I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

Fun Finds & Desperate to Find's

This morning as I went downstairs to start making my kids' school lunches, I walked by this on the corner of my island.



I stopped, backed up, and discovered spidey on my flower pitcher. It made me smile.



Since this post is thus titled, guess what I discovered a couple of days ago?



Just so you can get the full scope of how these get lost, this bed post on our bed is level with the top of my EYEBROWS. It's super tall. Our bed is one you have to hoist yourself into. Yes, we love it. It's way cool! However, and I remember this now, I had gone to bed with my rings on, which I hate to do, and had stuck them on the top of the post as I have sometimes done when I am too lazy to get back out of bed. Yes, I am prone to laziness. And since my side of the bed is on the far side of the room and not nearest the door, I don't generally walk over there, until I get into bed at night WITH THE LIGHTS OFF. You can see why I didn't spot them:)



But I am so glad they're found. It's not like I can just go out and get another diamond. It was going to have to be a zirconia, ya know?

And since I didn't get around to posting my kids on the first day of school, here it is. They so love the camera. If one wasn't doing something goofy, then someone else was. This was the best one by a long shot. plus we were in a hurry, but at least it's documented right?

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
