Be very scared...

...can't see me inside my underwear...

Yeah, that'll do the trick!

Is this really necessary??

My dh bought our dd a new Barbie yesterday.
*
*
*
*
She came with her own pet dog
*
*
*
*
Isn't he cute?
He even comes with his own treats
'Fido want a treat?'
*
*
*
*
*
'Here you go......good boy!'

*
*
*
*

'What's that you say?......you need to go for a walk?'

*
*
*
*
*
You know what's coming next, don't you?
*
*
*
*
*
Perfectly formed, just like Barbie

Lest we think Barbie is unfriendly to the environment, an aqua-colored pooper scooper and matching waste can are included.

Now you've seen everything!

Perfect Form!


We've arrived! Survived a move during the most grueling week of heat this summer. The main house is unpacked and we appear to be settled in. The garage and basement are still full of unpacked boxes but those are mainly dh's toys (i.e. don't expect to see them organized for at least a year).

We love the new neighborhood and even MORE, I'm loving meeting my sister for spur of the moment shopping jaunts and pedicures like the other day. We just keep giggling every time we get together.

Kids begin school in less than two weeks and there is still much to do, but for now, we're just having a little summer fun and enjoying our new digs.

This is a picture of my youngest son who is a natural gymnast. I think he has great form, don't you?

Flavor of the Day.........



Your Icecream Flavour is...Neopolitan!
You aren't satisfied with just one flavor. They say variety is the spice of life and this shines through in your Ice cream of choice! Just don't eat all the chocolate and leave the strawberry and vanilla behind!
What is your Icecream Flavour?

Boxes and Poxes....

We're getting increasingly buried in boxes. The countdown to moving is now 5 days to moving truck and 6 days to closing and actual move-in!!!

We're making progress, and after today, the kitchen will be officially 'closed', eating only from disposable stuff.

So, N2 approached me yesterday and we had an interesting conversation. It went something like this:

N2: What's this spot?
me: What spot?
N2: This one (pointing to his neck)
me: dunno, does it itch at all?
N2: No.............none of them itch...
me: NONE of them?????

N2 proceeds to show off his chest which was harboring about 8-10 Chicken pox!!! He was in denial for a day, telling me he's too old for pox LOL (he's 10).

Today they've progressed into full blown POXES. He's got a fever and they are in his mouth and throat. We've dotted him with Calamine lotion, bathed him in oatmeal, and gargled him in Benadryl. He's bummed he can't attend the last week of summer day camp with his brother and sister. I won't embarrass him here with pictures but he resembles something like this....
