Redheads Protest Wendy's

This video had me laughing so hard, that I cried. It is sort of along the lines of 'funniest home video' a hilarious staged 'protest' involving about 50 redheads.

Enjoy!

Funny things kids say.. and snakes!

Today, Francis was talking to me about how much his "Gigi" loves mice. And how she HATES snakes so much (Because they eat mice) that she won't come to visit us anymore (Which is NOT true!!) Then, he said "I love mice too. It IS kinda freaky when the mice get killed, though." LOL.

Strikey the snake got 'loose'' last time Gigi was here.

Maybe we will have to find a 'pet sitter' next time she comes?

Have a FUN day, everyone...

The weather here is beautiful, and we are looking forward to enjoying it!

Our Pets

Blast from the past.. OK, this is Patrick's birthday in 2003...

I thought it would be fun to see Strikey (and Patrick) so SMALL! They are both so big now.. see pic...

We also have fish. In case you haven't heard, Peter, the "mighty armed" Peter, (he is 2 and 1/2) threw a matchbox car at our ten gallon tank and put a HOLE in it on Saturday. (Did I already tell you this?) Anyway, I bought a new tank yesterday.. a 20 gallon! I just couldn't resist the opportuniy to get a bigger and better one! LOL! I sure hope I don't regret it!

Michael's First 'Solid' Food!

Michael has been kicking and 'talking' begging for food. So, I tried it out today. You would have thought he was eating cake (raher than nasty oatmeal baby cereal). He loved it! Enjoy the video clips. I was cracking up, He is so cute! (There are 2 seperate ones..)

Peter and Michael

October 2

Hey everyone! I have received SO many birthday greetings today! Thank You!

I have been really busy today. But, I am doing stuff I love, so I can not complain! I got LOTS of gift cards for my birthday.. I can't wait to go shopping!

I think a blog is a great place to write funny things that your kids do/say... or perhaps not so funny! Today I had to buy a new fishtank. This weekend, I was on a cubscout leader training day. I was gone a little over an hour when James finally sat down to eat a bowl of cereal. Moments later, the boys ran to him, "DAD, HURRY! Look at what Peter did!" He went into the living room to find that Peter had thrown a matchbox car at the fish tank and popped a HOLE in it! Oh, yes, fish water. All over the living room (new) PERGO floors! Yikes!

Well, other than trying to establish a new fish tank, and the crazy routine of school, homeschool, carpool, homework and scouts.. things are going well here!

The video of Patrick was very popular, so I have added some here. It is nice for us to be able to play together. My mom and I both play flute (she taught me!) and it is always so cool to have that 'shared interest'.

That's it for today!
