healthier than rootbeer

for some reason,

the cherry seemed healthier than the rootbeer.

kind of like fresca vs. diet coke.

or something...

even scalp massages

by 11:30am brennan had fallen in the pool,
pooped on the carpet,
and fallen down the concrete stairs into our apartment.
i went into the pool after him,
fully dressed.
fllip flops and all.

bree and her babies turned us around with cheese pizza and sonic drinks.

thank goodness,

b/c i had given the day an F before noon.
...

family night.

it's all about the kindling, the scout master tells me.

have you ever put a

reese's peanut butter cup in your smore?

you should.

then i was reminded that there was still poo on my carpet.

i was reminded b/c i found poo on max's head.

different from the poo on my carpet.

we still don't know how the poo got on her head.

my vote was dog poo on a blade of grass.

so we spent the late hours shampooing it out.

of the carpet.

max's head was scrubbed.

lotioned.

and combed.

bless her.

and for some reason,

it still feels like we had a great day.

...

from the kirby vacuum shampoo-er manual,

i give you, the funniest manual you've ever read...

"The massage cup provides an invigorating skin or scalp massage. It can also be used to clean the floors of cars."

that was one complete paragraph folks.

kirby.

it does it all.

even scalp massages.

or cleaning the floors of your car.

i tried neither.*

*see picture from earlier today of my backseat.

supreme goddess

after two hours of trying to load my favorite picture of the
supreme goddess for her birthday
this morning, i decided to go with one from her visit after max was born.
i will now be throwing out all of our computers.
bc NONE of them work now.
i am buying a new one.
giving up food, water, and a house to do so.
ok, i'm being dramatic.
why did all of the computers break at the same time???
...
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY WISHES TO GRAMS!!!
at the right bold age of 40, she's looking ravishing!
we hope you have a big piece of yellow cake with choc frosting.
make sure to lick the frosting off of the candles too.
loves from utah.

the state of my backseat.

at some point in the last i don't know when,
the state of the backseat of my car became this.
not that i can really blame the kids.
b.c i'm remembering that in high school my backseat had a similar appearance.
except, instead of dinosaurs and cars,
it was pom poms, glitter, math homework, and megaphones.
do you think i can get the scout master to clean it out for me???
i may have an idea...
more later.
...
ground breaking news!
my tv has not been on since saturday night.
i don't know how,
but it's true.
no one has noticed.
it was not on purpose.
someone give us an award!
...
warm days and cool nights.
we're finally to the part of summer i love.
the part where it's almost fall.
my pumpkin spice candle is already burning.
and it smells fantastic.

luck be a lady

going out makes me love coming home.
i'm so lucky i get to be their mom.

Freaky Friday the 13th: The Emily's

8 Hours.

hijacking: it's too good to be bad.

i have hijacked the scout master's laptop today.
glory be:-)
...
why is it that i can eat the unhealthy stuff,
but when it comes to my kids,
i'm all, "oh no, you shouldn't, it's not healthy."
i still let them eat it.
but it just seems more unhealthy to give it to them than us.
"the grown-ups."
well, him.
all max has had other than mush and oatmeal is a few licks of a cherry Popsicle.
it's okay for me to have a handful of m&m's at breakfast, but not my child!
well, this is what my brain has been trained to think.
but isn't it the same thing?
i think it's the same thing.
so maybe it's not so bad.
just not every morning...
like i gave him an ikea bowl of choc chips this morning.
the scout master gave me the "grown up" look.
so i said, "i was going to put them in his pancakes anyway."
but why does it seem worse in the bowl?


there is just something healthy about having this every few months.
it's too good to be bad;-)

Saturday is a special day!!!

Computer date set to be fixed: Saturday night.
Oh happy day!
...
The pork loin has figured out how to navigate our new phones. He goes straight to YouTube and pulls up the movie trailer for toy story 3. Then he watches over and over. For roughly fifteen minutes. Tonight he sat on my kitchen counter as I made enchiladas doing it. He also sprinkled cheddar cheese on my raw tortillas. While wearing a doctor's coat and a stethoscope. We finally at dinner at 7:45, and i vowed to never start making dinner at 6:30pm ever again. We double teamed the kids and will now collapse.
I miss my pictures.
The end.

Plug my ears

I woke up this morning, and the scout master told me I sleep with my ears plugged. I said "no duh, I sleep with ear plugs." (since freshmen year in the dorms.) he said, "I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I took a picture." so I said, "you did?!?" and he said, "no, but I knew I should have bc I knew you weren't going to believe me." I said, "you're right." dr. Scout master has now vowed to sleep with his phone by the bed to catch me sleeping with my ears plugged with my fingers. I am an unbeliever. Then I went to turn my computer on and remembered it was broken. I hope my brother in law gets back from the jungle soon to fix it. What shall I make him to bribe him to fix it?

Broken

My computer is broken. Can you fix it?? I am sad:-(
