(This beautiful photo was shot by my friend Hektiklyfe)Hey! My life was ruined for a few weeks but it's getting back to normal now that I'm not spending hours a day researching and writing and rewriting for school. You would have thought I was taking a full schedule. I think I'm really a perfectionist and the older I get, the more that is true. Today is my first day of relief and relaxation as this morning I turned in my paper and did my oral presentation. I am thrilled to be done and not even half-worried about the final tomorrow.
For this post I will tell you about Raquel and Maxine's birthday bash that happened about a week and a half ago. The party was great. I've never seen Raquel have so much fun. She had lots of kids to play with and couldn't wait to finish opening her presents so she could get back to playing. We had very hot weather that day but Jose installed misters outside to cool us off and they worked quite well. Maxine did not take a nap all day. She, too, was excited. You can see her sleepy face in the picture of her about to eat her cupcake.
Grandma and a bunch of our friends brought food and Jose ended up hiring a taco man so he wouldn't have to BBQ in the heat. A friend I hadn't seen in 13 years showed up with her cute little family. And my sister, Susan, was in town from Virginia. It was a happy day.

And then I took some pictures of myself cleaning up the next morning. Hehe!

looks like it was a nice party! Did they get to use the water toy I sent?
I like your dress!
This was a relaxed party. It was nice to catch up with the other mommies :D Great job! That last picture of you cleaning up is so cute :D
How did your presentation go?
By the way, I'd like to read more blogs about school (Even though that makes it double work) But even 1 paragraph updates would be nice :D
Oh, thanks, Iris! I wasn't sure if people would want to hear about my schooling but after that comment I'll be sure to post more about it. My presentation went well! I got an A+!!!
Sam, the girls got to use the toy after the party. I was SO BUSY at the party I had no time to set it up PLUS it required an air pump which we did not have at the time. I didn't know it was such a big toy!
Schooling & Food. Not necessarily in that order.
i didn't know it was that big either! well, i hope you get it blown up somehow!
what did you do your presentation on?
HEY!!! X) Beaming. Glad you liked that image.
