Thumb War....

Cody's mom got these for the boys at Christmas and they have been a hit (sometimes literally). Tonight they set a official thumb war setting, I guess. They had to be a certain length apart and sit on my couch pillows. It was very funny how official it was. Maude came in and wanted to play so Aidan being the nice brother let her win the first war. Then the second one he played like normal. She stomped him! We all got a good laugh. Then I played and lost and lost and lost and lost. So much for my TW title aka Thumb War title.
So there weren't so many guess of what Amanda has talked me and Jennifer into. Thanks to Jennifer and Amanda! We are going to run a 1/2 marathon. Wish us luck to continue to be friends after this... I am really looking forward to the outfits and shoes. Hey you gotta look forward to something and I know it is not going to be running 13 miles. Oh maybe the closeness this will bring to our friendships.;)

What? Who me?

That is what I thought when she asked but then I said "ok." What was I thinking? Why would I commit to something as crazy as this? I thought if I it wrote down maybe I wouldn't back down. I was really excited when our New preacher and his wife arrived, now maybe not so much... I thought they would be a great couple to get people involved. Who knew they were going to make us get involved? We are taking a class called His Needs/Her Needs and now this... Our marriage will have to have this class to survive what she is getting me involved in.
Any Guesses?
Amanda you can't answer or Bruce

no real title for this one...

She is really enjoying her time home with mommy...
Julie (little American doll) met Ahsoka (had to look up spelling on that one) today they had a lovely chat. It is so funny to watch how she makes all the star wars characters nice. Her new favorite movies are Chrissa (American Girl) and Star Wars Clone wars (needs no explanation).
As I am posting this Joshua is running around with a dog bone using it as a microphone singing "eeh eeeh eh All the girls say I am too fly for a white guy eh eeeh eh." Where does he learn these things?

I have no idea, really, why such weird things happen to me. Today I was on my way home and 6 or 7 pigeons yes Huge pigeons landed on the interstate in front of me. My first thought was move to the other lane. Nope nice black chrysler was passing me. #1 rule my dad taught me just hit it don't swerve. Well, I didn't swerve and nailed a huge pigeon it flew up and came down on the black car. Really why do these weird things happen. Who drives down the interstate 70 miles an hour to have pigeons land in front of them, then hit it and it land on the car beside them?

Hmm...

I don't really like New Year's resolutions. I kind of think it sets you up for failure.However I do think about getting a fresh start. My fresh start idea this year is to be more organized and on top of things. But after my daughter just sat down next to me and patted my tummy then asked "Have you been eating jiggly things because your tummy is jiggly..." I may be considering adding sit-ups to my fresh start list.

Bruce and Bambi

You should feel very important and part of the family now. You have made my blog and we are making fun of you. We really just do that to family members. Also I would like to point out this was all my dad's idea I just gave him the venue to harass you.
By the way thanks for helping us move furniture today. I know after this you probably won't help us...

Ahh a day at the spa to relax.....NOT

The guys in my family gave my sister, my mom, Maude and I a day at the spa for Christmas. So we headed out at 8:45 this morning for a day of relaxing. First mistake was not having Maude asleep earlier. She was too excited about going with us for the Girl's Day she could not go to sleep. It was well after 10 before she went to sleep. The spa was wonderful they pampered all of us. Maude had her nails, hair and make-up done. While the 3 of us had massages, mud wraps and some type of jet bath. The jet bath was not too relaxing for me the jets were so strong they kept shooting me out of the tub. We left the spa and that pretty much was the last part of relaxing I had. We went to Pei Wei to eat lunch when Maude had a major melt down. Maude and I had a little talk in the bathroom aka known as getting a spanking. Maude then announced in the bathroom with two other women that I had left a red mark on her and I was not being nice to her. We went out to join my mom and sister lunch was a little rocky but Maude finally settled down and we had a nice lunch. We shopped a little and then headed home. When we pulled up in the driveway Cody was leading Joshua into the house. I knew the look...Joshua was holding his head and there was blood dripping. I will just have to say when the 6 year old is giving directions of what kind of medical treatment he would like to receive...you have been injured way too much. He said he wanted glue not staples or stitches, just glue like when he climbed the palm tree and cut open his leg. Much against my better judgement we listened to him and dermabonded it. He is going strong and never cried about it when we glued it back together. Gotta love boys! I held it together it is getting easier for me every time we glue a kid back together. I didn't mention how it happened big brother tackled him. I think by Cody's description of the play Aidan would have gotten a penalty for horse collar tackle.
As we speak Maude is in giving her dolls a massage.
