CARS

A couple of weeks ago I took the kids to Downtown Disney to see some of the cars from the new Cars movie that is coming out this summer.  It was so HOT!!!  William loved it.


Cici's Pizza & a snake

For pizza night the other day the kids wanted to go to Cici's pizza.  It's been a long time since I went to an all-you-can-eat buffet.  It was fun, but I was a bit appalled at all of the overweight people there.
Yum!  Pizza sauce with a spoon.

On a side note-this is why we close our doors in FL.

Mom and Muffins

For Mother's Day I was invited to Sadie's kindergarten class for muffins, singing and gift giving.  Sadie had planted a peanut plant for me.  The teacher had also put together a booklet of poems about different pictures that the kids had made by dipping their hands in paint.  It was so cute.

My friend Andrea

Maybe the only person in the world that makes me feel tall!  Too bad she moved to UT.

Our killer bushes

Last month my Mother-in-law came for a visit.  I cannot believe how much work she did.  I'm pretty sure that we worked her so hard that she may never come back.  We had privacy hedges on one side of the pool that were over 20 feet tall.  She cut all of the hedges on either side of the yard, trimmed all of the palm trees (about 10), planted about 60 plants, and weeded.  She also fixed one of the sprinkler heads.  I hope she comes back-maybe this time we can go to the beach!

Hedges from side of house.  When I asked a landscaping company for a quote on trimming them, they came around the corner and said "Oh, you want those trees trimmed?"  Umm, those are bushes.  The quote $300.
