A beautiful day in the neighborhood

So I'm Mr. Rogers! No really today was a beautiful day and ironically enough as we went for a walk around the neighborhood all I could think of was that silly song. I even had Slugger singing it as he rode his bike. It was actually funny. At least it put a smile on my face. I love my family. (You better write that down, because I'm sure that can change in a split second!) No really I love my family. My son drives me up a wall and I'm sure my daughter will too, she's just to little to do that yet. It was so nice getting to walk together as a family around the block. Slugger was on his bike and Cupcake was in the wagon. Which by the way she LOVED. She squealed over and over again. She was so sweet. At one point Slugger got side by side with her and said "Sissy are you having fun?" I thought my heart would melt and run down my body and pool on the ground. Yes, he loves his sister, but realisticly I know at some point I'm going to be poking my eyes out with a stick when they are fighting. SO I will take it. But the neighborhood was so beautiful today. It was cool and quiet, except for the few people out doing yard work. Not to many cars driving down the road. The air was crisp. It was perfect. I couldn't have changed anything to make it better. I could have been holding my husbands hand, but with Slugger on his bike and hills he needed to be beside him. I will have to go for more walks around the neighborhood this week when it's not raining. I just hope they are as nice as this walk was. All in all a wonderful day spent with the family.

Goodnight,
Peaches

Speaking English

Well to start off with Cupcake decided yesterday was the day to take her first steps. I was so happy, but wanted to cry at the same time. I can't believe she is almost one. Where does the time go. But today was a typical day. We stayed home most of it. The only thing we did was Friday night karate for Slugger. He does so good when he tries. Some days he just doesn't care. But what was really funny for me tonight was while Slugger and I were on the couch playing the wii, he said he wanted to play this level. Well I picked a different level. The words that came out of his mouth cracked me up. He actually said "Mom, I said it in English!" Like there was any other language for him to say it in. Now keep in mind my husband does speak Spanish and I do speak a little bit of Spanish, not even enough to say I speak it really, but we don't speak it around him. So where would he have gotten this from. Oh my! I know all he really wants to do is grow up and all I really want him to do is grown down. Can he do that? Can he stop growing and just stay 4 forever? I will miss the funny things he says. I don't want my little boy to grow up! So I guess now that that is decided, he will stay 4. Well at least for another 25 days! Well the kids are in bed and I must go slave away in the kitchen. Goodnight all.
