Excuse or Explanation?

Cleaning your house

while your kids are still growing

is like shoveling a walk

before it stops snowing.

~ Phyllis Diller

Thanks, Cath!! I LOVE this!

Share The Joy

When you see something this cute, you just have to share the joy!

Thanks, Jawan!

Redneck Repeat

Remember back here when I told you of our spontaneous strip swim? Well, my sister wasn't satisfied with the written word and suggested I repeat the adventure (a little less on the spontaneous) and make sure my camera was at the ready. I was a little too willing to oblige.

Just so you can see how full their diapers were. . . they were playing Ring-a-Round-the-Roses:

Bubs could barely keep his diaper up since it was so full and heavy. This diaper actually burst moments later when Bubba jumped up and landed on his rear in the pool.

Good Times!

Facebook Payoffs - Three Down - One to Go!

So, I have delivered three more of my Facebook "crafts made just for you". Actually, one has been delivered and the other two are in my daddy's office waiting for their owners to retrieve them.

Here's what my brother got (made just for him - remember, the note said you might not like it!):

If you have read this blog for any length of time, you know my family has such a weird thing about t-shirts, so I made him a shirt for his 40th birthday celebration. (Remember, also, that his hair is not usually that color!! That was his contribution to the celebration.)

You also know of my love for the countdown. So, Amanda is getting a fun countdown set:

The plan was to spray paint a cookie sheet and add a ribbon so she could hang it, but I ran out of time. So, Amanda, if you want you can spray paint a cookie sheet or just use your fridge or whatever magnets will stick to! Have fun!

And then there's my friend Allison. She gets a countdown too, but one of a different nature. A Christmas Countdown:

These are match boxes; emptied, of course. Allison can write activities or verses or whatever fits HER family best and put one in each box to be opened each day of December until the BIG day! I'm gonna make me one too.

So, there you go. Now on to Jawan's. . . is the suspense killing you?
