Is always about Mitchell.

I was down loading our camera to mail some pictures to my parents and what do i found? 94 pictures of my good looking Husband trying to look good for the camera. Some as you will see are pretty good other not so much. Was pretty funny to keep looking and looking at him with different faces. I have to say “He has a hat face”. Maybe i should try and publish my work and who knows i will be famous.

OK i better dash at the next fun adventures of our family.

Yesterday we lost Sparky the gerbil. Sometime in the afternoon it was noted that he was balled up and acting strange. Ale called me at work seeking my expert small animal medical opinion. My prognosis: not good.

Ale called again later to pronounce him deceased. She placed his body in a plastic bin with some bedding for comfort.

My main concern was for Audrey. When I came home she was enjoying a play date with her friend. Annika informed me “Sparky’s dead!” I went in to see if I could determine cause of death.

I found Sparky’s “box” and took the lid off. Poor fellow was still alive! He didn’t look good; balled up with a little blood at the mouth. He was cold so I put his box on a heating pad. I figured he ought to have a better chance of survival warm than cold.

Of course this became the evening vigil. “Is he gonna die?” I tried to break it to the kids gently: he’s either gonna live, or he’s gonna die… again.

Sparky did cross over to that big cage in the sky sometime around 8pm PDT. May he rest in peace.

Now the thing that was never quite figured out was cause of death. However, a certain four year old was last seen playing with Sparky in the AM. She just said, “Maybe he bumped his head.” I didn’t press her too much. Anyone who knows Annika knows you’d have better luck getting pigs to fly than a straight answer from her.

My kids for a while have been asking for some cookies,but i haven’t find the time to make ‘em.So twos days ago after dinner the million dollars question was ask?”any cookies mom?”NO cookies where to be found, so my kids  decide that was time to step up and take the situation in their hand and so what happen next?Annika found the chocolate chips,Audrey found the bananas and Olivia the forks,the power of sisterhood.

Dessert was served that night.Melting chocolate chips,cut bananas and forks to help the little fingers.

A Mom with super gifted kids.
