the haps

 In between the usual blog posts about projects and boys and life, all kinds of happenings have been going on around here. One of the funnest things was a mysterious package that arrived from Singapore. And look what was inside! A tiny chocolate bar?! Now, why would I have ordered just a few bites of milk chocolate all the way from Singapore? Well.....

 ..... because LOOK! That tiny chocolate bar is actually an 8gb USB flash drive for my computer! HAH!!! Is that the cutest thing or what?! I had so much fun picking it out - but boy, was it hard to choose! I found everything from diet Coke bottles to peace signs to ladybugs... and everything in between (much of which shall not be mentioned here and yes I'm still in shock :-0 )

 So here it is in action, as I'm filling it up with photos to be printed out elsewhere. I *LURVE* my little chocolate bar! AND... look what John got me! A *PINK* silicone keypad to go over my laptop keys! TOO COOL! I've scored big time in fun gadgets :)

 So getting back to all the comings and goings around here... you can see there have been a LOT! And right in the entryway seems to be the place where everything is immediately dumped :/

 One coming/going we were excited about in a bittersweet way, was Davy & John's buddy Darren (far right) leaving to study in SPAIN for 6 months! So I had to sneak in a pic of him on movie night as we were watching Pinnochio... much to Davy's annoyance (hehehe). Have an AMAZING time Darren - we love you! :)

 Now, with all the testosterone around here, you have to realize that things can get competitive. The ping pong games/tournaments/ceremonies we've had over the years are legendary. There has been a LOT of arse-whooping here lately :-0

 Well. You know how picky I am about straws. One terrific thing about adult children who love Wendy's, is that when my supply of straws is low, they are more than happy to replenish it for me!

 Not to mention they will also go to the store for me if my diet Coke supply is down. Looks like we're gonna play Bowling With Coke doesn't it! LOL! I have to stick up for myself though, and say that my diet Coke consumption has gone down a lot, and it's NOT JUST ME who drinks it either! Just sayin!

 And now that the Mouse is back in school, he is back to his favorite pastime during classes... drawing tribal designs on his hand and arm instead of listening intently like he should be :/ A few days ago he came home with his entire ARM covered! The worst part is... I have to admit, it does look really cool :/

Last but certainly never least... my beautiful church girls :) More comings and goings in their lives (and tears in my eyes) as the oldest ones - my precious girls in the back row - leave for college and start their adventures. I know every single one of them will make the world a better place, because that's how awesome they are! I love you ALL! :)

STAY TUNED FOR MORE FUN!
