funny - funny...

as promised...here it is....
these are from Billy's birthday; it was 4/26 - we had a nice time celebrating - Quinn loved the candles and was tickled that Billy asked for his "help"...enjoy

can you say "microfiber"?

just wanted to share with you that i am in love w/microfiber cloths for cleaning...Billy's mom was the first to turn me on to these - depending on what you're cleaning - you may not need any cleansers!!! Gotta love that - especially if you're as sensitive to them as i am. i use them to clean my counters/table/chrome/stove/mirrors/glass/bathroom sink/showers - just a bit of water...and presto! shiny clean!!! you know they've gotta be good if you can use them on glass/windows and they leave NO streaks... so just wanted to share this great find with you - some stores sell them for quite a bit, but i just found them at a dollar store...$1 a piece!!! the ones i found said they were "bath/make-up removers" - brought them home, and they're just like the others...

give them a try, i think you'll be very happy, and you'll feel good knowing you're eliminating chemicals!!!!

and not to bore you with only "cleaning" news...the kids are doing great. Quinn, Keira and I spent an hour after dinner playing in the yard - Quinn pushed Keira in her swing - she squeals with delight!!! and Quinn and i chased one another around the yard - his baby laugh has changed into a little boy giggle...

Keira is starting to point at things...she's made an interesting finger choice...yup you guessed it...the middle one!! Quite comical - she coos, looks at you with a big cheeky smile, and gives you the finger!!! heee.....heeee.....we can't stop laughing about it - got a picture of it, just have to upload them and will be sure to post it!!! you'll be tickled!

we're just hoping she doesn't try to point at Father Tom with it Sunday during her baptism...can you imagine???

change of plans...

sorry this is late getting out - but for those of you i haven't spoken w/in Roch. i'm not coming in this week - Billy's work trip was postponed, so we'll be staying here. Probably better w/the baptism being Sunday...
He'll be heading out of town the 14th - so may try to come up then instead.

love you all and will see you soon - xxoo genine

a cute one...

isn't she cute???? played w/a sharp blur technique on this...amazing all the things you can do!

have a few others that i'll post soon, in the meantime, here's a cute story...

billy put quinn to bed yesterday - a tired little guy he was!!! - when he laid him in bed and kissed him he heard him say something about mommy - asked him to repeat it, and he said "have fun with mommy daddy....night-night." little bugger...

for those of you this applies to....GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER!

hee....heee....

xxoo genine

this will make you laugh...

Quinn has been waking up VERY VERY EARLY!! Before 6:30 on some days - not exactly what i'd prefer! Especially b/c my little angel sleeper Keira - sleeps until 8:30 or 9 if i let her!
Anyways - bumped into a parent of a past student today -she has 4 kids. Mentioned Quinn's early wake-ups and she said "my kids learned the number 7 real quick..." she went on to explain that she put a digital clock in their room, taped off the minutes so only the hour was visible. Not sure if she posted a number 7 or not also in their room, but the idea being - if the clock doesn't show a 7...you can't get up yet. So - off to CVS I just ran while Billy was getting him ready for bed. Bought a clock, covered the minutes w/index card, and wrote another 7 on that spot. We explained to him that this was the number 7 - that they matched, then pushed in other hours to show him they weren't matching, and not 7 anymore...2 7's means he can get up. He loves his clock, and was very excited that it got to stay in his room. So, prayers were said, and he was tucked in. We were just in our room, and could hear him chatting to himself; saying something that sounded like 7 - eventually he called Mom - when i popped in, he said "it says 7 mommy - i can get up?" - too smart this little bugger!!! We'll let you know how it works - have a feeling it'll take a few days - but hopefully we can get a bit more rest w/this plan!
xxoo genine

Happy Easter ~

We had a great Easter - starting off w/discovering that the Easter Bunny had stopped by our house as promised, leaving baskets for 2 and goodies! The egg hunt was next - Quinn loved it...
Then we were off to church - didn't get seats, but it was nice to be there - Father Tom blessed both the kids at communion - we really like him and are so glad that he's going to baptize Keira next month. Following mass we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house - had a wonderful brunch - and an amazing dinner!!
Hoping you all had a nice holiday too - xxoo us
