Boys' First Sleepover

We got to have Niko over for a last minute sleepover last night. The boys had played all day in water and sun, so they were very, very ready for bed. I told them a quick story about two superhero boys Super Niko and Super Marco who lived at home with their Mamas. A hush falls over the crowd... out. Niko woke up first and when Marco finally woke up, he looked so sad and said, "The sun already came up for Niko, but I wanted us to wake up together." Sweet boys.Niko asked if they could watch Strawberry Shortcake. And they did. I love a man who isn't afraid to show his softer side.

Party with my mateys.

Rocked a pirate party for Will's 3rd. Marco spoke Spanish to the caterer. Ha. Arrrr!

Yeehaw!

It seems like just yesterday when we brought breakfast burritos to the hospital to meet baby Jack D'Angelo IV, but today we celebrated his first birthday in cowboy style.

Cheers to great friends. (note my Grandpa Graf's belt buckle fashioned to fit Marco!)

It's so hard to say goodbye.

Marco is growing up. He's regularly referring to us as "Dadd" (emphasis on the d) and "Mom." I'm not sure if I'm heartbroken or just pissed.

He's very aware that my name is Mama, so in typical flirt fashion, when he wants something, he turns on the charm. "Can I have it please Mama?" and if he's really laying it on thick, he might even couple it with a snuggle, a kiss and adds, "Please Mama cat."

Joking aside.

Surprisingly, Marco may have to play the straight man unless his humor comes in.

"Marco, why can't dogs drive?"
"Because they're not 16!"


(Correct answer: Because they can't find a barking space.)
