-----------------------------------------------------

Well let me tell you about last night, dh came home early he goes to look at his car that is parked in our yard it was covered or more like buried in the snow

and finally the snow is gone so I let the kids go play in the yard this w/end and their was gravel on his car well Cely had the bright idea ohhh I'm gonna clean his car cuz I can't wait for him to crank up this baby so we can go out for Ice Cream in it, yee hawwwww!!!
Oh wait you want to know why their was gravel on the car well b/c he used the snow blower one of the 10 x's we had snow and it got sprayed onto the hood of the car, k, k!
So my poor baby does a good thing right? Nope she didn't remove them one by one she scraped her hand/arm back and forth scraping the car w/the gravel ughhhhh
How the hey was I suppose to know the stupid gravel was on the car, I never go near that thing ne'wayz!! What can I say he is beyond upset and had the kids all lined up to see who could reach the farthest and who could've done it. Gio is the ride or die brother he would never give it up he's like IDK, IDK, IDK

yeah he knew and (who else would pose for this LOL) told me about it later on but said he didn't want her to get in trouble w/dad :p
You have to give it up to him he loves his lil sis and has the I don't snitch attitude, good or bad I'm undecided on that one still!!! This is what the car looks like now :( I told dh maybe we could buff it out, IDK I know nothing about this stuff :/

On a lighter note we have the most beautiful weather today it's about TIME!!!
59deg and Sunny woot so glad I see the light and not the foggy gray clouds!!

If you are new to my blog then you won't know why this moment brings about so many raw emotions inside my aching heart.



Here's the short version My 17yr old dd died suddenly 9.22.10 she spent 3 days in the Hospital after the first couple hours it was official she was brain dead but they couldn't let her go until 3 independent tests were done on her, it's the law here in CT so I hoped, prayed never bargained and neglected a lot until they pronounced her officially 9.25.10.
The feelings, the tears, the floating, racing thoughts, all the dreams that are torn away in the moment make you feel defeated, beaten is this really happening to us? YES and now I'm left w/a GAPING hole in my soul, heart, being whatever you want to call it....
It brings me to today this morning my ds he does this thing every other day w/Charlie's pic's he'll sit on the chaise in my bedroom and he'll remember some moments and when he's done he'll always say "she no come back, mami! Lali no come back!
I'll give him a hug and tell him no she can't come back but that's why you have these pictures. So to my surprise he did this today he spread out all her pic's all over the floor and his face in this one pic was just priceless, it was a true emotion I had never seen before and it just broke my heart :| so that's why I am sharing em usually I'd put it on her Memorial Blog but not today :(

He truly remembers and misses her ohhh his poor lil heart :|
yeah he loves his mismatched pj's!!!

A new kit and page I wanted to share to lighten up the moment :/

yeah this weekend we finally got to get the bikes out and the kiddos got to ride their bikes...
Mason was beyond exstatic except b/c of the rain that washed away all of of our mountains of snow we now have mud and our yard looks trashed!

I have to say that Mr Mason is at his WHY stage and NO stage both of them are enough to make me cringe and want to just tape his mouth shut but I would never do it, just think of it, LOL here is how it goes....
Mami can I go outside? No it's raining, WHY? b/c we'll get wet, WHY
Mami can I have some cheese? Later! WHY? b/c you just had grapes, WHY
Mami can I watch Spongebob? they are not showing it right now! WHY because it's only 9:00am, WHY
Mami where is Cely? in School. Why? b/c she needs to learn, WHY
this is what I get daily from him the list can go on and on but I love looking at his lil expressions when he says WHY? I wish I could say go Google it, LOL imagine the time when they will be able to sick I know!!
-------------------------------------
I am addicted to these so every time I go out I don't get the Iced Tea anymore I get this shake it's limited offer for St. Paty's Day @ MCD's :) let's see if they'll have it on Weds when I go out again!


--------------------------------
Here is a Page I did for this sketch featured on the Page Maps Blog it was in January and you could win a prize but I never did it till now :/ lol

Mr Mason in Easter of 09, he was to cute all his eggs fell out of his basket when he tripped. His sis and bro tried to come and steal his eggs and I was like noooo leave him alone they can be so sneaky :|
