The BIG 32

In writing this post I am crossing a huge line. I was told by no means am I to let ANYONE know that today is Blaine's birthday. I am not really letting ANYONE know just YOU! whoever you may be and Just in case he just happens to read his email and happens to stumble upon my blog Happy Birthday Hot stuff! WE love you!

Brown all over!

We are at a very memorable part of our lives right now. It just so happens that our kids are now at the age where they each have a best friend that they just can't be apart from. This post is all about Keegan's best friend Hannah.

Hannah is the sweetest kid I know. Hannah is polite, quite and never complains, she is the dream best friend that every mom wants for their child. Keegan and Hannah have been best friends for the last year now and they share a lot in common. Just recently though Malakai has discovered something .... Hannah is Brown and he is white. It all started with a infatuation with her hair. Malakai wanted to touch it and hold it, he couldn't get enough of it. Then this afternoon he realized that she was indeed a different color. "Are you brown?" he asks. Hannah looks at him politely and nods her head. Malakai breaks out into this huge giggle and says "oh, I am white." It didn't stop there though then he continues with "are you brown just on your face or are you brown all over?" At that point all the kids were laughing. Sweet little Hannah just smiled and adds.... "you should see my dad Malakai, he is black." After holding Hannah's hand, touching her cheek and staring immensely at her I think Malakai has found his new best friend I wonder if he knows that Keegan found her first.

You broke my heart!

Let me explain ..... Long, long ago in one of his fits with his brother and sister our sweet Malakai burst into tears and sobbed "you broke my heart." It was sad, it was so cute that we all chuckled and hugged and embraced the moment. Now, months, and months later it is getting so old. Anything we say or do we brake that sweet boys heart. His heart brakes whenever we utter the word "no". His heart breaks when someone else steals his spot at the supper table. His heart even broke this morning when I turned on the light to wake him up for school. It is so overdone that my heart is breaking with annoyance.

A BIT of life......

So, my parents have all our summer trip pictures on their camera and they took it with them on their month long holiday. Needless to say, the part B of my summer will be stalled for at least a month.

Kids are in school and loving it.

Mom and dad are at home on dads set off and loving it.

Ginny starts Irish dancing next Thursday and is just pumped.

Keegan is already telling dad that this year he needs a bumblebee transformer costume (see October posts for last years blackout costume.)

And right now Blaine is sleeping in, Boo the dog is sleeping and all I hear is the click of keys on my keyboard. Ahhhhhhh Septemeber!
