Leaf Me Alone

*Thank you Shelia for your fantastic blog title entry:D


We found this huge leaf the other day. The kiddos have been fighting over it.

 It's like gigantic;D
 GH fell asleep on the floor. So Cutie Pie decided that she should put the tent up over him. I'm sure a blanket would have been good enough. But, Cutie Pie is all about going above and beyond when it comes to spoiling her brothers.
 Big Dog has been taking his posse of stuffed animal friends everywhere with him. The other day he shooed them out of the house like we do with the kiddos. It was pretty cute. But, these animal friends drive me crazy. I'm constantly throwing them in the washer because they are filthy. They also bring  more leaves and dirt into the house than all the kiddos put together. My kitchen is never clean and my sanity is hanging by a string. But, Big Dog is having a good time;D

My lame attempt at a blog post

I took some fairly cute pictures of the boys playing in the leaves. When I get a new USB cord thingy I will try to download the pictures again. The boys aren't great at making piles of leaves. Most of the pictures are of the boys taking leaves away from the pile. GH is the worst (or maybe the best at taking leaves away from the pile).
**********************
Big Dog might not pose for cute photos in the leaves anymore (After all, he is five years old. Laying in leaves or throwing them in the air is sooooo immature). But, he will threaten to throw my piles of coupons in the air. I was sorting several hundred coupons when he came to the table and asked to throw them in the air. I almost had a heart attack. Not just because he doesn't talk much. But, also because I was terrified of resorting;D

***************************

Cutie Pie and GH are obsessed with Wild Kratts. They run around the house screaming about activating their animal power suits. It's actually kind of cute.

Exciting news

at least it is to me. One of my favorite tv shows is probably coming back to tv for one more season. Hooray!

preschool is hard

I can't get my photos from my camera to the computer. I know that this seems like a lame excuse to Shelia. But, I really have been trying for a few days. Since I'm obviously not tech savy. I will try my hand at story telling. I'm going to tell a story about a little boy named GH.

Once upon a time there was a little boy named GH. GH always cried when his mother dropped him off at preschool. But, one sunny Tuesday morning GH did not cry. The mom left happy, confident that her son was now mature enough to handle preschool.

The mother ran some errands. When she came back to pick up her son. He looked happy. So the mother was thrilled. Then the teacher informed the mother that GH participated for the first 20 minutes. Then he decided to hide under the table. He screamed and informed the teachers that "Preschools hard". At that moment the mother wished that she was a good actress. That she could act shocked.

Netflix pulled the old bait and switch

I don't have anything kid related to write about today. So I am just going to post about how disappointed I am with Netflix.

Just two days ago I ordered the unlimited streaming and 1 DVD deal. It was just under $10 a month. Sounded like an ok deal to me. Well this morning I get an email saying that the bill would now be $16 a month. So I was a little peeved. Then I see this article about Netflix raising their fees by 60%. At least I'm not the only one who thinks this is a poor business practice.

Help me decide.....

I was getting lunch ready today when I heard a frantic ringing of my doorbell. I rushed to the door thinking something was wrong. There was nothing wrong. Just some young men who must not know how to read my NO SOLICITING sign.  There have been so many door to door sales people in my neighborhood. Each thinks that the NO SOLICITING sign applies to the other sales people.

I don't want to waste these people time. And I don't want them to waste my time either. So I thought I would make another sign to reinforce my NO SOLICITING policy.

Option #1
You are not the exception.

 Option #2 Yes! This really means YOU!
You can vote in the comments section of the blog or on Facebook. Shelia you can vote via email. And since I don't think these are clever/witty. Feel free to offer an alternative sign.

Shelia is probably back from her vacation.....

which means I can't slack on the blogging.

The older kids started their summer classes today. Which left GH home with me. So we went to library story time. GH's pal Tiny Tim was there. Much to my amazement I only had to cue GH a dozen or so times. That is a good day for us;D

After the older kiddos got home we had lunch. Then we went over to the civic center to swim. There was a half dozen teenage girls there. Both of my boys noticed these girls. GH noticed them because they were playing with the civic center pool basketball. For some reason he thinks that this basketball is ours. (I guess the bag of toys I bring isn't quite enough.) So he was screaming at them. His fits are so charming;D Big Dog noticed these girls because Big Dog always notices older girls. The other day when we were getting out of the car at the Childrens Museum Big Dog started following a woman going the opposite direction.

This evening the kiddos played on the sidewalks. I'm amazed at how fast Big Dog goes on the scooters.

The boys are sick.

And I'm wasting time on-line while they watch tv. So far this is my find of the day. The post is just disturbing but the writers comments about the post is hillarious.

Today I face my fears.....

of Princess Beatrice and her ugly royal wedding hat. I seriously get freaked out every time I see this picture.


But, here it is on my blog. I cannot believe anyone would buy that thing....let alone pay $131,279 for it.

For Shelia---b/c I can't think of anything else to post

Shelia--Did you know that today is the last full day before the rapture? Well it is...... according to some guy. And I wanted to know how all my friends were going to spend their last day on Earth. So I logged onto Facebook and asked them. (I know that this is choppy but I don't know how to save a screen then fuzzy stuff out;D I may know all the techincal terms but it doesn't mean I know how to do it:D)

    • Kelly  I guess he missed the verse that says 'no man shall know the day or the hour' And no- he actually thinks the rapture will start
      (yes I said start) at 6pm in Israel and then slowly work around the world rapturing people each hour at 6 in their own time zone
