and baby makes 6!

Things have been, well, busy here.
Tomorrow Quinn gets his cast off and we will get to see his improved foot. I am a bit nervous, but I am sure it will be fantastic. We are planning on making a day of it, maybe take in some RV shopping and go see [...]

Oh dear Lord, how we love our Mama Mia

My brain is so full of stuff related to RV’s and new trucks that not a witty, coherant post can squeeze out. But I did manage to load some pics to Flickr.
Mama Mia was the belle of the ball in her fall [...]

We might have a few too many ponies, ya think?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!!
Well, maybe not everyone.

Okay, so this is what we have decided….we will be purchasing this tomorrow. (What do you think Kathy?) It is a used one,but it is in IMMACULATE condition. It was cleaner and in better condition than any of the RV’s we saw new at the dealership. It is loaded too. [...]

Here is one trailer we are looking at. We are hoping to get the F321QBS. The price is really high, but we are hoping to find a dealer that can get it for much cheaper than the quotes we have had, or maybe find it used.
That is basically what [...]

I hate to even say it….but, okay, here goes….we are so BUUUUUUSY here! So cliche.
So much going on, and not much time to post and read blogs.
I can say that one of the things we are BUSY with, is researching and deciding which travel trailer we are buying. Yeah! Going [...]

First off, if you don’t read Dooce, todays post is worth catching.
Okay, so Wednesday 3:
1. How many times have you yelled by 10 am? 2
2. How many Brown Recluse spiders have you killed in your bathtub, the very one your kids bathe in, this week? 2
3. How many [...]

A cold front has finally made its way here. The wind is blowing and it is grey and overcast. Pecans and leaves are falling from the trees. I have the air conditioner off and the doors open for the first time in weeks.
Soup is on the menu for tonight, [...]

Cory came home from the creek with this creature yesterday:

After reading this article, it will be having a very short stay at Casa del reptil y anfibio.
Exotics are out numbering the people in this house. Must……..learn……..to say…….NO!
Last night found us all huddled in pitch dark around the Red Eyed frogs habitat watching their [...]

So, we made it through the surgery and Quinn did so great. Thursday night at the hotel, he spiked a low grade fever of 101.2 and, well, you can just imagine how bad I was flipping out. His urticaria had returned a bit on his trunk, and FEVER dammit. His fever lasted [...]

We are home, and trying to get settled in. Quinn is great. Sore, but great. He did not have any complications at all.
As for the surgery and was it successful?…. yes and no. The doc was pleased about some things, and disappointed about others. I will get [...]

The Benadryl worked. It has faded to almost nothing. We are off.
If you would, send up some prayers for Quinn tomorrow morning!

I’ll check back in as soon as I can.
C’ya.

It is almost 1pm. Quinn’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. He was on the list for somewhere between 11-11:30, but one of the kids ahead of him got cancelled, so now we are scheduled for 9-9:30. Quinn is a cranky boy in the morning until he gets some food in his [...]

Oh yes.

Quinn said, “It looks weird. I’m fluffy.”
Fluffy just about says it all.

So, if it is cold, snowy or wet where you live, you might want to skip this.
It was so beautiful at the beach yesterday. It was in the 80’s, water was in the 80’s, and the sun was shining bright. I even wore my triathlon bikini! Not that I looked too [...]

Mia is talking more and more these days. We have little exchanges that are so adorable it just makes me want to eat her up whole.
Todays went like this:
Mia: (tugging on my shirt) Boobie, pleeeeeze.
Me: Okay, but which one. This one or this one?
Mia: ‘Dis one, pleeeeeze
Me: This one?
Mia: Jess, ‘dis one, [...]

No, not a trip to the zoo. We have our own here, thankyouverymuch.
Today it is “clean all the animal cages” day. Our zoo now consists of:
-2 Red Eyed Tree frogs
2-Red Efts
1-Green tree frog
1- container of stinky, nasty crickets to feed the above
1-fish tank
1-cat
1-dog
and 1 monkey, baby
I love animals and it looks [...]

My husband and I argue about the laundry. We don’t have conflict about money, or jealousy. Our disagreements are about cleaning and laundry.
How many of you can say that the following has happened in your house. Raise your hand if you can relate: I walk into the room where my husband is [...]

BOO!

We had such a great time yesterday. Lots of candy eaten, cookies devoured, haunted houses explored and a nice cold front to top off the evening.
As much fun as we had, I have to say that the beginning was rocky….the kids got home from school and were so hyped up it [...]
