Forgot to "Show & Tell"

Zak said I forgot to show & tell you all our "new to us" TV. It is way bigger than the other one. This is that one's mother! It is a nice, big TV. The Johnson's called us and said they got a new, flat screen TV, did we want their old one? "Yes"! See the built out shelf on the bottom! Crafted by Kerry.

The Benefits of Hard Work!

I did it - you can SEE the desk!!

So, I (the royal I) put the TV on the desk. How nice for me.

I know I have a lot of pencils and markers.

This Could Be Famous

This is Zak's Football mouth guard.

If he gets to be a famous football player, this could be famous.

Let's wait and see.

About Town With NO Camera!

I was going to Rite Aid and couldn't believe what I saw! I pulled out my phone to use the camera, but saw I had NO battery life left, so no camera. I took good mental notes and drew the picture for you.

Yes, it was a volkswagon bug that pull up in the parking space a bit too far.

I was sorry for the driver, but I found it most entertaining for MY day.

Just Found

Christopher's Christmas List I just don't know what year it is from

It's good reading
Take note of #9

Try, Try Again

Once again, I am cleaning off the kitchen desk. I am close, but I am calling it quits for tonight. I am hoping to put the big TV on it, so the desk will be full, no where for people to put their stuff!

I also shuttled Zak, Quinn and Kylie to the dentist for cleaning this afternoon.

I have only 2 jokes made up by Griffin then Zak:

Griffin: Why did the chicken cross the road?
me: to get to the other side.
Griffin: no, because he peed his pants!! (hear hilarious laughter here from Griffin) (We need a button for that!)

Zak: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Me: because he peed his pants?
Zak: No, because he needed to get to the poop shack that was on the other side of the road! (Hilarious laughter from Zak.) (Button again).

That's it for me.

Hopes for tomorrow:
Kylie to win her first round of soccer playoffs
Kylie to finish sewing her advent calendar - when done, I will post a picture!
Everyone to clean and vacuum their assigned room
See a cleaned off desk!
Put the TV on that desk
make everyone's Christmas List paper

One last item:
I told Zak I would pay him $10 to try out for Chantuers. Dad told him he would add his own $10. Anyone else willing to add to the pot? I totally think Zak could do it! He could vindicate me!

Just Thursday

No pictures, nothing so interesting. We all just did our stuff today.
Me - I did my list. Played Kylie's violin today. Made oatmeal for dinner! I may soon subject you all to a violin rendition, it will sound just like you imagine.
Dad - work
Zak - track, went to his JV football Whoopti-Doo dinner
Quinn - trying to think up things to do instead of homework. He hates graphing lines.
Kylie - soccer practice, homework
Griffin - he did his homework with the accompaniment of whining to go with it.

We will watch Survivor tonight. That will be good.

P.S. Griffin just said he had to go potty....then asked if he could have a point for it.

Excuse My Staring

I did not feel so well today. My leg hurt, my back really hurt. I reminded myself of "little Peggy Ann McKay"

"I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps..."

I finally figured out by the afternoon to take a few pills, (what took me so long!) which I did. They did eventually help me, but in the mean time stuff had to happen.

I went to the grocery store to get ingredients for Tacos for dinner, (they were good). While walking from my car to the store, I noticed a woman's nice, clean, brushed, fixed, enviously styled hair. I just stared at her as she walked from the door out to her car. I finally got a hold of myself and realized I was really staring (it took my mind off my pain). I was embarrassed, so I just blurted out "I really like your hair!" She said, "what"? So I repeated myself, "I like your hair!" She nodded, as you would to a small, odd child. Well, whatever, I continued on into the grocery store, getting in line for the bank to deposit a bit of money for Christopher. The "pretty hair lady" walked up to me and handed me one of those magnetic calendars with her picture on it. I am not sure what she said, she had a heavy chinese accent. I thanked her. It was a tad embarrassing, but kind of funny.

Remember the Highland Oaks Hawk Walk?

Well, today was the day for Kylie and Griffin. I took some pictures for you!
Click on them to really see the ones you want. I couldn't decide.

Guitar Hero World Tour

Sweet Home Alabama is hard to play on this wii game.

Try it. Really.

Besides Guitar Hero, other things were accomplished today:

laundry (lots)

made spaghetti pie for dinner (yummy)

Tanner played with Griffin & Kylie

cleaned stuff

Zak had his first "track" day

Hopefully Steven finished his paper

Christopher shopped for woodworking tools

Quinn did many things for me

Quinn pulled out a shocking turn around and beat Chase at Fantasy Football!

I will be watching Prison Break
