Food on vacation.

One of the things I love best about vacation is the food. I think everything tastes better if you don't have to cook it or clean it.

Everything was so fresh. We ate gobs of fruit everyday. I overdosed on guacamole and jicama. Each night the buffet was a different theme. We ate in Joel's section a lot. He was our favorite busboy. He made Jenelle a mouse out of a napkin one night. In the picture he made her a béret on French night. He made her a snail out of a swivel stick on another night. I think Jenelle had a little crush on him. She kept smiling at him. One night we left the camera on the table. Joel tracked us down in the lobby to return it. Great guy. I miss him cleaning for me already.

Jenelle had ice cream every day on vacation. They had so many yummy flavors. It was our vacation special treat. I took her to the doctor last Thursday for a physical for camp. The girl weighed 51lbs. Now that's a lot of ice cream!

Hola!

We're back from Mexico. We had the best trip. It was our typical vacation. A lot of beach time. A lot of fun in the water.

It was a long travel day. We arrived to pouring rain. It rained all night long, but we woke up to a beautiful morning. After breakfast we went straight to the beach. Curt and Jenelle made lots of sand castles this year. They tried something new this year. They made a mermaid one day. She was lots of fun and had many admirers throughout the day. Someone put sunglasses on her and a drink in her hand. The next day they made a crocodile eating a mermaid.

Jenelle seemed to prefer the pool to the ocean again this year. We took her out to the snorkeling spot and she was so nervous. We were way out there and she thought we were going to be pulled out to sea. She did get to see some fish. Again the snorkeling was just amazing. I have my own equipment so it makes it so easy. I don't have to fiddle and try to adjust a new mask every time. I took pictures with an underwater camera. I hope they turn out.

Ready for summer!

There are only 7 more days of school. We are counting them down. Even though I'm not the student, mom is ready to be done. I don't want to fill out any more reading logs! I don't want to be rushing out the door every morning so we're not late! I'm ready to sleep in a little and eat breakfast in my pajamas.

We have been struggling to get to school on time again. I have to monitor Jenelle's every move in the morning. I'll tell her to get dressed. She'll go in her room and play. I'll say come down for breakfast. She'll come down and start jumping rope. I'll say get your shoes on. She'll walk over to her shoes, but then get distracted by something. It's driving me crazy! I would let her be late and get in trouble at school, but most of the time this happens on mornings when I need to be at work at 8am.

I'm sure you'll be reading a post in June about how I can't wait for school to start again. :)
