Funny Friday!!

Kids say the earnest things!!!!

The other day my daughter wanted a shack and asked for a "cumber". (English translation... cucumber).
So knowing she could actually say the right word I decided to play dumb and asked...

"Sydney what is a cumber??"

Sydney only took a few seconds before she reached up to me... crabbed my face and state...

"Mommy listen to me!"
"Look at my mouth...  I say CU-CUM-BER!!!!"

Well lets just say I fell off the couch laughing.
It is these little nuggets of joy that makes everything worth it. Kids really have the ability to lighten the room and your heart with a simple smile or quirky expression. I love hearing her laugh and I love seeing her enjoy life. They really are gifts from God and we must treasure them.

    When my third daughter was three and my second daughter was 5 and my oldest was seven I interviewed them separately and wrote down their answers. It was so interesting to see what they had to say--each of them had such a different perspective. I need to do that again since I've added a fourth and I would love to see how their responses have changed...I feel a new blog post in the making! Thanks for stopping by our blog! It's nice to "meet" you!

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...

When they smile... I smile

Just a gentle tug at the mouth is all it takes, To fill and make your heart break... To see their faces lit up with so much joy, And its them playing that brings smiles.. not a toy. They innocences of just lying in the grass, Makes me just want them to just stay there till the daylight lass... The cool ground beckons them to relax and stay, And there they lay just giggling and they play. What I would give to watch them like this all day, Because their smiles are precious in every way.

She called her 'Gan'

My mother when she was a little girl, was dressed in a crown of flowers, a new dress and shoes and went to throw petals at the feet of her grandmother at the Santa Rosa Festival in Trinidad. You see her grandmother was a Carib Queen and every year they celebrated this Catholic festival in Arima, Trindad. I have never experienced this and though the Carib bloodline is being passed on through me, there is not much I can say about my heritage. In jest I would tell other who ask what I am mixed with, I would say "my people were here first... we did not arrive by boat... we were natives." But I really do not know what that really means. I do not know how to live off the land. In fact I kill all plants and animals that enter my home. I should put a sign ... "Enter at your own risk!" But I do want to understand this particular part of my ancestry. Although I am mixed with Chinese, Spanish, Scottish and Protégées, I have always been curious of the one culture that was h...
