Quick Quotes and Quirky Quips

The other day Layne noticed a sticky floor from where Megan had tried to clean up the lemonade she spilled. Megan stated, "Me had an accident." Layne attempted to correct her by saying, "I had an accident." Megan responded..."Me too!". She was thrilled she and her Dad had something in common.:}

The other day we were driving in the van. I'm not sure how the topic came up - but, I asked the kids if they thought we should have another child in our family. The boys simultaneously exclaimed, "YES!". It was 'in stereo' and had an excited ring to it. Megan thought for a couple of seconds and then gave a definite "No". She seemed quite sure of her answer. Rachel didn't answer me - so, I repeated the question. More silence from her side of the car. She eventually let out a very subtle, "blue". I wasn't sure what to make of it - so, I asked her to repeat herself. She then said "Blue" with a little more conviction - still in her cute, little voice. Hmm...still not sure what to make of that one - but it has cracked the boys up ever since.

Wii Fit

Layne gave me a Wii Fit for Mother's Day. I was a bit surprised. It seemed like a lot for a day we usually get showed with homemade gifts from the kids. He said something about a huge sale he couldn't pass up. (That usually means he's been thinking about it for awhile and just found the best deal.) The difference between Layne and I? I would have hid it and saved it for a birthday or Christmas.:} Layne is not one to wait - which also makes it hard to purchase gifts for him. We can get to the day before his birthday and he'll go buy it for himself! What is that about? Why don't you just wait a day so we don't end up having two?:} Anyway!! My real point was...

I LOVE MY NEW WII FIT!! I tried it again today. (Yes, it's taken me awhile to get around to it.) I like the variety and that it starts out where you are and goes from there. I also really like the idea that I can do a few minutes anytime during the day. Thank you Layne!!

White Trash Look

This is our current 'white trash' look. We had a window get broken and we were told it will take a month to replace. Apparently, it takes awhile to custom make a new window. Really?!?!? A month? Hmm...not sure I believe it really takes that long.

I'm sure our neighbors love having the 'spider web' look available to them on a daily basis. I just hope it stays together until the new one comes! Layne was smart enough to tape the bottom - or it would have fallen out already.

Home repair - all it takes is Duct Tape or WD40, right? (Just wish the permanent solution was that simple, quick and inexpensive.)

BORING!

I guess I could try and write about something else besides the weather, being sick or rather it feels like summer or not. Somehow that's just what comes to mind when I have a minute or two to write.

I could be writing about the kids, Father's Day and the adventures we're having.

Summer Daze

I'm still not feeling the summer vibe. Very odd! I've been to Girls' Camp, the kids have been out of school for almost 2 weeks and they have started their classes. Maybe it'll feel more real once I get to experience taking them to their classes and we get outside more. I'm hoping the rain will let us. I'm looking forward to some summer adventures. We also need our routine. Tomorrow we're going to begin learning time and jobs. Hopefully, it'll start feeling like summer before the first month of it is over.:}
