Friday Funnies…

October 8, 2010 By 2 Comments

Luke picked out his clothes this morning and I rather love it {and so does he}.  Thankfully it’s a stay at home day.  :-)

Red t-shirt, blue plaid shorts, two different white socks, boots, and since it’s chilly this morning- a windbreaker. He’s a cute little thing, that Luke!

Can you identify this substance above?

A lot of people that read my blog read Dan’s also, so they probably already know! Dan’s getting all the funny stories here lately. J

Here’s the story behind the mystery above.

It’s never dull at our house!!!

Randomness…

October 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Luke had a walking field trip to the Fire station this week. He was being such a bear when I dropped him off at school that I decided that if I went with him on the field trip, he would just whine instead of enjoy himself. His class headed out about 30 minutes before mine, so when I arrived with my class his class was leaving. I snuck a picture of him walking with his buddy as they were headed back to school. It was such a hard decision to not go with him, but I really think he did better without me there. {one of those not so fun mommy choices! :-( }

This is my FAVORITE time of year! Love all things fall, so I’m excited that October. The weather is awesome and it finally feels like fall!!! Hooray!!

I was brave this week and tried a new recipe. I love watching Aarti on Food Network. She has fun recipes that bring Indian spices into familiar American foods. Anyway, I tried her I Ain’t Chicken Chicken. The recipe called for skin-on/bone-in chicken breasts. Well, this is how I typically feel about cooking skin-on/bone-in chicken breasts:

But… the food was delicious! The whole family enjoyed it.  I made the roasted potatoes with it and some pan fried okra.  Yummy!

And last, but definitely not least….this is one of my favorite Daniel writings I have come across! J Love it!

I’m a Little Bit Country…

September 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment

So, I have just realized that I referenced both Randy Travis and Brad Paisley twice last week.

That would be twice EACH.

And only on 3 posts.

Like country music much?

While I love all kinds of music, country is my fav.

Not that I really had to announce that.

I think it was fairly obvious with all of the Brad Paisley quoting I tend to do…

Or the Randy Travis songs we teach our children…

Or the fact that after this post, I will have referenced country music in four posts in a week…

I think I might be a little bit country, what ya’ think?

This and That…

September 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

THIS is a post of randomness, because I can think of nothing to blog about. I had a list of countless blog topics in my head the other the week, and apparently they decided to fly away.


THAT husband of mine wrote the funniest post the other day. It’s funny because things turned out okay. I wanted to blog about it myself, but then he did and did such a good job. Read it here. Hey, the title is “My Head is in the Toilet,” you can’t ask for a much more riveting title than that.

THIS weekend is our anniversary trip. Have I talked about that here before? Ha! Only a lot. I’m excited to get away and have some time alone. <gasp!> And ten years is just a big darn deal to me. J


THAT Brad Paisley song, Anything Like Me, makes me tear up every time I hear it. I just love it!! That little bitty ‘me’ at the end is too sweet.

THIS week is Grandparent’s Week at Daniel’s school and since his grandparents aren’t local and work full time, I went to eat lunch with him. {And I wasn’t the only parent by a long shot}. Do you know that was my first time eating lunch with him at school? I feel awful admitting that. I feel like I should get Bad Mother of the Year or something for never having done that before. I really should do it more often, because pretty soon he will not want me at his school sitting with him.


THAT darn Batcave that we bought Luke for his birthday is about to make me curse. It started an obsession. Ob.ses.sion! We had to take all of his Batman things away for a while, because it was getting to be too much. All consuming. <sigh>

THIS parenting thing can be hard sometimes. With the whole limit setting and life foundation forming and decision making and what not.

THAT list of blog topics better return to me soon…. I don’t like having blog writer’s block. As if I write riveting things on this blog to begin with…

Stream of my thoughts…

  • The kids just started watching Inspector Gadget on Netflix and now I can’t get the ♫ song ♫ out of my head. I loved that show as a kid!

  • I’m thinking we need to fork out the money for a pool membership next summer. These 105° days stuck indoors with two rambunctious boys is for the birds!
  • I’m obsessed with planning our 10th anniversary weekend. I’m not really obsessed, but I want to get it figured out, so I keep coming up with different plans and trying to figure out the best one.  
  • I can’t believe that we got married almost 10 years ago! That’s crazy.

  • I’m a little sad that summer is coming to an end, but I’m really ready for more of a routine.
  • School starts this year on my birthday. How fun.
  • My baby is going to be a second grader. His last year at the Primary school. How on earth?

  • I’ve become one of those old people that can’t believe how fast time is moving.
  • ♫♫Do, do, do, do, do, Inspector Gadget… ♫♫
  • I took D3 to the doctor Friday and he has allergies and she put him on Claritin.
  • Just like both his mom and dad.

  • The doctor told him he was very smart, because he was having a conversation about grass allergies with her.
  • I wonder if he will be a doctor? I wonder what his future will bring?
  • I wonder if I have ADD the way my mind bounces all over the place?
  • I wonder if anyone will actually read a stream of my thoughts?

  • I’m excited to go to the lake and spend some time with my mom next week. And have the boys run around outdoors and swim.
  • I’ve spent half of my weekend reading my book and ignoring the enormous mountain of laundry I need to tackle.
  • How can four people accumulate so much laundry??
  • ♫♫Go Gadget go…♫♫
