I just stumbled upon this site for a school in Bali. It’s called Greenschool.
Surfing lesson, paper making, and drum circle for extracurriculars!
I am in love.
So wish we had something like this here…
My kids would jump up out of bed to go to school.

I’m taking this idea of a 2009 meme from The Farmer’s Daughter.
(Thanks for the idea!)
I restarted my blog in Feb. 2009 on Blogspot, so the blog part will have to start there…
Sort of neat to go back and look at what we’ve done this year. I didn’t realize how many little trips we’d taken in 2009 (Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Orlando, New Orleans, Disneyworld, lots of little in Arkansas trips…) Maybe why this year seemed like so much fun!

On Feelings of Gratitude Many things have been happening around us lately that makes me realize how lucky we are and how grateful I am for the life I have been given.

Chicha de arroz con piña I decided to cut it (pineapple) up and make chicha de arroz con piña while I was at it. This is a frothy, yummy, sweet, drink that instantly brings back memories of shopping on Avenida Central with mom and Meme.
May

Last night we took the kids to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Rep.
I was a little nervous because the youngest hasn’t been to that many plays, but I figured if he could sit through the Nutcracker the 8 or so times he did this year he would probably be fine!
It was so much fun!
The kids enjoyed it (and so did we.)
The newly 5 year old asked me right after the show, “Mommy, can we go again?” This morning he woke up and came up to my room and said “Mommy, can we go see that show today, PLEASE?”
I think I see more theater in our future!

Okay, I did it again. I am making a cake for my goddaughter’s friends’ 16th birthday party!
It’s not just any cake and I am soooo stressing.
It’s an Alice in Wonderland, topsy turvy cake.
Sort of like this:
What was I thinking?
