Camera sprites have taken over

So I pulled everything off of my camera last night and had to giggle at what I found on there. It had been laying on the coffee table and I kept catching one or all of the kids playing with it. I would tell them to put it down and they knew that playing with it was off limits. But that doesn't always stop them.

I find this on the camera. I'll just give it to you in the sequence that I found it. I am not exactly sure who the perpetrator was here, but it made me laugh.







I blame those pesky camera sprites.

Giddy up!!

So it cracks me up that all the movies made lately have been marketed solely to my generation of nostalgic freaks. What with the Dukes of Hazard movie, Transformers the movie and the upcoming GI Joe movie that are completely over the top and action packed , I thought it was high time they did something with a girls toy.

And so I give you My little pony the movie.

This made me giggle until it hurt.

Quote of the day

So Bug and I had some running around to do this afternoon and as I was checking out at a store, I suddenly got a mean craving for some Necco wafers. Now if you don't know what these are, they are a classic candy that has been around forever that sort of tastes like Valentine's sweethearts but less sweet and more chalky. They don't really taste like anything specific, but my Mom always had a roll of them in her purse so I grew a bizarre fondness for them.

When we got out to the car I shared a couple of them with Bug. He doesn't get candy very often so it is a big deal for him. He took a couple bites and then made a face. I asked him what he thought.

His reply...."it tastes like old ladies smell".

That about sums it up. I ate a couple more and concluded that they taste like lilacs and soap.

I still finished off the roll though.

There are starving kids in the world. I couldn't let them go to waste

Must OBEY!!!

Put The Big Red Button on your site

Need some more fiber in your diet?

 

So Sunshine was in going potty and she had been in there for a while so I checked in on her. I opened the door to see her with her teeth sunk into the roll of toilet paper.

????

Me- "What on Earth are you doing?"

Sunshine- "I wanted to see what it tasted like."

Me- "So....what does it taste like?"

Sunshine- "kind of dry"

Me-"yeah that the extra absorbency.Get the TP out of your mouth and finish up."

** A sentence I never though I would utter, but you find yourself saying the weirdest things in parenthood.

It reminded me of a friend of mine that had a 3 year old boy that was potty training. He discovered how to tear his pull up off at the dinner table. Charming. His Dad then yelled "No private parts on the table!"

Sound advise :)

Wait...what?

Ok I know I have the humor of a 12 year old boy, but do you think that maybe someone should have proof read his script?


Just a thought.

Freeze!!!

Ok so I am getting the itch to get some scrap booking done and I am going through some old pictures to have printed up and stumbled onto this.

This was like 2 years ago, but still pretty funny.

This is what happens when you watch the show COPS a lot. I thought Bug would get an appreciation for law enforcement. I guess it worked only to find him cuffing his sister in the back yard over the sandbox. I was laughing so hard when I took this picture I could barely hold the camera still.

Ahhh the chicken and the road....

Ok normally I hate those horrible "cutesy" emails that get passed around. In fact if I usually just delete them if I see that it is just a foreword about how 70 angels will fly and grant wishes if I only send this along to 90 of my closest friends.....blah blah...

But this one actually made me laugh out loud. Which isn't easy to do.

My favorite is Jerry Falwell.

Subject: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

DR. PHIL

:

The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.


OPRAH

:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:

We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road....

ANDERSON?COOPER - CNN:

We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:

Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:

That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:

To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:

Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

GRANDPA:

In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON:

Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

ARISTOTLE:

It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES:

I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:

Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:

I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE:

I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:

Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY?:

Where's my gun?

"Doctor, Doctor, ...it only hurts when I do this...."

This is what happens when you give an extreme animal lover a Doctor's kit for Christmas. I knew it would only be a matter of time before she was giving "jorge" the giraffe CPR.

....Well she checked all his vitals....it was his only option. It was touch and go for a while, but she pulled him through. She is the best in her field.............


So I says Doctor, doctor...I think I'm going crazy....one minute I think I'm a tee pee....the next I think I'm a wigwam. The Doctor says your problem here is you're too tents (tense)

.....wakka wakka.....

Wow!.....No words.....

This is wicked awesome if you know my daughter. She is one of those kids who was just born cool. I very rarely "catch her in the act" of just being a silly kid. She is always composed and and never just acts like a spaz.

But today my husband caught a rare glimpse of her. She was playing with one of her new Christmas toys and singing along to the demo song. But what is funny is she doesn't realize just how loud she is singing. She cracks me up.

Although I think my favorite part here is when she has to take a break in the middle to get a drink. She doesn't want to miss a beat so she stops the music, then resumes like nothing happened. What a nut :)

The good old days weren't always good.

Can I just get an "Amen" for being born when I was? I mean seriously!

Best Halloween house ever!

So there is this house in my in law's neighborhood that we hit every year. The people that live there really know how to decorate in a way that is really spooky and genuinely scary, but not satanic scary. In years past they did a scientific laboratory, alien invasion and mortuary themes. This year it was psycho clowns.

You have to walk into their garage past all these creepy images just to get your candy. They have things like fog machines and mirrors to throw off your perception. Just when you get in there and grab your candy, something jumps out at you. it's really impressive and elaborate for just somebody's house. Plus they use a cast of like 3 or 4 people in on the act.

This is a house we go to each and every year. Bug each year gets just a little closer to going in. But isn't quite there yet. The people that live there remember the kids from year to year and go easy on the little ones.

This year Bug marched right up to the house, which really surprised us considering he's been terrified of most everything these days. What's really cute about the whole thing is he grabs his little sister's hand and drug her in too. repeating over and over like a mantra "Don't be scared, it's not real. Don't be scared it's not real. Don't be scared it's not real."She wasn't too keen on going in. But he wouldn't go in unless she went with him. I offered, but he assured me ...

Bug- "I'm not scared or anything, I just wanted to make sure that she got this whole experience along with me"
Me-"Yeah ok."

So we made it up the driveway and almost into the garage. The garage is where the action is. But he stopped dead in his tracks right in front of the garage door. Where I might add an ax wielding clown was waiting for us right around the corner, ready to distribute candy. (I looked around the corner to see what was waiting.) But I am proud of him for being so brave making it that far. I know that wasn't easy for him. So one small victory in the battle of Bug's fears.

Maybe next year we'll make it into the garage :)

Uhmmmm.....?

Ahh the joys of motherhood.

She thought her nose might get hungry. Her words not mine.......for I have no words for this. Other than ewwwww.


And in case you were wondering....that one got thrown away.

Did you just eat a spider?

My 3 year old , Sunshine has this deep love of all creatures great and small. We have a hard time getting her to keep her hands off of some of God's creatures...like slugs, dead birds and spiders. She has a knack for finding the grossest things on planet Earth to squish around in her hands.

We have a giant hobo spider that has taken up residence in the front corner of the overhang on our front porch. One day Sunshine asked my husband if that spider had a name. He thought about it for a second and then decided that "Paul" was the perfect name for a spider. Well....that name stuck. Now all spiders ARE Paul. She doesn't quite "get" that there may be more than one spider in our area. In her mind...they are all the same one that lives on our porch.

So today at lunch, Sunshine and Peanut were eating their perfectly crafted PB&J, while I was checking some email, as my computer is in the dining room. She casually asks...

Sunshine-"Does Paul like Peanut butter?
Me-"Probably, who doesn't like peanut butter?"
Sunshine- "I think I'll share my sandwich with him"
Me-"Uh-huh....(not so much as listening, but more replying to an email)
Sunshine- "I think Paul got stuck in the jelly but he couldn't get loose"
Me- "Uh huh....(click,click,click)
Sunshine- "I'm done can I get down?"

At this time I realize that not a crumb is left on her plate. Then I recall the conversation that I was barely present for........eeeewwwwww!

I then proceed to call my husband and tell him about it. For a quick laugh.

His response....."Ok we need a bird, a cat a dog and a horse..."

I love his warped sense of humor!
