Viva la Mexico! (& Belize & the Bahamas!)

We're HOME from our cruise!! MUCH needed and MUCH appreciated!! We had a blast, but honestly, 7 days was too long! By day 5 we were really missing the kids and ready to come home! Had they been with us, it probably would have been ok, but we missed them. Don't get me wrong, the break from reality was NIIIICE, but 5 days was plenty! Here are some pics! I did NOT take my work camera with me (also NICE!), so all the photos you see are with my awesome little point and shoot Kodak!!

Blogger isn't being nice and letting me upload photos, so I am going to make a slideshow and link it here shortly!! :)

Peace!

Perspective

Come in. But don’t expect to find all the dishes done; all floors ashine;
Observe the crumpled rug, the toys galore,
The smudgy fingerprinted door,
The little ones we shelter here
Don’t thrive on spotless atmosphere
They’re more inclined to disarray
And the carefree, even messy, play.
Their needs are great, their patience small.
All day I’m at their beck and call
It’s “Mommie come! Mommie see!”
Wiggly worms and red-scraped knee,
Painted pictures, blocks piled high,
My floors unshined, the days go by.
Some future day they flee this nest
And I, at last, will have a rest.
And which really matters more?
A happy child or a polished floor?
