And, it's Cinco de Mayo. Yay, Mexico! Here's the scoop on the Cinco de Mayo party we were looking forward to on Saturday...
- Great food! Especially the enchiladas and beans, beans, beans. We were a reckless bunch, we Rollins', and a LOT of beans were consumed. Some of us are still exhibiting signs, much to the dismay of the others of us.
- Awesome place. The Marines have a very cool courtyard, but a kind of ugly house. We weren't in the house, so we'll just rate the courtyard. Awesome.
- Super friendly kitty. Not even high pitched squealing drove him away. Our kind of cat.
- Bran walked smack into a very clean glass door! He was quite surprised. My friend and I were chatting and saw it happen, and I burst out laughing and then immediately felt guilty. I saw that he was fine , so it was okay to appreciate the humor, right? He was pretty confused for a little while, it was really funny! ...that must run in the family. My mom walked through a plate glass door/wall in some airport when she was in her 20s. She was flying from Ireland with some family silver her mom had given her and the airport people practically accused her of stealing it, so she was kind of upset. When she came to after going through the glass, she was speaking German. She still has a scar on her knee. Bran did not speak German, break the glass, pass out, or cut his knee. Other than that, practically the same experience.
- And I hafta add this one! If Z had been responsible for this, I tell you, big trouble. It was me, though, so a whole different story. We're driving home from the party, and we hear a little triumphant "ha ha ha!" right behind us. Not carseat-distance behind us, but right behind us. We both turn as we're zipping down the Rambla, and there's a very pleased little boy, standing behind the center console and leaning forward grinning at us. I totally didn't strap him into his seat all the way and out he wiggled! I got sidetracked with a very important water bottle issue. Horrible mother!! At least I now am extra-paranoid about making sure they're strapped in right.

What a fun evening, and poor Bran, I guess he was used to the glass doors being a little less clean (was that nicely said?). That is a wonderful picture of the children and their mom and the other guy is pretty good looking. Thank you for remembering him. You do a great job on your blog. And you are still in the will. Love, Dad and Mom
oh man you are too funny! roflol!
Bran would never run through my slider door...too many doggy nose prints...sounds fun over there!
Nor my back door,there are dog stuff on one side and litle kid stuff on the inside. Annalyse did that with a mirror when she was 2, I felt so bad that I laughed so hard!
Sounds like you guys like your Mexican food!!! And I was trying to or wanting to have a Cinco de Mayo Baby but I guess he didnt want to!
McKenzie has the same fun w/her car seat. I caught her standing up in it while driving down route 28. She was a little shocked when mom pulled the car over and started chewing her out. She gets no breathing room now when i strap her in. Scarey what they learn to do.
I must admit that I am guilty of laughing out loud at a little boy running (literally) into a sliding glass door...worse part is..it was not my little boy. It was the funniest thing i have ever seen though. I start chuckling just thinking about it. Needless to say, there was no permanent damage to either the boy or the door. I did feel stupid being the only person laughing...I think my Young Women's leader thought there was something wrong with me.
I would have laughed too, I think you're a great mom. My younger brother did that once, we went to a restaurant and they had those side windows next to the door, well he walked right into it! after making sure he was okay (and some laughing) he told us he 'thought it was a little door'!!! we just busted out laughing and have not let him live it down since, everytime we go somewhere with a 'little door' we let him know:)
