6 Times!!!

I don't really think it is my all time high but still pretty good for one outing to Target then Costco.  What am I talking about you may ask?  How many times I get "You have your hands full." from strangers.  Don't get me wrong, I am pretty sure these strangers mean something well when they say this, but I am never quite sure what "You have your hands full" really means or how I should respond.  "Thank you???" "Do I really look THAT frazzled today???" or "Yeah, do you want to lend me a hand instead of commenting on how full mine are???"  Any ideas or suggestions on what my response should be? In defense of all of the strangers, there was ONE stranger who responded to me "having my hands full" wonderfully!  An older Hispanic woman that didn't speak a lick of English came up to me in the parking lot, gestured to my children, raised her hands in the air and then sweetly put her hands on both sides of my face, all while saying something in Spanish that sounded very happy and celebratory to me.  (for all I know she could have been saying, "you and your children are stinky poo heads") but I smiled my biggest smile and said, "THANK YOU!"

According to Sylvia...

According to Sylvia, my kisses are "rusty."  Also, when I said, "I love you" she replied, "Mom, that is NOT the best thing to say to me."  Also, tonight she got in big trouble for telling Isabel that she is going to cut her arm off tomorrow.

Tucson Gem and Mineral Show

This morning I gave each child $5 and we headed out to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.  From what I understand, it is the largest Gem and Mineral Show in the world.  They had all kinds of beads, stones, jewelry and miscellaneous.  We had fun but only stayed long enough to find a few treasures.  We were mostly scoping it our for this weekend when our friends from Las Vegas visit.  It should be a fun activity.

This is a little random, but this t-shirt that Hazel is wearing is my very favorite. I know it doesn't look like much, but it is so thin that she is just so soft and cuddly in it.  (oh, and I love her little moon eyes when she smiles.  And I still can't tell what color her hair is going to be.)

Here is a song that we like to sing to Hazel.  In case you can't understand it, the words are, Munchichi Munchichi, oh how soft and cuddly, with your thumb in your mouth you're really neat!  (I don't remember the Yayayaya part, but now that I know it, I better add it next time I sing it to her.)
