I know it has been a LONG while since I have blogged, but so much has happened today it would not fit on a facebook comment.

As I said, it was not so cold last night when we got here. Even this morning on our way out it was not too bad, but now the weather seems to be moving in.....IT'S COLD!!!!! Then again we do have thin blood.

Thankfully the boys were separated during the flight from Miami to Denver, but Davin ended up sitting next to a boy his age and his family that was quite rowdy (the boy). A good boy, just wound up and of course, D follows along. The antics did not bother the parents, but I ended up leaning across the isle for the whole flight giving D 'the eye' to try to calm them down. I don't think they were annoying anyone but me because they were surrounded by the other family.....but someone had to be the grown-up (mean mommy). I'm not sure what grates on the nerves more, rowdy boys or bickering boys. Which mine were the minute they were reunited.

I do have to say, regardless of how the boys are treating each other, they have been a huge help. The each took care of their own large bag and would take mine if needed. I enjoyed turning around to find the car loaded/unloaded without me even asking. They get their consideration from their daddy. I hope their future wives (many, many years from now) appreciate it. I know I do.

I discovered the level of deprivation we are inflicting on our kids by living in the Caribbean. We spent the day shopping here in Denver and they were so excited about seeing snow that every time they saw a small patch of snow they wanted me to pull over so they could play in it. They got their chance in the parking lot of Chipotle (yummy!). There was a tiny, filthy, black patch of snow that they tromped all over in their new snow boots. Then proceeded to try to make snowballs and throw it at each other. Did I mention the snow was black? Now one set of a very limited wardrobe of winter clothes is now filthy. This was all before I got out of the car......They also tracked the muck into the car and got it all over my LEATHER JACKET!

I also noticed the effect living on a small island is having on my driving. I can't seem to keep my foot on the gas and it was nerve racking driving 75mph! This is coming from a girl who's average speed on the freeway when living in Vegas was 85-90mph!

I do have to add a funny Davin story. While shopping, I was trying on a white jacket and Davin asked if it was like a (men's) suit. I told him it was a bit. So he came over to me and opened the right lapel and looked on the inside lining. He said, "Where is the pocket, Mommy?" Ha! I guess it is not a suit if it does not have the interior pencil pocket :-) I asked him later if he wanted to have dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. He said very seriously, "...but it's Thursday."

Off to join the group in Breckenridge tomorrow!
