Get your Head out of the Gutter....

Well, really, I guess it should be "Get your Face out of the Gutter!!!" A.K.A. "NO NO NO!!!" (screamed by no other than myself). And sadly enough, I remember it being a particularly flustering day, and not having time to shower my now "sludged" child, I did anyways for glaringly OBVIOUS reasons...but I cannot for the life of me remember anything else about the day...so, well, here are the pictures from when my little sweety baby decided to eat gutter guts....SICK....I don't even WANT to know what makes it the color it is....

So, I am not sure what disgusts me more...his face...or inside his mouth!! He was SO UPSET that I would disapprove of his actions, and take him out of the gutter....what kind of a mother am I...Really??!!

Just a little update...

Okay, so the spider was creeping me out too!!

Well, just thought I would check in and say...I'm Back!! I have been away at girls camp, and had such an AWESOME time!! I will be posting something soon, but for now, just know that is where I have been, and what I am still recovering from...!!

Ta Ta!!

All the help I can get!!

Okay, so I am gonna post about something amazing this time! Really! Two things really...one is this...

Or moreover, the absence of!! HA HA...The Discount Queens are holding a giveaway, and all of you knowing how phobic I am, know how much I would LOVE to win this, so I am bloggin' all about it now...so go check it out!!

The second item of business is the whole coupon world that I have entered...it is like the twilight zone...only better, and it isn't creepy...although for me, it is like a whole inner dimensional universe that hasn't existed until now! I am really trying, and with he help of Discount Queens, and a few other people (you know who you are!!) I have actually managed to have some SERIOUS success!!

HOORAY!!!

Last week was my first "real" week, and I was able to get $339 worth of groceries for $66!! Yes, me...!! I know...I am still in shock...but really because I am still confused and trying to continually figure it all out!! I know that it will take a while to learn all of the tricks of the trade, but it is SOOO worth it...and anything worth it, should take perseverance...at least that is what I am telling myself.

Okay, SOOO lastly, if any of you are wanting a shopping buddy, I would love to come with you! Shopping and saving is always fun with a friend!!

Sugar and Spice...

Well, I thought I would post a little something sweet amongst all this spice going on in our life!! I really can't believe that I am old enough to have two kids in school...and they aren't kindergartners anymore!! AHH!! Is it me, or does anyone else feel like they should still be the kid? It is all surreal...!

Moving on....

This is our little first-grader, as she graduated from kindergarten. It really doesn't seem that long ago that I posted about her first day of school...!! Coming up next...PROM...!! Okay, okay...I do have some time, but in reality, these years are going to be the fastest ones! I only hope that I can keep up, and remember to enjoy them all!!

Drop it like it's Hot....

Okay, so apparently song titles make really good Blog titles as well!!

This is what I found my son doing in our front yard one hot afternoon last week...

(Please note the wet rocks...)

Well, just be glad I got the camera by the end of the process...he had his pants at his ankles....I guess the tree was thirsty??? Who knows...my apologies go out to the neighbors, and any un-suspecting drivers that got the full frontal of my three year old...What can I say...it's a boy thing. Could have been worse I guess...he could have been doing the dude in the front yard...but that has NEVER happened here...wink wink...

All in a Day's work...

Let me introduce you to the "Guilty Face"...also known as the "Oh crap, I just got caught Face"...

Yes, this is Parker Lords...the naughty gender confused three year old of the household. This happened one afternoon while the older kids were at school, and Blazer was napping. He was up with his co-conspirator (shown below) playing quietly as he was asked...such a good little boy....only problem was that he was not playing with HIS toys....he was secretly embezzling his sister's belongings. When I went up to peak on them, I saw them hovering over something...make-up...lovely. Oakley's most treasured possesion too!! I swear...what makes my three year old want to look like this...

is beyond me...

At least she is a girl...not sure who applied this masterpiece though...!!

Well, since he knowingly got into his sister's make-up without asking, I decided it was time for a nap. He doesn't always go down right away if I put him in his room, so he was banished to mommy's room where he knew there were no toys to get into, and inevitably he would go to sleep.

Well...that would be on an ordinary day...not THIS day. I put himin our bed, and when I went back up to check to make sure he was sleeping....I found this...




UGH....There goes his brand new shirt!! SERIOUSLY....WHY??? What makes a child think..."Hey, I think I am going to cut my shirt up..."??? and THANK HEAVENS he didn't cut himself in the process!!!



Well, the moral of the story is that kids are NEVER doing what you think they are, and if they are quietly playing or laughing, then something is seriously wrong, and you are in for an UN-pleasant surprise...!!
