Cinco de Mayo

Hola amigos! Toca la guitara y nosotros bailamos! LOL
Translation for the 5th of May. Hello friends! I play guitar and we dance! Makes no sense does is? If you were in my family you would know that it is my funny saying. I shout it and it sounds like I am chewing someone out in another language. Funniest thing happened several years ago when I tried that with some friends at a mexican restaurant and the waiter said "Where?"
There is a major victory in this household! Cora has completely given up purple paci. If you know Cora you know she is more bull headed than her momma here and she has always adored her pacifiers. About a year ago I reduced the usage to only naptime and bedtime....soon it was only bedtime. At well into age 3 now I thought enough was enough! I was sick of it. She always felt the need to go in and get her "fix" as I called it. She would sneak her paci and go suck on it then be done......or she would say she needed a nap when all she really wanted was her PURPLE PACI!
Well, one day we were at the infamous Walmart and she spies a Littlest Pet shop clubhouse and couldn't get it out of her mind. She became fixated on it and I wouldn't let her have it "just because" so I struck a deal. "Give up paci and trade it in for the LPS clubhouse" Would you believe she agreed? I made her go 3 nights without and this afternoon I picked the kids up from Pre-K and we bought the beloved LPS clubhouse.
If only I had a video to capture the look on her face when we walked into the aisle-----her arms opened wide and she snatched that big box off the shelf and said "this is what I want mom!" That little girl was determined to carry her prize all through walmart! It reminded me of an ant that carries items larger than their body size! Priceless.
Avery was very good about sister getting all the glory, but she and Brock got a Disney t-shirt just so it wasn't all about Cora! : )
We came home and spread some mulch, blowed some bubbles and of course played with LPS!
Brock got shorted and had no pics today, but check out Avery and Cora.
Also check out my playlist for the blog......I am still new at this, so I don't have the songs in order as I had wanted----just click on a song at the very bottom of the page if you would like to hear another selection. I'll keep messing around when I get time. I'm starting to see why people are so addicted to this blogging thing. It is quite easy too!

Haha, yea it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
In regards to the music... if you want to move them around you have to go back to your account and choose edit/remove tracks or something like that. Then you just click and drag them around. There is also an option somewhere to make it a shuffle and not in order if you want that instead.
Lovin' that you're blogging now. It's so much easier for us to catch up on eachother. :) TTYL...
