Pehaps my last entry should have been called “One of Those Weeks”. Continuing my streak of bad luck this week (I didn’t even mention in the previous post that my camera broke again…long sandy story), the rental car had a flat tire when I left work today! Since Enterprise was closed already, I called AAA. (No, I don’t change flat tires. That’s what AAA is for!) Lisa’s husband graciously offered to come, but AAA got there in less than 15 minutes which was great. It could have been better though… As he was changing the tire, I texted Lisa:
Talk about your flat tires!
On a brighter note, I went to
two birthday parties yesterday! The first was for my friend Luciana’s 2 year old daughter Amanda. Luci lives in
São Paulo, Brazil and we’ve been friends since 1991. The
last time I saw her, was the night of my attack in 2002. It was so wonderful to see her and her husband Mateus under much better circumstances! I had not met her children, Amanda and Lucas, and even though they didn’t speak English (and my Portuguese is limited), we became fast friends!
Lucas and I spoke the language of peek a boo!
And soon we were melhores amigos!
The birthday girl with mamã…
and paizinho.
Eu te amo você ama-me

From one pizza party at noon to another at 4:00, LOL. Cole & Tressa’s party was at the pool, and a good time was had by all. The shark cake was a big hit!
Doing the limbo.
This was a $200 cake that Jennifer got for free when a friend of the baker’s called to say they had an extra cake!! The “sand” was brown sugar and the shells were white chocolate.
The rest of the photos can be viewed by clicking the above photo.
Speaking of multiple birthdays…or births…
Diane sent this photo of the boys last night. Isn’t it the greatest?

My God, the cake…it’s….it’s beautiful! *bursts into tears*
Cute snaps!
PS: Your attack in 2002 ???
@wherethefishlives - It was an amazing cake. Tasty too :)
@Dezinerdreams - Long story….I’ll have to tell you some time. I lived to tell about it!!
great pix – except for the image not found ones! since i don’t have a cell, i’d have to change it myself! “your attack”? that cake is aswsome, but $200 – don’t think my kid would ever see one of those unless it was free too – lol. have a better day today. peace, Al
Great pictures as usual! Awww the cake looks fantastic. If I was there id be like ” Hell no sweetheart, its mine, back of BITCH ” to a 2 year old *smirk* Ok I wont be that bad, but I’d do that..well maybe.
Oh by the way, attack in 2002?! Sweety, the attack on the twin towers was in 2001 ( Sarcasm ) .
Many, many cute kids! They are so precious! After looking at those pictures, I forgot about your flat tire. Btw, when are you expecting to have your car back? hehe.
@wherethefishlives - @Dezinerdreams - @pukemeister - @Loltothepower - @stevew918 - Thanks. Do the first photos show up now??
yup
@pukemeister - Thanks! I thought I blogged about the time I woke up in Brazil with a gun in my mouth, but I guess I didn’t. That’s a blog for another day though
You don’t have a cell phone!!??
@Loltothepower - Jin, if that cake was yours it would be a beautiful tropical fish, not a shark!
@stevew918 - Hopefully my car will be ready Friday when I get back home!
you are quite the party hopper. a $200 cake-wow. that barney party really was happenin’ yeah.
great photos
and thank God for those who change tires. they keep the world going.
Flat tire? Lol.
I was going to comment on the last blog you made. The movie outside the house. That seemed fun =)
Ahh… a long bad day always comes back to a good night. ;)
@CareyGLY - They were not visible before. I can see all the txt msg pictures now.
Oh, now I feel sorry for the guy from AAA. He goes to help some guy who is having a bum run of luck out and ends up being checked out and, ultimately, posted on a blog.
Nice shark cake.
too cheap plus i don’t really spend a lot of time on the phone – though as i get older, the wisdom of one grows!
ahhh… brown sugar and ice cream, just the thing to keep the kids quiet and peaceful.
@razzlebash - Thanks. The Barney party was actually at Chuck E Cheese. LOL
The movie night was fun. We’ll have to go when you come to California!
@ALTRUISTICDREAMER - Thanks
@christao408 - Somehow, I don’t think he’ll ever know!
@ElusiveWords - LOL You hit the nail on the head there!
@CareyGLY - Ahaaa!! Yup the pictures show up now! Lisaa!! Btw what attack?!!?!? :O *pry*
Two birthday parties (two cakes) at one day, my friend, you are so lucky!! LOL
Chuck E Cheese is most certainly the kid’s party town. :D
let’s just hope the AAA guy would never have to read your blog ;)
aww!!! luciana is just as i remember her! and i think her kiddos are tooooo cute!! ~beechies
