Watch and Sing Along

I love the Sound Of Music. Whenever it's on TV, we always sit down as a family and watch it, sing along, and continue singing the songs throughout the following days. I was sent this email of this video on youtube and loved it! I wish I were there to join in.
Watch it.....it'll put a smile on your face!

Oh The Things Children Say.....

So my girls are sharing a bed at the moment, something new for them, and Kaitlyn was getting a little irritated that Eryn was laying on her side facing her and that she was a little too close. Eryn gets all defensive and says "I can't help it, I was born this way!" I start laughing and ask her what she means by that, and she says "I was born laying like this. I have so many baby pictures of me laying on my side! I can't help it!"
It really was a cute funny moment.

Watch This!

Here is a little video that I came across of Kaitlyn playing around on computer. I thought is was pretty funny, I love the ending.....

Annoyed!

This last week a lady came to my door wanting me to register to win a $10,000 gift card to Home Depot. This is how our conversation went-

Lady- Hi, we will be doing a drawing for a $10,000 gift card to Home Depot. What is your name so I can get you registered.

Me- Well wait a minute.....where is this registration going to end up? Am I going to be getting calls from other solicitors...will you be selling my number to other call lists? What exactly is the catch here?

Lady- Oh, no Miss. The only way you would get a call is if your card is drawn. We will not be selling or giving your information to anyone else. There is not catch, we are just holding a drawing and want to get you registered to win.

Me- OK, fine. I give her my name and phone number.

I'm thinking what the heck, we'll see what happens........
Fast forward to yesterday. Phone rings and here is the next conversation-

Man- Jody, this last week someone came to door and registered you in a drawing for a gift card to Home Depot.

Me- Yes, that's right.

Man- Well you didn't win the Home Depot gift card but I'm happy to tell you that you won a $100.00 gas card. We would like to set up a time to deliver this to you. Will you be home Monday or Tuesday?

Me- I'll be home Monday afternoon.

Man- Will you and your husband be there with you?

Me- No. (thinking...I've heard that line before! It's either Rainbow or Kirby wanted to do a demo! And if so...I'm ticked! Or someone is setting up a time to come and either kidnap or rape me in my own home!)

Man- Can we set up a time when you will both be there?

Me- Why does my husband have to be here for you to give me a gas card?

Man- Well, all we ask is that you invite this person in and let them do a demonstration for the Rainbow vacuum. No pressure and after the demo you can get the $100.00 gas card.

Me- Ok- wait a minute here- I specifically asked the lady if I would be getting phone calls wanting to sell something. I asked her what the catch was. And she flat out told me no, no catch. Only a call if you win. (Ok- I won, but there's a catch)

Man- I'm sorry for the miscommunication.

Me- Oh, there was NO miscommunication- she flat out lied to me! And I am so frustrated that you are calling me about this. I've had rainbow demo before- great vacuum, but too expensive for us, and yes there was pressure! You guys are being very deceiving, and I'm not happy about it. Goodbye!

I was so annoyed, my heart was racing. I normally not a confrontational person at all, until I get calls like this...then I'm a feisty little thing. Yes, this is me being feisty....

A Chef in the Making?

Eryn is learning cook, I've taught her a few things to make. A couple of weeks ago she brought home a childrens cook book from the library, and this was the first recipe she made from it. It was delicious, and pretty!

I Like Big Butts and I Can Not Lie

Here are our big butts! The kids love it when I make these Butt Rolls. Although today I let them raise a little too long, and they were HUGE. As I pulled them out of the oven I couldn't resist breaking out in song- which the kids tried to sing along (bad move on my end). Thank goodness they didn't get past the first line!
They were still as delicious as always. We like big butts!
