Mommy of the Year

I've been nominated for the Best Mommy of the Year award. Here's why... I have been up for exactly 2 hours. My boys have been up for 3 1/2 hours. They have been playing Lego Star Wars on GameCube for approximately 3 hours. They did take a break to eat their microwaved Jimmy Dean mini sausage muffins. Then quickly returned to the dark side to battle the Emporer. Whatever! Other than open a package, press a few buttons, and pour some milk, all I have done is sit on the computer and talk on the phone.

So, when the award arrives at my house, I will post pictures of it. I'm sure it will be a beauty. But hey, I probably won't answer the door because that would mean getting off the computer.

I have 25 minutes 'til noon. Then I'll officially start my day. I may or may not make lunch, go to Target, and take the boys swimming at my mom's house. We'll see if the eveil computer forces let me go. Man are they strong!!!


While searching for a cute graphic to post I came across this site. Made me laugh. Enjoy!

3 M Day

Mason, Mommy and Marian kept quite busy today. We hit the free 10am show at the movie theater. We tried to see Flushed Away but it was full by the time we got there. So we grabbed some popcorn and a soda/slurpee (yes, even at 10am) and headed in to see Clifford the Big Red Dog. We ventured over to Target after that, where the 3 items I needed quickly turned into 15 items. Funny how that happens! The 3 of us had lunch at Straw Hat Pizza and then came home to play some GameCube (Marian and Mason, not me). When we took Marian home we swam for a bit and Mommy took a nap in the shade while they jumped on the trampoline. Where was Jaxon??? Again, Mr. Socal had plans at his Nani's house. They swam in their pool and went out on the boat. My poor boys. They never have anything fun to do!

Scraptacular Day

I took Jaxon to a Mommy and Me scrapbook class at our local scrapbook store. He always like to scrap and make cards at home so this was perfect for him. His favorite part of the class was using the paper trimmer. He made a summer accordian book that is all set to put photos in. I'm such a proud scrap-momma!

Thank you Marissa for recommending this class for us. We had such a fun time scrappin' with you and Kaleigh!

No Dog Dog-on-it!

We headed out this morning in hopes of adopting Marley, a black lab we found online at the Sacramento SPCA. Unfortunately, he is only suitable for children over 10 years old and we couldn't adopt him. Seems the "you may make the final decision on the behavior of a dog for your family" rule isn't really a rule. His tag said "no exceptions" and that was final. Boo Hoo. So we spent the day searching shelters in Sacramento, thanks to Holly and Tim, but still didn't have any luck. We now know better what we are looking for, so that was a good thing. There were many labs today, just not available for different reasons. So the search for the next addition to the Culcasi household will continue. I see more shelter visits in our near future!And if you know me very well, you will know how big of a deal that is. Ha!

Regardless of coming home empty handed, we still had a great day. We had lunch with Tim and Holly and we even got to see their new house! Well, the model of it, as it won't be built until September!!!! It is adorable and all shiny and new and modern. So perfect for them! So happy for them too!

What's up???

Well I guess I haven't been so good at blogging lately. I'm going to give it my best shot to do it much more often. Today is day four at Pirate camp for Jaxon. He goes from 9am-2pm. So that leaves Mason and I to find things to do to make the time pass quickly before brother comes home. Today we've been home all day and man it it tough!!! Mason get bored easily which means I've had an earfull of whining and boy am I sick of it! Ahhh! So we're off to Carl's Jr. as that is where he prefers to spend some time today. Plus that gives me some time with my scrapbook magaizines. Getting ready to crop tomorrow night with Marissa. That's always fun!!!
Peace out!

Missing Mexico

As the kids fight and whine on this holiday, I can't help but miss our Mixican hide-away a bit. I'll just close my eyes and imagine myself back in this beautiful place.

Back in the USA

We're back from Cancun! Had some travel problems due to the weather, so we spent a day in Dallas unexpectedly. Still trying to recover and get used to CA time. Bags are still packed and pictures still haven't been downloaded. Lots to do. Blog more later.
