HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!

No No Power Ranger....

Luke wanted a Power Ranger today....I told him he could get a 6.99 one....but he wanted the one that cost 16.99....I said...no

He then told me that he wanted to call Grandpa....hmmm...to buy the 16.99 one?

He said he wanted to call him because I wasn't listening to him....

Luke said to me....

"Mommy you have a moustache....you look like a man".......hmmmmm

Luke......

I hope those are clean....

"see my hat, mom".......

where are all the tools...

we just found this on the floor....

there is a phone number on it that says....

For parts and service call 1-800-248-6657

thought for the day....

I can't guarantee I'll have a thought for tomorrow...

at work this weekend....

I was in the dining hall helping a senior lady with dementia sit down at a table for breakfast. She looked around at the other couple of senior ladies asleep in their chairs and to the one next to her she said sweetly "Hello, Mother"....I wish I could have stayed longer and watched what happened...

It was sweet that in her mind this morning, she was going to have breakfast with her Mother.

Daddy's baby

pill bug head....

he was walking around with it on his head....bumping into me...




then he flipped it up...and then posed for this picture..

Thank you, Katie....

WOW...I opened my present but didn't get to look at it...(I don't remember why and lost it all in aobut 3 minutes) so I didn't get to see it...Well I just found it up by Jake's room ( I must have left it up there while giving him his present...It is so cute...you did such a great job and all pictures from here...THank Thanks Thanks Thanks.....

Do you know someone named Betty...?

I know 2 wonderful ladies named Betty! I was wondering if everyone named Betty was nice...?

This morning at work I met a Betty, who was just the nicest beautiful(est) person I have ever met! I hope someday I can be like her...

Her name was actually Elizabeth...I wonder what Liza would think if I started calling her Betty..?Because Betty's are the nicest....!

You know it is a good present when....

it comes with a warning....


apology accepted...

Our life just wasn't quite complete...

Isn't there a children's book about everything?

or close to it? I thought there couldn't be a children's book about a squirrel that eats pumpkin could there?

So I googled "Squirrel pumpkin children book" and this is what popped up..

A red flag goes up....

when the twins shut a door...whether it is my bedroom door or bathroom door...I know that they are planning something...


Yesterday, Luke shut the bathroom door..My first thought was "hmmm, I guess he wants some privacy"....but soon I heard "PSSSSSS" ...but not the usual PSSSSS....but with more of an aerosol sound...

I asked him what he was doing and he said he was cleaning the toilet...."wow, that's great!?" Too bad it was with hairspray!..... but he wants to work ....that is what counts....right?!



hmmm...he did want to clean after eating the magic apple...

Squirrels eat.....

lettuce

sweet potato (okay, this is actually a prairie dog)

peanut butter

pizza....why not pumpkin?

To scare away the carolers.....

This is what you see right now as you walk up to our house...yikes...It is funny how I become desensitized about such things..(don't sweat the small stuff, right?)

We have received several plates of wonderful cookies and I can imagine what people think....Halloween is over, people!!!

I have to say..."I did the dishes, who's going to throw the pumpkins away"...?

Too bad the squirrels don't eat pumpkin, they would have been gone along time ago...we have lots of squirrels!

The holidays are just not the same...

without a little Twisted Sister

(do I have to say I am kidding...should I say I am kidding?) I don't know if I am kidding...

This week has turned into crazy relative week...

back to square one again..will it ever end?

Car Cookies...

I forgot to bring in some cookies from the car....but have realized how wonderful it is to have them there....I think I may gain 5 pounds...
