Fashion

Time to teach him, like I taught his father. Or maybe we will have Gracie teach him a thing or two!



You can see that those are sweat pants, right?

Costco

When mommy and daddy go to Costco for paper towels, what's the best thing to do with them?






I missed the mid run picture.... she was too fast for me!

Disaster Strikes

Pampered Chef Microwave Rice Cooker vs. Me

I think I forgot a cup of water.

J-E-L-L-O

To answer the question of what the surprise REALLY was (not a vacation to Hawaii like Gracie had guessed!).... (drum roll).....it was chocolate pudding!


It was a big thrill for my kids! We don't typically have pudding cups in the house. Poor neglected kids, I know!

Bullet points

Leah has had me hysterical with her stories about her daughter learning about life before technology. You know the days..... card catalogs, typewriters, and computers the size of a Buick.

I guess there is a library in our state capitol that still has a card catalog in the childrens' section in addition to a computer version. I wonder if I would still know how to use one.

Natalie's is "allowed" per her teacher that she can do her spelling word homework on the computer and just print it out to hand in.

A friend of mine was helping her daughter with her homework. She wrote out the word verb and adjective and then numbered the lines below.
After her daughter was done, she asked her mom if she could type it out and put in bullet points.

My friend was a bit stunned when her daughter printed the finished copy, bullet points and all since she isn't quite sure herself how to do it!

Vacation

I told the kids that once they finished dinner I had a surprise for them.

Grace brought her plate in the kitchen to help clean up and asked what their surprise was.

Before I could answer, she started guessing.

"Vacation to Hawaii?"

In her six years, we've gone camping, flown to Arizona to visit my sister and grandparents, flown to D.C for my brother's wedding, and taken a few road trips.

Where in the world did she get Hawaii from?!?!?!

Question and Answer

The answer is

CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE ~ the darker, the better
ICE CREAM especially my men, Ben & Jerry
WINE ~ light, fruity, and cold
LAUGHTER ~ from friends, movies, kids, sister-in-laws

The question?

What do I do when I have had one of THOSE weeks to feel better?


Good thing I posted way in advance because it has been one of those weeks. I was on a roll in postings. Only missed one/two days!

I'm in search of a magic wand on eBay or craigslist in good working order for a reasonable price so, if you see one let me know!
