Mommy Giggles

Hello Friends - anyone out there?

Sorry I've been gone - I've been busy - organizing a Turkey Trot in my city, having my 3rd baby end of January, and starting a new website with my sister Heidi: MommyGiggles.com

Mommy Giggles is a site where moms submit funny pictures to share with other moms to get a giggle out of. They can either be pictures of their kids or of other hilarious “mommy moments”

We would appreciate if you could spread the word about our site to other moms too!

We hope you will get a “giggle” out of our site.

Please Keep Sneaking Into Our House

Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritation and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place. ~Mark Twain

These "people" scare the CRAP out of me! Especially the one in the office chair. I think I punched it in the face. But we still love it. We have such CREATIVE friends! 

Growth

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

And also saying "Get to work - your yard looks awful with those dead bushes."

So I got to work. HARD work. Including digging up 2 huge bushes with my father-in-law and a pick (it was AWESOME!)

It took 3 weeks of Yard Waste collection to get rid of everything.



Grow little plants, GROW!



I learned a lot - like you aren't supposed to put bark so close to your plants. I was so hestitant to plant anything, but then my mom told me the best advice that encouraged me to start planting. She said "gardening is like a science experiment - you just have to keep trying stuff and learn as you go." I was always too afraid of making mistakes but then I dug right in! Thank mom.



Wesley learned you aren't supposed to eat plants. Or pull out the flowers.



Preston learned Heidi's cell phone number - haa haa haa haa haa haa - Poor Heidi (she will get me back some day)



Yeah for summer! Boo for watering! Yeah for pretty lavendar smell!



School's Out For Summer!

Oh! The lazy days of summer are soon upon us!

Two milestones that show us summer is soon here:

1. Last day of school: (Mrs. Jones is the best!)

2. The FRECKLES are coming out!

They are appearing on his arms this year in the most adorable "dots" you've ever seen. 

Not "Just" A Fireman

"Never do anything that you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics"

Over the past couple of months, Uncle Branden has been focusing his attention on becoming a real life hero: A fireman. I asked him what we should call him now: officer, lieutenant, sergeant but he said he is "just" Firefighter Werry.

Branden: You are not "Just" Firefighter Werry. You are OUR Firefighter Werry. Which makes you VERY special.
 

What are these 2 going to be when they grow up? I can't wait to find out!

A Monarch Farm

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.  ~Author Unknown

Target is my favorite store because they have everything - including Butterfly Farms. We bought the kit and went online with our coupon and a couple of days latter a little jar of baby catapillars came to our house.

They grew and grew and grew and grew until one day the catapillars weren't little - they were big FAT catapillars.

You know the rest of the story......... because I know every household owns "The Very Hungry Catapillar"
(if you don't, I'll give you one of our 5 copies of the book.)

We ooohhed and aaahhhed over our butterflies for 2 weeks until it was warm enough to set them free.

It's crazy around this hub

Sock Storm

Keep a thing seven years and it's bound to come in handy. ~Russian Proverb (and Tom's too)

Tom has a flaw. He cannot throw anything away - including unmatched, holey, thinned out SOCKS!

I considered having an Organizational Therapist come over, but then I found the best solution is just to wait until he is gone to throw away or donate his stuff.

It's a good thing he doesn't read my blog.

Then when he asks where it is I tell him if he didn't have so much stuff he probably would be able to find it.

I have yet to figure out how to get rid of his "bin" of old cell phones.

But then he will get rid of my bike.

Couples should not clean out garages together.

Can life get better? I submit that it CANNOT!

"Say 8... say 8... Happy 8 day." ~ Brian Regan

This night showed Tom that my family does not do so well meeting Famous People:

Me: Refuse to submit myself to such ridicule so I stayed back talking to Tim through his car window looking like a prostitute (according to Tom).

Mom: Was so paranoid she was going to miss seeing him when he came to get on his bus she stood right at the door but when when he came out she hid behind my dad. Then suddenly came out and said, "Let's get a picture with the girls."

Heidi (slowly): "Hi! I'm Heidi" (shaking his hand)

Dad: Wouldn't go up to see him, but then pouted when he didn't get his ticket signed

It was an evening of constant entertainment. From the dinner at our house feeding 20 people to laughing on the way home about my family's awkward famous people reactions.

My tummy was sore!
