hit Las Vegas this past weekend.
a few highlights...
laughing until I cried at least 5 times each day
wonderful road trip companions
sleeping in until 7:30 or 8:00 each day
Starbucks in bed
being beyond girly and taking 2 hours to get ready
AIDS ear
bad comedy
shaking my money maker ALL NIGHT LONG
big earrings and even bigger sunglasses
potty accidents
shuttle mishaps
deli sandwiches at 12 AM
holding hands with my husband
dancing with my husband
laughing with my husband
talking with my husband
it is odd how when we actually spend time together we have an absolute ball!
Love that boy.
Thank you Vegas - I have come home with no voice but with a fresh recharged motivation for motherhood, my marriage, my career & my waistline.
Cheers!

Words of Wisdom...by Isaac (7) - Henry (2.5)
- Isaac's new word is specifically however he can't say it correctly. He only says pacifically. Cracks me up!
- Henry is obsessed with Toy Story & he has only seen the 1st movie! He walks around the house with his Woody & "Butt Lightyear" dolls. :)
- Henry's favorite new question at 23 months old "what are youuuuu doooooinnnn?" Love that gubby
- When telling Isaac that Stephen Hawking has been called one of the smartest
people on the planet he replied with "evensmarter than dad" - Henry calls Isaac "Ikie" Nothing makes me happier than
hearing that while they play. - So I have a
zit under my nose & this morning Henry (21 mts) asked me if I had a booger. Nice. - Henry's new favorite animal is a frog. At 19 months old he pronounces frog like "fauck"...it's awesome
- Even though you don't like someone you still need to give them a valentine....Isaac prepping for his
school party - She likes being called a zombie that's why I like her...Isaac telling me about his friend Jenna
- Using a blue crayon as a toothpick does not carry the same positive end result as its' wooden counterpart.
