Never underestimate your kids...

The only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 8 year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony with a Popsicle and tell him to report on all the neighborhood activities. He began his commentary as his parents put their plan into Operation.

'There's a car being towed from the parking lot,' he shouted.
A few moments passed ... 'An ambulance just drove by.'
A few moments later, ' Looks like the Anderson's have company,' he called out.
'Matt's riding a new bike.....'
A few moments later, 'Looks like the Sanders are moving.'
'Jason is on his skate board....'
A few more moments, 'The Coopers are having sex!!!'

Startled, his Mother and Dad shot up in bed! Dad cautiously called out, 'How do you know they are having sex?'

'Jimmy Cooper is standing on his balcony with a Popsicle, too.'

Scrappin' fun!

Our class did a two-page, 12x12 lay out Sunday afternoon. Here is the L page:

And this is the R side...they'll both look much better when I get some spring pictures of 3 cute kids on them...and when they are in an album, rather than lying on the carpet...:

And in honor of our preggars daughter, here is a family funny:

It was 6 p.m., and I was about to leave the coin laundry where I was employed. My boss called me over and asked if I would mind dropping off someone's laundry on my way home. "It's for my cousin," she apologized, "who's eight months pregnant and can't get out much anymore." I cheerfully agreed and, driving to the address, knocked at the door. A little girl, the sister-to-be, answered.

"Hi, there," I said with a big smile. "Is your mommy home?" Holding up the white bundle of clothes, I explained, "I have a delivery for her."

The child's mouth dropped, and her eyes went wide. "Mom!" She shrieked, "come quick! It's the stork!"

Monday...Cinco de Mayo!

This has been around, but is cute and so I'll apologize ahead of time cuz it did make me grin...

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

Lighten up y'all...quit groaning...happy Monday! Go do something for fun today!

Sunday funny

With it being Sunday, it is church day. I am lay reader/chalice bearer today, so Dick volunteered to stay home and keep Doodlebug. Wasn't that nice of him? What a grandpa!!! At least Doodlebug slept in till 7 this morning:-) We appreciated that for sure.

So here is a 'priest' joke to make y'all laugh:


A priest was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him. The rabbi told him he wouldn't know what to say, but the priest told him to come on over and he'd stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do. The rabbi comes and he and the priest are in the confessional.
A few minutes later, a woman comes in and says, "Father forgive me for I have sinned." The priest asks "What did you do?" The woman says, "I committed adultery."
Priest: "How many times?"
Woman: "Three times."
Priest: "Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the box and go and sin no more." A few minutes later a man enters the confessional. He says, "Father forgive me for I have sinned."
Priest: "What did you do?"
Man: "I committed adultery."
Priest:"How many times?"
Man: "Three times."
Priest: "Say two Hail Marys, put $5 in the box and go and sin no more."
The rabbi tells the priest that he thinks he's got it so the priest leaves.
A few minutes later another woman enters and says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned."
Rabbi:"What did you do?"
Woman: "I committed adultery."
Rabbi: "How many times?"
Woman: "Once."
Rabbi: "Go do it two more times. We have a special this week, three for $5."



Happy Sunday, y'all!

Grandchildren and granddogs...

Happy birthday, Miss M! Seven is a good age. The party was last weekend...

Love the baby, and say goodbye to mommie (and daddy)....

Dick and I have Doodlebug and the two granddogs while our daughter and her hubby enjoy a weekend alone before the arrival of baby #2 in a month...

Sweetie pie enjoys his own dump truck...and can't wait to ride in that big one with daddy or Grumps! He loves everything with wheels....
We are all truly blessed...just saying!

Thursday adventure...

The dreaded phone call came from one of the kids....I’m stuck; please come help! And we aren’t talking about something ‘small’ being stuck either. Dad to the rescue....
They shoveled...nope...hooked up the track hoe from the front and pulled...nope...little guy enjoyed all the pushing, pulling from the safety of his mommie's vehicle........along with making all the appropriate 'budden, budden' little boy noises to entertain his mommie and me...

Pushing from behind finally got the dump truck unstuck....relief! This was great entertainment for the whole neighborhood....
The two big boys came to our house and celebrated with a beer. End of story.
