Sing It, Wordful Wednesday

For today's enjoyment, I have a clip of Thomas (my 16 month old) singing...

Now for some reason my kids can not sing the typically nursery rhymes and such that all little kids learn. Oh no.... Luke was a Bob the Builder song lover and now Thomas has decided that Sponge Bob will be his song of choice....

Enjoy!!!

My favorite part is the ohhhh at the begining. He does that every time it comes on in our house. His Sponge Bob isn't the clearest but it is what he is trying to say.

Mad, Mad & more Mad!!!

I am so upset right now I can't see straight. You hear about this stuff happening all the time to other people but not me. I went to Target today to buy a CD and I used a credit card that I barely ever use. I pay the balance off every month so it is at zero all the time. I just made payment in full on Friday and my card was rejected at the store. That is really odd!!! So I leave the store and call... guess what, some punk stole that I don't even know was using my card. The fraud department caught a lot of Internet transactions taking place on Saturday and put a fraud hold on my card. I feel so sick right now....

I am a very credit conscious person and I just went in and did my free credit report check two weeks ago because I stay on top of this stuff. So the fact that my card was stolen just upsets me to no end.

I am thankful the bank caught it and froze the card, not happy that they did not call me. Now in a week I have to go in a dispute all these unknown charges. This had better not hurt my excellent credit score rating. I will be pissed!!! Sorry I am mad at this very moment.

First Ever Play Date

Last Friday Luke had his very first ever play date where a friend from school came over to our house that afternoon. We met his mom at noon at school and then they followed us to our house where his friends mom dropped him off. These two boys had so much fun. I was a bit nervous about the whole thing but it turned out really great. The weather was beautiful outside on Friday so they took the Nerf guns out side and ran around the yard having a blast shooting each other with little Nerf darts.

Here are some pictures from Friday's play date.
These two chased each other around the old shed out back. The hid behind the tree, shed and anything else so they could sneak attack each other. It was fun to watch them.



Here they are together. Poor D, Luke wouldn't give him the smaller Nerf gun so he had to carry around this thing that was as big as him. He was a good sport about it.

The boys were constantly having to stop and put the darts back in. It was reloading time. The good thing they both had the same number of darts and it was always reload time at the same time for both of them.
I love this picture of Luke. I don't get to many picture of him with such a great natural smile anymore. (His nervous twitches just take away those great smiles, another story for another time). It just goes to show how relaxed and how much fun he was having.

Finally here we are again and we have the dog way back along the edge of the yard going potty in my photo. Thanks Lexis!!!

It was such a wonderful day!!!

Aloha Friday #29

Aloha Friday # 29

I am going back in time today. So today I ask you the following questions, answer one or answer all just have fun going back in time.

Todays Question......
Go back 5, 10 and/or 20 years in time, how old were you and what were you doing in your life then?

My answers:
5 Years ago I was 29 years old and Luke would have been one. We had our home a couple years at this point and had gotten a good start on the work before Luke arrived.

10 years ago I was 24 and the year would have been 1999. I had just been married one year, we were living in our little apartment and I was working full time and going to collage full time. I always have been one of those people that has to load my plate with way to much stuff.

20 years ago I would have been 14. I would have been in junior high school (8th grade). It was the last year my parents lived in town before we moved to the apple farm that my parents live on today.

PLAY TIME

Last week while on vacation Luke talked me into putting up his tent. Now this is a tent that I can not stand. Two years ago Luke wanted a play tent for Christmas. My mother-in-law buys him this huge thing.

(I can stand up inside this huge thing)

I was not happy because you can't set this thing up anywhere with out it taking up half of a room. But for my kids enjoyment I put it in the toy room where the boys had a blast.

I was sitting at the computer and Thomas was playing peek-a-boo with me through the little tiny door. It was so cute!!


I have yet to take this tent down but the boys have more fun knocking it down and every day I have to fix it so they can destroy it again. Here it is on its way down, it just hasn't hit the floor yet.
Have your kids ever recieved a toy that was just way to big or just not ment for your home?
