Did I say that out loud?

A small tale from the land of Brooke that unfolded just one minute ago...

Selina was wanting to "play" with the folded laundry in the basket...(note to new moms: not a good idea) When I told her "No, don't play with that", she walked away saying matter-of-factly to herself "I'm gonna shut the door so you don't see me". She will soon realize that announcing her intentions out loud somehow messes up her plans. Until she gets it, it's sure nice that her answers are automatically honest... it saves me some work.

My first Spring picture! I haven't cleaned out my flower beds yet, but just wanted to share the joy of the first spring bloom.

Look! An update!

Hi everyone! ;)

I'm actually updating! I know, it's just kid stuff that only I and the grandmas will appreciate, but it does qualify as an update. We've had so many rainy days lately that there hasn't been much inspiration for picture taking! Maybe I'll take my camera to work and take some pictures of my cute massage room and my friends there.

Anyway, yesterday was the first moderately sunny day we've had so far this spring! Usually this time in April we're well into the 70's and everyone has a tan. We're water-logged, just like the rest of you! :) So last night was the first Thurs night Farmer's Market downtown Chico. It was crowded, just the usual. Some good live music. I met Kelly for a girlie dinner downtown, and we had a good time as always. We were shocked (and I was appalled) later at the restaurant when a birthday girl's friends had a male stripper show up and do all kinds of naughty and inappropriate things to her right in the middle of the restaurant! Later, I reflected a bit on how much I was like my mother at that moment. There were kids in that restaurant! I was just glad that my kids weren't there.

And in other news..... my mom is flying in on Monday! YAYAAYAYAY! We're so looking forward to her visit. I will try not to work her too hard since she is viewing this as a "break". (Break? Hah!) She's been working really hard lately helping everyone up there move and settle and taking care of her house by herself. So I might leave the kids with her to escape on my own just maybe twice. Or thrice. :) I'm already planning my getaway tactics.

Massage therapy has really picked up for me in the past three weeks, hence the lack of updating and emailing. Sorry....but I'm tired.

I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow for Gina Wang (used to be Newsom) she's due in early June.

That's all folks. Have a GREAT weekend!

He says "Teeeese!" when he sees me with the camera.

So happy with daddy!

Whee! I'm sliding by myself!

Wait a second...

I changed my mind! I changed my mind!
