is this really my home & other bad manners

the boss

has learned a new trick

if you ever felt bad about your dinner table

just watch mine.....

see yours doesn't look so bad now

a few questions i have for myself after watching these video's

when did i stop using bibs ?

when did i stop using plates ?

why aren't i teaching my child to eat with a fork or spoon?

when did "sitting" become optional?

answer

when i had 4 children under 6 years old

is this answer valid.....um i don't know but it seems to be the why

in any case my children as you can tell have a GRAND time at the family dinner table

so when the wives complain to me in 20 years.....i guess i'll just LAUGH

cause that is what CARvAJaL's DO BEST

BOO

Halloween HIT my home

thanks to my

dear mother

who flew in with a couple of halloween decorations in toe

Funny.........TUesDAY

sorry folks

i was having emotional goodbyes..& friend reunions yesterday

so

without further

adieu

a funny thing happened the other day.....

we had the need for some MC Donalds

fries

so we ( the entire clan, grandma, uncles, and the rest)

went thru the drive thru in DT SEattLE

Jaxson was being particularly ......well lets just say

NO NAP..LATE BED TIMES..OVERSTIMULATED..LOTS of SWEETS

i asked him over and over to stay in his seat belt

then finally i said

okay no treat from Mickey D's for you

so i order ( of course i ordered something for him )

and pulled around

as I paid the young man asked

"do you need anything else"

then

from the far back of the car we hear

" SHE HAS ANOTHER KID IN HERE SHE ISN'T GOING TO FEED !!!"

i wasn't embarrassed....nope i was too tired for that

my mom either

we just giggled ourselves to the point of TEARS

yes we laughed until the tears where streaming.....so much so that we couldn't even put two words together for the next MC employee

we, because of our numbers

must travel in two vehicles

upon disembarking said vehicles

Jonathan ( my second bro ) ran up to the car that my mom and i had just vacated

and said

" uuu.....i saw about 5o word of wisdom violations on the way here"
