Timers...

We set a lot of timers at our house. Timers for the bikes, the toys, the I-have-to-have-it-now-and-my-brother-won't-give-it-to-me items. The only problem we sometimes have is for how long to set the timer. One of those situations happened today, but I found it pretty amusing. Abby had a friend over, and they both wanted to the bike, so we let the friend go first and then it was Abby's turn. Then the conversation went like this:

Friend: Mrs. Barquero, can you set the timer for 5 minutes until it's my turn again?
Abby: Mom, can you set the timer for 10 minutes instead?
Mom: Okay but then you'll have to wait 10 minutes for your next turn.
Abby: Long pause.
Mom, can you set the timer for 5 minutes?

Instant resolution.

Aaahhhh!

Okay, so I've tried to upload those pictures underneath like three times, and I don't know why they're not showing up!!! Any suggestions anyone?
I'm taking Abby and Braelyn and Ashlyn to Magic mountain today - should be fun just the three of them together!

Buzz Cut

Well, we went ahead and did it! Check out the picture on the right! I've never buzzed Jack's hair before, and he looks so cute!!!!!! I should have done it sooner... :)

Back to Blogging

Okay, so I took a sabbatical from the blogging just because I was frustrated with the time it took to do pictures on our new laptop. Should be easier, right? Nothing ever goes according to plan in this world. So, I think I'm back on track, and can start sharing pictures and wonderful stories about life in the Barquero home. My children's exploits have gone too long unnoticed by the outside world, or at least by relatives that care about them! And dear friends as well!!! Last year about this time, I was chasing the scary lizard that lived by my mailbox out of his home in my bushes. Good times. We don't have any lizards this year, praise the Lord, or actually any other slithery creatures that I know of, so my spring has been a little less eventful. :) We'll see what the summer holds...
