We bleed PURPLE!

Four more days and counting until "that boy is mine!" Way to go Mike!!!

My Bucket List

A "Bucket List" went around my office the other day. (For those of you who haven't seen The Bucket List, I highly recommend it. Anyway. ) A Bucket List is a list of things that you're supposed to do before you die - I guess. Luckily I haven't done everything on this list, or else I'd get all nervous. I tweeked a few of the items, because I didn't like leaving so many things left out. Poor left out things.

Welp - Enjoy. Don't ask tooooo many questions.

( x ) Made a date go blind
( x ) Skipped school (with my best friends girl friend. We caught him sunbathing in the backyard. Life’s tough when you’re sick)
( ) Watched someone die (but I went to a Cemetery once)
( x ) Been to Canada. Eh. Long story.
( ) Been to Mexico (it’s pronounced “me`HeeCo”)
( x ) Been to Florida
( x ) Been on a plane (duh. I’ve been to Florida. You can’t drive to an island!)
( x ) Been lost (all my life)

Wake Up, Ryan!

Ryan stayed out way too late with his buddies.

Have you ever seen Snow White? If you've ever had that blessed opportunity, then you KNOW how high that woman can sing. It's like Disney captured the voice-over in a helium cocoon. Anyhow - Meg and Kalli watched it the other day and Megan decided that she would like to try her hand at being Snow White. This is the result...

Disclaimer

Whenever Kalli walks through the kitchen, she ALWAYS checks the garbage can. She'll look for clues that would tell her what treats mom and dad ate last night - what toys we were planning on getting rid of - and most of all, what drawings accidentally got thrown in the trash. (how DOES that happen?)

Well, I guess Kalli got tired of lecturing mom and dad on not throwing away any of her creations, because she put a disclaimer on her latest work of art...



She's learning that this whole "Reading & Spelling" thing has its benefits. Oh ya, you do NOT want to be cross-examined by Kalli after she finds a Twix wrapper in the garbage. There's NO skirting around when candy's involved. I'm planning on her retiring me and Jodie when she's 25. I hear that expert lawyers don't come cheap!
