Some weeks the lessons just keep on coming!
So this week I learned that:
1. if your 7 year old son makes up a board game you might find yourself dancing like a chicken, acting like Winnie the Pooh, making the letter H out of playdough and doing the karate chop dance! (Don't ask!)
2. eating buttered popcorn while watching the Winter Olympics can make you feel like a big lazy pig! LOL!
3. doing this search in Google (how do I make holes in the side of my fabric) will lead you to just the thing you need and you'll be excited because you had no idea it existed a few seconds ago and now it's on it's way to your home.
4. Lent isn't just for Catholics like I used to think.
5. after making the decision to take part in Lent and give up, *gulp* chocolate, I noticed that our anniversary is on the same day it starts! Oy! Stupid! LOL! Now that will be a test! (Mental note, try looking at a calendar before you start something!)
6. I made the best biscuits and sausage gravy on the planet for breakfast the other day. I'll be posting it on my cooking blog today!
7. the crinkle of a bag, that may or may not have chocolate in it, will bring your children out of the woodwork, but open up a bag of carrots and you have them allllllll to yourself! Why can't carrots taste like chocolate but still be good for you?
Well that's it for now!

ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteOne can only wonder just what kind of games your kids are dreaming up? They sure sound like a lot of fun!
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
I know!! The Olympics are supposed to inspire us to get up and go...not sit down and eat!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when I'm watching athletes on TV! I'm usually eating some chocolate and feel a sinking feeling while watching "Dancing with the stars". :D
ReplyDeleteHad to crack up about the board game and the bag of chocolate. My oldest can hear a gum wrapper from around the block. LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs,
MImi
Lol! Do you have any idea how much money we would save if google searches weren't so darn easy?? I love your list. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at the made up board game! I would love to watch that game being played. :)
