I didn't see this coming!

Jonny and I have been enjoying the Twilight series. John's thinking about reading the books. He feels left out of our conversations and he wants to know why Jonny (who is NOT a reader) has read almost 2000 pages in 2 months.

Jonny will probably finish Breaking Dawn this weekend. He's more excited to see the Twilight movie than I am. I'd like to keep him reading. What should I recommend to him that will keep his attention, but be much more appropriate?

Pretty Girl

Friday night, while I was saying goodbye to my extended family, Micaela was making herself pretty. She helped herself to my long lasting lipstick. You know, the kind that prides itself on not coming off very easily.

My mom said I did something very similar when I was M's age, only I ruined a pillowcase. I told my mom that at least you can just throw out the pillowcase. I can't throw out the girl, I've got to clean her up!

Slip-n-Slide Summer Fun

The kids had fun playing on the slip-n-slide yesterday. It was a refreshing activity for such a hot Saturday afternoon. John even joined in. It was a good physics lesson emphasizing that the greater your mass, the longer you will slide.

Here was the next lesson learned.




We had no idea that a slip-n-slide could cause so much damage. Our next lesson will have to be on lawn restoration. We'll have to get a guest lecturer. Any volunteers?

Sauerkraut

Chris: What's that white stuff, Dad?
Dad: Sauerkraut.
Chris (puzzled): So it's sour and it's crap? (Wondering why Dad is eating it.)
(Mom's trying not to laugh.)
Dad: What?!
Chris: Well you said it's Sourcrap.
(Now Mom is trying to catch her breath from laughing so hard.)
Mom: No, Sauerkraut. (Thinking, Yes Chris you got it right the first time.)
