Auntie's comfy couch......

It's been way too long since we spent time with Auntie Shalo (my sister).

Sweetheart, Cookie, Princess Fifi and I had a pleasant visit today...we laughed so much.

It's pure love watching my children interact with their auntie.

There is something so sweet about that bond... that special time

It warms my heart.....

♥♥♥♥♥

We had such a nice visit that it lasted well past the lunch hour. Auntie Shalo asked the girls if they'd like some pizza. Of course my girls gave her an enthusiastic "YES!!!"

So Auntie Shalo called ahead to order for pizza and breadsticks......... yum-o!!

The girls were elated... Thank you Auntie Shalo!

Love you to pieces

As we were making our way back from my sister's house....I decided to take the unfamiliar residential roads. The route I like to call...... Explore Albuquerque.

That's when I came across a curvy street with a beautiful view of downtown Albuquerque.

Stunning!!

I had to stop and focus on this amazing view..... luckily there was zero traffic in that residential area. 

Princess Fifi said, "I feel like I'm somewhere else...like in a dream---looking down from above."

Sweetheart said, "I think this is what helicopters and birds see."

Cookie was sure she could see our GIANT tree in our backyard from here.

Hahaha......Having a great day!!

Uncle and pizza makes everything better.....

I'm still feeling under the weather....

One banana pepper, spinach, olive pizza
and
One olive and mushroom pizza

Lucky for us.....Bam, Sweetheart, Fifi and Cookie have the best Uncle (and I the best brother)
in the WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!
Uncle Ahsker came over to check on us......He knew I was still feeling ill with fever.
He took time away from his day to play, entertain and listen to my little ones and then watched movies on tv with them.
(I never asked him to..... he did it out of the kindness of his heart )
He knew I needed some rest to recover.
It was mind assuring that my little ones had him if they were to need anything.
Uncle Ahsker even took care of lunch by ordered the most delicious pizza.
(so I heard..... my appetite was zilch)
Thank you Uncle Ahsker, you're the BEST

family phone night

Friday Family Fun Night

pizza--salad--grapes

Cookie and Sweetheart hardly think it could be a proper family fun night tonight when Nana isn't here with us. She left yesterday and they miss her already....So I suggested they ring her.
They had a conversation with Nana------over dinner------on the phone....and I think that made everything BETTER.
After they got off the phone....they were smiling, laughing and eating.....they said Nana was missing them too--so it was perfect timing to call!

Now we can officially call tonight Family Fun Night!

Let the fun begin....

frenzied dinner option

I can't believe its Thursday!!
Its been a long week.... *sigh*

This weekend is Bam's Confirmation so there's a bunch of last minute things to be done.
Then next week the final day for filing taxes is approaching.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO......

Uhhh...... I think pizza for dinner is on order for tonight.
Normally we make our own homemade pizza so this is a rarity for us.
So today, we decided to pick up a pizza pie and drinks from (where else) Costco, of course.

Mmmmm.....

While Bam and Fifi are at school today, the babies will come out to play.

My baby girls; Sweetheart, Cookie and I are having our mother-daughter day.

Just as Bam and Fifi did when they too were out of school for parent teacher conference days.

We set out to use those gold coins that Cousin Map gave us.

(click here for gold coins blog)

Usually Chuck E. Cheese is overly crowded with many families, birthday parties and tiny tikes.

Today Sweetheart, Cookie and I enjoyed a very quiet, very empty, Chuck E. Cheese.

It was as if they were only OPEN for us and us ALONE.

The girls played a few games with those token they had.

Their favorites games were those that rewarded them with tickets in which they could redeem for small trinket prizes. But we didn't have time to redeem the tickets today. 

Sweetheart has perfect aim at the ball toss game

The girls and I had fun at Chuck E. Cheese complete with a pizza lunch.
--Green chile was not an option today--
We ordered a cheese pizza but we were given a pepperoni pizza instead.
We didn't have time for another pizza to be prepared.
So we compromised.......

Uh oh.............

Before we knew it, it was time to pick up Bam and Fifi from school.

Fun day full of good times with tons of smiles, laughter and a
 fistful of Chuck E. Cheese prize tickets.........

I feel like a leprechaun or a cheese pizza.....

Look what I found while cleaning up the house today.

Gold Coins

Not real gold coins but gold token coins from Chuck E. Cheese.

These were coins that Cousin Map gave my girls when we attended his daughter, Isabella, birthday party.

I remember the girls were unable to use them because we were in a rush to attend a jump rope show.

Looks like we might be visiting Chuck E. Cheese in the near future.......
