Ooh La La

Paris was wonderful, the weather was perfect and because it's September, tourism was low, so we had a great time.
We left Kaiserslautern at 8 a.m., got to Paris at 12, had lunch, rode the metro to various sites, then headed home at 5 p.m., we arrived back home a little after 9 and slept VERY good.
I have to say, even though I'm very opposed to France when it comes to politics, I do love going to Paris. The energy is wonderful, and there's a lot of beauty in that whole region. This was my 4th visit there, but the other 3 times I went I didn't have kids, so this trip was VERY different from the other times I've gone. (It's not like you can just stop and start playing tonsil hockey everytime the view takes your breath away.)
I'm so glad the boys got a chance to see the "City of Lights", and it was enlightening to see all the sights through their eyes. It really gave me a new perspective. They were also really well behaved and never complained even though we did A LOT of walking. I wish we could afford to go there every weekend!
Unfortunately, the cost of driving there is freaking insane, there are A LOT of toll roads, going there and coming back. With the way the Euro is kicking the Dollars ass, it makes for one expensive, but worth it, drive.

Riding on the Metro

This is what it looks like when you're sitting underneath the Eiffel Tower and you look up.

Garrett was dancing or something when I took this picture.

Garrett took this one. David cracks me up in this one, he doesn't normally look like this.

Waiting for David to bring refreshments to our table. This is taken at a restraunt that's up inside of the Eiffel.

My baby is 7 today!

Here's a few b-day pics. No time to write a whole lot: tomorrow we're heading to Paris!




Thanks Big D for snapping one of me looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Fun Buns

Recently, I found myself driven out of bed due to some unexpected overcrowding. David and I agree that as long as the kids fall asleep in their own beds, it's ok for them to get into bed with us later on, if they should wake up in the middle of the night.
Anyways, both of them ended up with us, and since David's a total bedhog, there wasn't a whole lot of room for the remaining 3 of us on the other half of the mattress. So, I headed over to the living room to finish off the remainder of my REM sleep on the couch.
But first, a picture before being driven out of the bedroom:

My guys
I haven't posted pics of the bunnies in awhile, so here's a few:

It cracks me up when D.D. splays both of her legs out like this, it makes me think she's gonna go flying through the air like Superman at any moment.

Everyone's favorite Siamese bunny nudges her out of the way so he can pose for the camera.

D.D. grooms Dexter to show that there's no hard feelings.

Unknownst to Dexter, D.D. has groomed his mane into this silly, yet carefree windswept look.
*Also: Pics of David's siliconed car will be posted, I just haven't gotten around to taking them yet. I live on the 4th floor, so by the time I get down there and realize I've forgotten to bring the camera, it seems like such a looooong walk to go back up all those stairs again after I've just come down. But, I will get around to it!*
