Wii Tip

When playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii, it is important to dress appropriately.

Friday Fun!

Moe has been laughing since finding this:

Look closely and who do you see shooting a basket? Yep, it's Oscar! And he is without the trash can. Moe thought this was hilarious. He keeps asking me if I can believe it! :)

Mimi has been focused on the future etsy store. She wants to sell these:
She thinks 3 for $1.00 is fair. Why envelopes? "Because everybody needs envelopes."
***
I made this with some scrap yarn, a felted sweater, and a vintage button.
I'm thinking it will be a pin?

Kevin got this book at the library:

He and the kids have had the most fun making the things in it and reading the stories. Kevin's advice is to pre-fold before doing with your kids.

Have a great weekend!

Adopt Me!

The cats are weaned. Momma still has some milk, but not much. For the most part, the cats eat kitten food. We are ready to give them out. They are cute and friendly. We will miss them. If we were country dwellers, we would keep them. The kids have enjoyed having them around, and I do think they will be sad to see them go, but the time has come!

So, here is what I will do. Anyone who has ever commented will be entered into a contest! The first 4 drawn will receive a kitten. Cats are tough. They can survive being Fed Exed. I'm joking, of course. ;)

Conversations with Mimi

Mimi: Mommy, how old will you be when I am 34?
Me: 64
Mimi: Wow. Dat's old. You will probably be dead.
Me: I hope not.
Mimi: How old will you be when I am 64?
Me: I will be 94 years old.
Mimi: Wow. Dat's weally old. You will definitely be dead by den(then).

Ugh. I hope she is wrong and I am around to see grandkids and great grandkids!

Fun Stuff

Yes, this is a crocheted deer head mounted to a nice stained piece of wood. We plan on making a huge production when we give this gift....Something about Kevin going hunting, and it just getting back from the taxidermist....And then we will go to the car to get it! :) Good stuff, huh? The felt tongue cracks me up!

This "guuunderbrood" (as pronounced by Moe) house has never really looked much better, but today it finally fully collapsed killing 3 gingerbread men. We grieved over them and then ate them.

Have a wonderful evening.
~Karen

Hmmm. Thanks...I guess.

Today we went on a play date, and all the kids did great. It was one of those relaxing play dates where all the kids find something to do. No fussing, fighting, or crying! AH! :)

Today I finished up some signs. Hope they work in the room, Amanda!

After that I did the Pilates tape. I am getting better. It still hurts during and afterwards. But, I am getting farther in the tape than ever before!!! :)

********

Then I got the mail.....Woo Hoo ! Looks like I got something....What could it be????

Looks like some sort of sample maybe.....


Woo Hoo..what every girl wants....samples of tampons and maxi pads.

Gee...Thanks...I guess.

Have a great Tuesday!

When MON-KEYs attack!!

Yesterday Mimi and I heard "MOMMY!!! MON-KEY!!" repeated over and over...So, we went running into the family room. Moe immediately pointed to the window where we saw:

Not quite a monkey, but there was no convincing Moe. He thinks it is a monkey eating the sunflowers he and Mimi planted. We must have watched this for a half an hour. The little guy would stop eating, pull the leaves out of his mouth, and throw them down. The highlight for Moe was seeing the little guy poo.

Have a great weekend!

Playdates....

Playdates rock! It is so good for my kids because they learn to share. Although we don't always rise to the challenge of being good sharers, I think we do okay. The kids are always so exhausted afterwards and they sleep so well!

Here is what happens when my kids play together:
G.I. Joe in a dress. I swear this is not a staged photo. Mimi and Moe were playing together and I snapped this photo!

On a sad note, Tim Russert has died. He was 58 and had a heart attack. It seems lately I have been thinking more of my own mortality. If you haven't had a physical, GO GET ONE. As I get older, I realize I put things like that off, and I make the assumption all is well. Maybe we need second opinions!
Have a good weekend!

Conversation with Mimi

A conversation with Mimi:

Mimi: Have you ever noticed all people have arms?
Me: Yep
Mimi: Why do bad people have arms?
Me: What do you mean by "bad people"?
Mimi: Like people who steal....They should take their arms away.
Me: Maybe in some countries they do that, but not here.
Mimi: Good. I don't want to move there.
Me: Why?
Mimi: Cause I might want to steal things.
Me: What things?
Mimi: Things I see that I like.

Hmmmm....

Having an older sister....

...means sometimes you get to play with her dress up clothes! :) This picture always makes me smile. And someday Kevin and I will get to blackmail him with it!
Have a good Tuesday!

Mommy bundles me up too much...

ROAR! I'm a lion!!!

You can't make this stuff up!

This was my fortune cookie after my dinner last night. Of course, I couldn't accept that, so I had another one, which read:


I was pleased as punch to see that one, until Kevin said that I would be ready to take on the world after I got that professional help suggested by the first fortune cookie. :) I wonder who writes these and how that first one got through.

Onto even funnier things...

It is great! I happened upon it by accident, and now I am hooked. It has me bringing my camera everywhere in hopes of finding something to submit.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
