O COCOA!

Recently, I was chatised by my friend for not posting more. I can't help that I am a busy mom of five and when I actually have time to get on the computer I am exhausted. Oh, alright the real truth is that I have been reading some really good books, the I can't put them down sort of books...John Grisham's, The Appeal, which I had a hard time the first go around getting into, but when I picked it up the 2nd time, I carried it around with me, every free moment I was reading. Then I started Elizabeth Noble's "Things I Want My Daughters To Know", a real tear jerker, but well worth the read, well other than the s*x scence, really the author could have been a little less descriptive or left those out all together. I would not recommend this book for anyone who has recently lost a mother or who is still mourning, all you will do is cry.



Back to the title, I wanted to post these pictures of Cruz, this is just a small portion of what I deal with from him from day to day, You think that with five kids I would have had similar experiecnces, but I have to say the mess in the pantry is a 1st and says it all. Just as a side note, I was less than five feet from him when he did this, I was zoned out watching BYU-TV between conference sessions. I heard him laughing, if only i could capture the laugh, the dog was with him and I figured he was laughing at the dog, when I did finally to get off my rear, what a surprise. Like a said the pictures say it all.

Today we had a similar experience while making cookies, Cruz was standing on the chair helping put the ingredients in the bowl and couple of times I caught him as he pulled the lever, to turn it on, all the way to high...just as i looked away he grabbed it and pulled it forward and flour went flying. He was shocked...and the floors had just been cleaned within the hour! I love this kid, especially when he goes running for the hand-held vac to clean up, problem with that is he likes to purposely make messes so he can clean up!
