Awk2theWard Wednesday {Mar 23rd}

- Watching morning cartoons with the kiddies and you look up to see that everyone has left the room. And instead of reaching for the remote, you just sit there because at this point you have invested 20 mins of your life into Handy Manny and you have to find out how he gets the whale off the beach. *PAHH*What thats never happen you? Me either {insert shy look away}.

- See that kid, the cute one above, he is a stinker.

Walking out of Target, he decides that he should throw goldfish out of the cart.

And on this particular day I had park on the other side of world.

Our Target has a gang that hangs in the parking lot.

A gang of loud, obnoxious, and fearless black crows.

Now I find myself running through the parking lot screaming like a banshee and waving my arms in the air, as we get dive boomed.

Picture Alfred Hitchcock's Birds.

Finally to the car and at this point everyone has taken notice of the crazy lady

and now are mesmerized.

I grab Bean and jump in the front seat, turn on the car, spray the windshield wipers, and blast the horn for a good 3 mins until finally on lonely crow is left standing on my hood.

Scared that he might be a look out for the others, I did the fastest load up of bags in history, I am thinking about submitting it to Guinness.

Yep, he is a stinker.

Share your funny.

Pretty please.

My kids build campsites with T.P.

When we decided to have another kiddo, I dreamed of this.

Of being in the kitchen making dinner and taking a peep around the corner to see them playing together.

Setting up Camp Bug and Bean.

I guess they thought that they might be camping a while and needed that much TP.

Bean taking a break from all the heavy lifting. And selecting the tunes for the camp fire.

Bug was the camp leader. "Here brother lay like this..."

And Bean was the camp follower.

And this was the end of my photo session. "Mommy come camping."

And a camping I went.

Smells like new shoes. {Paint Me a Picture Winner}

When I was around 8 or 9 I wanted a pair of high top Converse somethin BAD.

My Step-Mommy knew this.

So before I came for a summer trip to visit, so took her pregger self to the shoe store to get me a pair.

While there the new shoe smell was overwhelming for her.

So much so she got sick.

And she puked in the closest thing to her at the store, an ash tray.

Yes an ash tray in the shoe store.

So thinking about it maybe it was a combo deal.

New shoe smell plus *gag me* cig smoke.

But when I arrived that day, I found a pair of white Converse high tops that

had paint splatters all over them.

I was in love.

I slept in them, for reals straight up slept in them.

So when Buggie got a new pair of dress sandals for my cousin's upcoming wedding and I

found her wanting to wear them the minute she woke up or came home from school, I was not surprised. We do not wear shoes in our house. So this is a treat, until they go outside then thats where they will stay.

Sandals and socks. Sure why not. I did see it in the last J Crew catalog, maybe she saw it too.

She has style. And a ton of personality, just the way I like it.

And of course Bean could not get left behind. I might ruffle some feathers with this one BUT I can not stand dress shoes for little boys. Like CAN NOT stand them. So for the wedding he will be sporting so brown Chucks with his khaki's. So much cooler.

Paint Me a Picture WINNER!

Saturday Morning Snapshot {Mar 19th}

Its saturday morning party time.

Flashing back this weekend to 4 years ago.

This picture is from our trip to South Africa.

Standing in the middle of the Kalahari Desert for a sundowner.

This trip was amazing and I can only hope we go back soon.

Thats if the travel time to get there is cut down by like 18 hrs.

Man thats a long trip.

Linking up with Kim.

Mom in the shot Mar 17th {Back to the Future}

Traditions rock.

I love them.

I love following them and creating new ones.

Here I am at Epcot with my little peeps.

{Bean has the eye lock on Donald}

And here I am again some 26 years earlier.

{on the far right, the LAST time you will ever see me with bangs}

These little peeps are my cousins.

This picture cracks me up.

Look at those skinny boney legs.

I link with Em on Thursdays you should too!

Awk2theWard Wednesday {Mar 16th}

It's Wednesday.

The day when we share the funny moments that make life that much more enjoyable.

- This kid and his shades.

- Thinking it was ok to wear a v-neck shirt and my new VS bra {which has enough

padding to absorb the oil from the gulf spill and exxon valdez} to take Bean to his

Gymboree class. Then getting to class and realizing, DUH, I am going to spend the

next 45 mins bent over flashing all the Dads that came to spend quality time with their kiddos.

Such a hussy.

- Forgetting that 4 year olds take EVERYTHING literal.

Giggling at the look of horror on your daughters face when you tell her to clear the FROG out of her throat.

OR

When your daughter is having trouble getting her words out.

And you think it was ok to say "Oh sweetie, just spit it out."

Two secs later you find yourself with a paper towel wiping up saliva off the kitchen floor.

Me winning parent of year, not happening...

Got something funny.

Lets hear it...

a bunch of winners...
