What's for breakfast?

Ok, Mom of Dippy, Dingy, & Goofy would be so proud of me. I was listening to XM Kids the other day and heard a funny song. I just happened to find it on You Tube! They have everything. Anyway, so I asked the kids what they wanted for breakfast, and they said "toast". It reminded me of the song I heard. I just stood there and cracked up. This is why:

Can't touch this either

Got an email from Auntie S about the Father's Day commercials that were out this year. I started cracking up when she told me of this one. I saw it too and loved it. I even saved it on the DVR to show hubby when he got home. This one's for you Auntie!

Teen Latin

Or in our case - Pre-teen Latin.

Why is it that when kids get a certain age, everything they say has a sound at the end to indicate attitude? I discovered this a little while back and thought I would share. Maybe you have noticed this as well. Did WE ever have this language? I don't remember responding that way. Maybe my mom can clarify. BB started a while ago with answering questions.

Me: "Why didn't you clean your room like I asked?"

BB: "I don't know-AH!"

Me: "Clean your room."

BB: "Why-AH?"

And so on it goes. Now LB has started to do this. He doesn't say much, but when he hurts himself-or thinks he hurt himself-he is starting to yell "Hurt my toe-AH!". It used to be just "Hurt my toe!" Is he copying his brother or is he just growing into this language that develops with age? I will have to keep a close ear on this.

Is there a special pill or cream out there that can curb these outbreaks? I guess maybe it goes away with time, like an allergy or something. It's a mystery. Maybe there could be a special scientific experiment on this. We could pinpoint the cause and stop it before it develops. Wow, we could have attitude-free children. What would that be like? It could be a kind of Ozzie and Harriet world. hmmm.... I guess that sounds a little boring, huh?

Well since I have been sitting here I realize that it is lunchtime, so I have to go feed the kids now. And I have to go do some laundry-AH. And I don't know why-AH. How come I always get stuck with this-AH?! It's not fair-AH!!

Just curious...

The B's and I just went to the store recently. While I was loading up the groceries in the back, the boys got in the car. I went to take the shopping cart back to the corral and got a glance at my car door that was hanging open. I noticed some of my CD's in the door there and thought to myself, "Gee if someone were to steal my CD collection (and they would have to be pretty darn desparate for tunes), I would be soooooooooo embarrassed!!" My embarrassing collection includes: -The soundtrack to the Amadeus movie, -Clannad, -En Vouge, -Pure Disco, -Club MTV Party to go, -The Kim Possible soundtrack...these are choices that I made for myself at one time. Yes, I picked out Kim Possible. These are bad enough by themselves, but put them together with the other CD's that I am not so embarrassed about would be quite confusing for the thief. I love all types of music (obviously) and my entire collection (with the family's) would raise some questions as to how many people are actually IN this family. I had to laugh at myself! So I was wondering if any of you out there have an embarrassing collection you would not want people to go through. Or am I the only nerd out there?

Today's "Holy crap!" moment

Sharp as a Marble sent this to me today. I proceeded to tell him that I should just hang up my guitar. I don't think I could ever get this good! Unless of course I practice the entire time the kids are in school. And then if I do that, then, there would be no clean clothes to wear or clean dishes to eat off of, if in fact we have food in the house...you get where I'm going.

Ready, set, quilt!

Want to quilt with me? Starting in September, when the kids go back to school and I have more ME time, I will be starting up a quilt block-of-the month. Over in the Links I Like section is another blog just for quilting stuff enititled "Mel's Quilting Spot". I will have a pattern to follow for a different quilt block each month on that page. Since the kids are in school typically from September through May, that gives us 9 months, or 9 blocks. It should make for a nice wall hanging or lap quilt by the time school is out. This will be a challenge to see if I actually get a quilt finished in time. I usually need a deadline or some other encouragement to get me going. I have alot of UFO's or (UnFinished Objects) in my quilting area. This would be good to get me to follow through with some. I will also be posting pictures of mine and anyone else's who wish to send in so we can all see our progress. Hope this will be fun for all you quilters out there. Gee, that means we all have to go buy some more fabric. Oh darn, what ever shall we do? So get all your stuff ready for the school year and see what creations we can come up with!!
