Wordless Wednesday: Rockin'

I was feeling nostalgic this week. This video is a bit old but I felt that it was perfect for Wordless Wednesday, because after you watch it you will be speechless.

I lied, I guess this does seem to need a word or two. The bike helmet- no I have no idea why she was wearing it.

Now dry your eyes from laughing so hard at my children and watch it again. It's even funnier the second time through.

PS- 10 points to whoever can name that tune.

Photo Scavenger Hunt: August

I have to admit that this Photo Hunt was a bit of a challenge for me. You see I know absolutely nothing about photography. The following pictures don't give justice to the hours that it took to capture one picture that was half way decent for each category. I learned a lot through this challenge. I found myself looking at the world through the lens of the camera every day. It was great! If you would like to join Kristi for her next photo hunt click on the emblem above!
Thanks Kristi!!!!

Sunday Funnies: Consideration

Halloween starts early at our house. I know, I know it's not even September! But I'm in charge of organizing the Halloween Carnival for my kids' school. So anything that I want to do for our own personal Halloween night excursion needs to be done and over with before September 3rd or there just isn't time, and I think my kids would be in tears if on Halloween morning they had to show up at school in their skivvies!

So with that in mind...

Earlier in the week my girls spent long hours on the computer shopping for the perfect Halloween Costume. My oldest decided that everyone needed a great vampire outfit. She shopped and shopped and shopped until she found the perfect Regal Vampire costume that insured her "bite was a royal pain."

Next my middle child hopped on my lap and we started surfing through page after page of costumes. She still hasn't committed to anything yet. But time's a tickin' she better hurry!

Last my youngest crawled up and curled up into a comfy position and we browsed through the same pictures, again.

Well at three years she quite likes animals and gravitated to the cute cuddly costumes. She decided that she wanted to be a puddle (poodle).

But the shopping didn't stop there. She shopped for her 2 sisters, her dad and she found a cute little something for me. "Ooh mommy, that's pretty!" She said as she pointed to the above picture. "That's what you should be."

As I looked at the picture I was positive that the only person that would actually want to see me in something like that would be my husband. And I think that even he would be embarrassed.

I was so appalled with the costumes that these websites are considering appropriate for teenagers and adults!

And to the people that actually purchase these outfits- does all common courtesy for the eyes that have to look at you go flying helplessly over the highway bypass and get run over by three 16 wheelers on October 31st? Would you seriously consider wearing that any other day of the year?

I mean come on. Look at yourself in the mirror before you leave the house in the morning and make sure that your cottage cheese isn't sliding out past the hem of that tiny little thing you call a costume.




Ok, I know that was a bit harsh, the reason: Last year at the ELEMENTARY school carnival I invited EVERYONE to feel free to dress up. I later regretted this decision when SEVERAL of the moms showed up with their @$$e$ hanging down below their itsy bitsy, teeny weenie, yellow polka dot- bar tavern wench costumes. I saw several of the older boys in school pointing and laughing at one said mother which of course made said mother's daughter cry. Have a little consideration for your poor children when you choose to clad yourselves on that wondrous of all days!

Ok, I just stepped off my high horse and I promise that I will not ascend to the hairy throne again.

Photo Hunt: Surprise!

My entry this week is perhaps not the most fantastic picture. I promise that there is a surprise lurking somewhere in there. And no it's not rodents, cockroaches or termites. Hallelujah!

We found this little surprise after our local furniture store loaded in our new bedroom furniture. I admit that my bedroom isn't the biggest, but really, did you HAVE to put the doorknob through the wall!

Sorry my nephew's cake seems to keep popping up in posts. And it really isn't one of my better one's. It was made with cream cheese filling and his party was on a very hot day. By the time we got the cake to the party the filling had melted and it looked more like a cricket bat than a baseball bat. Oh, well I tried.
