Life Is Funny: Poor Teddy

By MAD21

My girls were busy playing the other day. It was the kind of fun day when the kids are really getting along and your living room looks like a giant toy box. I was working around the house and at some point I saw our poor Teddy. I'm sure it was part of the play at some point, but then she was forgotten.

I think to myself... ever have one of those days? I guess it's good that it wasn't a house!

Life Is Funny: Not-So-Welcome Surprises

Imagine yourself in your garage, looking for something that rolled under a cabinet, only to find more than what you are looking for. You think to yourself, "What is that?" And then, uuuhh-it moves...

What is worse than finding this:

Is finding THIS...

No worries. We got him out unscathed (him and US). He is now residing in the forest across the street... I hope he stays there...

And... at least it was two feet smaller than the one I found a few weeks ago in our front yard...

Life Is Funny: Levers

I hope you all had a wonderful Father's Day. It was a very sunny and hot day here, so our choices of activities was a little limited. After some discussion about what my hubby wanted to do on his day, we decided to go to a mall that is a little more than an hour away from us. Yes. He chose to go to a mall.

Now, before you take his man-card away, realize that this is a HUGE mall that has some awesome stores in it. One being the Bass Pro Outlet store because it has a fish tank bigger than my living room and dining room combined. But there is one other store that we love going to. And that is the LEGO store.

Life Is Funny: I Like You Because...

By MAD21

My family had a great weekend. We spent all day Saturday swimming and all afternoon Sunday riding horses. It can't get much better than that, especially when the weather is cooperating. It was a wonderful way to start the summer.

We have some friends who we love enough we consider them family. My daughters call them Aunt and Uncle. My daughters were in their oldest daughter's wedding last year. As much as my girls LOVE Aunt K, there is a special connection with Uncle C. Perhaps because at any given moment he is helping them build a cool hiding place, playing with Barbie dolls, wearing giant purple dress-up hats, sneaking them sweets, or tossing them in the pool. For the rest of us it's just fun to watch considering Uncle C is a tall, big guy who is a retired police officer. So to see him playing Barbies or dress-up is, well, hilarious to say the least.

Life Is Funny: It's A Secret

By MAD21

Last Wednesday evening as we were saying our last "good-nights" to our girls, my youngest says to me, "Mommy, I can't wait for tomorrow morning." The next day was my birthday and I wondered if she knew and was up to something. The following is how the rest of the conversation went:

Me: "Why are you excited for tomorrow morning?"

Youngest: "Because I have a surprise."
