Who Would've Thought... (Funny Video-pause the music before you hit play)

That my little fire cracker would be afraid of bugs??? LOL This is a new thing. Not sure where it came from, but anything she finds on the floor that moves, that she thinks can possibly be a bug, she's freaking out about it. If you hear her say "OH NO!" with a perplexed look on her face, you can bet she's found something that resembles a bug. She freaked out the other day because she thought a piece of lint was a bug! So, tonight there was a spider crawling around on the floor. She wouldn't go near it. She even wanted the dog to eat it LOL If you listen close, you can hear her say at the end that the bug is scaring her LOL

You'll be happy to know the spider met it's demise and is currently forever sleeping in our garbage can (where she instructed me to put it several times after she couldn't convince the dog to eat it LOL)

A Brag About My Baby!

I got an email from Jake's teacher today. Apparently my boy set a great example for the new kid in class today (while the other boys showed what NOT to do lol) I am so proud of Jake for not going with the flow and actually doing the right thing (he tends to go with whoever is being the craziest lol) Good Job, Baby!!!

Sunday-A View From A Window...

Boy I'm going to miss this when our house sells...

Saturday-Send Good Growing Thoughts To My Poor Lil Plant

Ok, before you think I'm completely crazy (or rather, even more crazy than I already am) let me give you a little back story on this plant. When I had Jake, my mother in law (Thanks Mom!) gave me a basket with 6 plants in it. I lovingly put all the plants into their own separate pots and nurtured them till they all died, 1 by 1-EXCEPT THIS ONE! (this one even managed to make the trip across country!)

So, I had it in one of those planters that you pour the water in the bottom, and the string supposedly brings the water to the plant. Well, it was working for a long time, then, just in the past couple of weeks, I've noticed my poor plant dying (and before you ask, YES, I was watering it!!). You can't really tell by this picture below, but it's all dry and breaking off (and out of the little stock holes) Here it is before I cleaned her up:

and this is my poor plant now, after giving her new soil, a trim, and watering her from the top. Isn't she pathetic?

So, going strictly on sentimental value, I need good growing thoughts/prayers. I was practically in tears trimming the plant up =( I hate being sentimental over stupid things LOL

Tell Me Why...

I left a permanent marker on the stove, of all places, with a toddler in the house? Where did she get those octopus arms from?? Seriously...No pictures, because I was too busy frantically trying to remove said marker from the front of my stove *sigh* This is what happens when I try and go potty in peace.

Redneck Foofs

Cowgirl hat? Check
Overalls? Check
Guitar? Check

All she needs is a plaid shirt and her cowgirl boots, and she's ready to go!!

Monkey See, Monkey Do...

In this case, not such a bad thing! Jake was doing his reading tonight, so Liv went and got one of her books and started "reading" (of course, its an all about horses book) He's reading out loud, she's trying to "read" over him LOL. Then she got tired of it, and decided to put her book down and let Jake read to her! (Jake checked out a Blues Clues Book-He said he wanted an easy book this time LOL)
