Becca Boo's Birthday Bash

Have you ever wondered.....what using a black marker as chapstick would look like? Well, unfortunately I don't have a photo of it, but picture the photo below with black marker all over Rachel Claire's lips....yes, she tried this when we were in the car on the way to Target after Tina's one day. I didn't actually realize that she had put two black markers in her purse which she got out and pretended to use as chapstick. I didn't think to tell her to not really use them as chapstick....

And have you ever wondered if it is a bad sign when your child keeps calling you the name of your child's daytime caregiver???? Of course it seems funny to Rachel Claire when she calls me Tina, but when she's done it 5 or 6 times in one week, perhaps I should figure out a way to win the lottery or some other strategy to work less....

I am having a sad moment tonight mourning the passing of my friend and former co-worker Sean Murray. You had to know Sean to know what a special person he was and I missed seeing him these past few years when he dropped out of society. I don't know the circumstances of his death but Sean and his family are definitely in my prayers. We had a lot of special times together. Its not surprising to me that Sean died young but I know its going to be hard on his kids, just like Sean's dad's death was hard on him when he was 18. I hope he is at peace, I will miss him.

On a happier note, here are some photos of our neighbor Becca's birthday party last weekend. Look at all of those party hats!
