saw, petting a cat, and generally taking in the sights. we ended the evening with a quick dinner playdate with our friends where the kids got to meet two hamsters, and then we called it a night. let's just hope that the monkeys sleep a little bit later tomorrow.
