Weak Stomaches Beware

My Brother-In-Law (BIL) sent me THIS ARTICLE. Here is just a quote from it:

That ice cream you're eating or the lipstick you're wearing just might contain extract from crushed bugs. On purpose.


It made me sick initially. Then I realized I had been eating crushed bugs for years... oh well. I'll survive. To be honest... I would rather NOT know that a product is using crushed bugs for the coloring. Yuck.

Riddles from Will

There is a blog I try to read fairly often... it is called The Lazy Will. The other day, this 10 year old asked some riddles. I did not know the answers to them... do you? Go on over and show him that adults can figure out riddles (just not this adult).

(and be nice, it is a child's blog)

A Long Day

I must remember that just because I'm at home with the kids, does not mean I can go and do a ton of things. Yesterday wiped me out. Today, you get this little post because I wasn't up to uploading the cute pictures last night, nor look through my humor.

What did we do yesterday? Breakfast with Bou, go to the park, go to music lessons, deal with mortgage companies, builders, movers to get estimates (that didn't show up), get medicine from the pharmacy (which is close to hubby's work but opposite direction of everything else today), water the grass at the new house, feed the children, clean up quick because they wanted to show the house between 6 and 7pm... walk the children and dog... show back up at the house at 6:30pm hoping they had seen the house... throw the boys in the bath, get them out and hear a knock at the door. The people are here to see the house. I'm alone with a 140 pound dog who is friendly, 2 wet naked boys and I look like crap. Oh yes. It was a long day.

Did I mention I was suppose to get Tater a helmet for school? Another long story. I lucked out... my bike helmet seems to fit him. Scary but true. Now is my head small or my child's big?

Lesson in Laundry

When you go to get laundry out of the dryer and move wet laundry over to the dryer, you must do it in two steps. Remove the laundry out of the dryer and take it back in to the family room. Check on children. Then go and move the wet laundry to the dryer. If not... this is what you may see when you get back:

Potty Training Boys

While Tater is potty trained, Tot is not. And my Mom saw THIS on HGTV. That's right. A toddler urinal called Peter Potty. No plumbing required.

I would have loved to have this with Tater if it really would have helped him to learn how to Pee in the potty faster. Besides, it is just too funny. Can you imagine your family and friends going into the bathroom and seeing it?

Wonder if my Hubby would consider getting one for Tot? We could take it on trips! I could take it out in the yard while we are playing! hahahaha. I imagine you all can think of uses for it as well.
