Plano Balloon Festivas

Well we did the balloon festival this year after skipping it last year for Octoberfest in Addison. I think we're going to switch off every other year. The balloon thing is great for the kids and close to home. But it's kind of a beating with the heat and lack of much to do other than look at the balloons. Don't get me wrong, it's really incredible to see them all but I can't do that every year. I wouldn't appreciate it enough I think if I did. Octoberfest has lots of carny rides, great German food and goodies. But of course the main goodies there is the beer! The kids can catch some dancing dog shows, chicken dancing and the Himalaya while mom and dad smile on with beers in hand and a shrinking wallet. But alas, you can't get the beautiful pics that I got while at yuppy Germany in Addison. The look in Meggie's eyes while the giant Energizer bunny glows in the night is truly pr
iceless.

Wow, how did we miss Elvis? That's a great idea about swapping out the Balloon Fest and Oktoberfest!

Mom returns

I'm back from a wild weekend with da' women. We had a blast in Galveston in an incredible house just a block from the beach. It was a welcomed vacation from the incessant chaos that I welcome each day. The kids seemed to have survived as well as love muffin. Although they did run out to my car to greet me as if to say Thank God you're home mom! Lessons Learned: I learned a lot about some of my mommy friends this weekend. Some of it was useful, some not-s0-useful. I learned lots of birth stories, love stories and bathroom idiosyncracies. I learned who's grossed out by bugs, chives, and most things slimy. I learned who likes to drive in the rain and who has to make potty stops because of driving in it. I learned who likes to talk about all things food. But I still don't know why American cheese isn't good for the kids. I learned that vacations are rough on the digestive tract (especially the lower regions). I learned that we all like to lay around in jammies and t shirts and welcome any opportunity to pop the bra straps at the end of the day. I learned that although we're mostly all past thirty, we can still be wearing stuff to hold our teeth strait and when you do you sound like my 2 year old with a binky in her mouth. And lastly I learned that moms, no matter where we come from or how we grew up we take care of each other and we never grow tired of birth stories and baby bragging and love stories. And I look forward every time I see my friends to learn more.
