Well, we took the girls to their very first major league on Sun and had a blast. I think the best part for the girls was the $4.50 snow cones. We enjoyed them too as the girls stayed busy for at least an hour. They were huge. We also reaped the benefits of a highscoring game as we fed our whole family for under $4 at taco bell on Monday- gotta love that.
We had the cutest baby behind us. Who would have thought a baby would have that much fun in a glass of water? I will post some pics of us and said baby in the near future.
We close on our new house tomorrow and will be plenty busy for a few days. Hope to post soon.

Picnic in the Park(ing) Lot
Well Briguy made it home from Reno in one piece and must have overcome his chili pepper poisoning as he was able to stomach at dinner at BWW.
We spent an afternoon at the hotel pool where our children were schooled in the redneck way of life (yes, they are here too) especially at a $40 a night hotel. They were in earshot of a man who was called a di*@ by a disgruntled girlfriend. And the same tatooed man was schooling about 5 children on how to treat others the way they treat you (and not the usual do unto others talk). It went a little like this: treat someone nicely, until they mistreat you and then you can knock out their teeth (which also explains why he was missing a few). But I'm not judging or anything.
But I'm pretty sure my girls had their earmuffs on ( is that how goggles work?) and if not (we decided maybe it was time we retreat back to the serenity of our room.
Briguy and I have become pretty good professional charcoal grillers on our little $10 smoky joe (reminiscent of the 6 weeks we spent at the Residence Inn upon our move to OK in 2005). We grilled out hamburgers in an alcove outside of our room (and since our girls think the only good hamburger comes from MickeyD's) they chose to eat microwave cheese dogs. Briguy and I decided that we would have a picnic on our moving blanket. We were ambushed in the middle of dinner by bigsis and lil'sis who proclaimed "Oh, you and daddy are having a nice date night" and we agreed. Much to bigsis' chagrin we were encouraged by lil'sis to share a kiss, (lil'sis loves our display of affection and big sis thinks its disgusting)- as a matter of fact we were asked to not use pet names such as sweetie or dear in our long distance emailing. Oh what bossy sweeties we have.
Well, 6 more days of being gypsies and bill free!!

Spicy Hubby in Reno
Greetings all.
I don't know what happened to my Hubby but it sounds like the change in elev. has gone to his head and turned him into my relaxi-man (which is what I usually call him on day 2-3 of any vacation (once he can let go of alter ego-Mr. Organized). Love him!!! Alternate reason: way to many brewskies to drink (yay Summer of Beer).
Well he has flown the coop, on a business trip to Reno, and I get the most excited of messages on my new phone (with the hard core rock ring tone picked out by bigsis- wonder when I'll be able to change that un-noticed- Well probably never!!) I'm in charge, I'm in charge. If I say it enough we both may be able to believe it before she graduates college. Anyways, I digress.
His excited message was as follows, " I won the chili pepper eating contest at the hotel (ate 4) and won a $75 gift cert for a steak dinner (which he won't be able to use because he has a banquet tonite) and 2 tix to the Styx concert (which he also won't be able to use as he will be flying back to home sweet home). Wow, sure makes a mama proud. The least he could do is try to sell them off and "show me the $$". We may need it for his future gastritis/ulcers.
Hope to have some pics to send on this one.
Kind of reminds me of his story about winning the best buns contest (in a bar at age 19)- who would do something like that?
Uh oh, loose lips sink ships. Hope he never reads this. Teehee.

Job Fair with Children?
Well it is day 5 in hotel room, with 12 more to go. Did I ever tell you how much bigsis hates sleeping with lil'sis due to her snoring. So I guess that is the only thing that is good about Briguy leaving for a business trip 2 days after we arrived. Lil'sis in the past has woken up to many a slap in the back by bigsis to get her to stop snoring and bigsis has been known to make a bed in a hotel bathtub to be far enough away to fall asleep. Bigsis also slept in a chair for 3 days in a very contorted position, until I told her she may get a kink in her neck- she actually listened (OMG) and slept in the hideway with lil'sis (with her ear plugs of course). But since Briguy is gone, lil'sis has taken to sleeping with me and boy is she a wild sleeper. The bed we are on is like sleeping on plywood, so she fashioned up a full bed of pillows last night and managed to stay on them for like 10 minutes, before I was getting feet in the face, side, etc.
Well today there happens to be a job fair that I want to attend because I have no idea where to get a job. I have to bring the angels since Briguy is gone. I think I have threatened, begged, pleaded for them to be on their absolute best behavior. Do you think they would want to hire me if I had to open up a canofwhoopa*@ on the children right in front of them. Well we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck. I guess it could be a great excuse to stay home and eat bon-bons. Gee Briguy, I don't know why anyone won't hire me. Maybe its because I had to get all PsychoMom with an audience. For some reason, it never looks that bad in my head when it happens at home.

Thanks Sasha
Thanks to my good friend Sasha, I think I will now be on my way to being a blog-addict. One more thing to add to the list: wine drinking, beer drinking (love the Summer of Beer)- thanks Coors(i always tell my girls that nothing comes free but boy was I wrong-bottoms up!) Oh and I digress. I also share the love of trash television viewing (Sasha we were meant to be friends). I miss ya already. Also since we are hotelling it for the next few weeks (in transition for our new move) I have spent the last few evenings reading your WHOLE blog- call me crazy!! But Mr. Sasha is right you should be a comedian, girl you crack me up. Also, we do share an ex love for smokes-sshh don't tell anyone- I also gave them up for my now husband- but if he doesn't behave..... For the purposes of my blog, I will refer to my husband as Briguy, myself as Swee-T, and my girls as bigsis (aka thing 1, drama queen, or bigsh*t, depending on the day) and lil'sis (aka thing 2, ms. sensitive, or littlesh*t, also depending on the day) To borrow from my friend and now blog idol Sasha- don't you judge me!! A new and exciting world awaits...
