Friday Funnies

Poor puppy! Spring-like weather wore him out earlier this week. I'm sure there is a great caption for this picture, but I am too tired from a road trip with the kids to think of one!

Friday Funnies

Overheard at my house recently:
Miss M, as she is working on reviewing all her scripture memory for the Awana year: "Hey Daddy, let me quiz you now. Try James 2:10.
Dad:  I don't know...give me a hint.
Miss M: For whoever
Dad: I still don't know.
She then proceeded to do the same thing for a few more verses.
Finally, she said: Daddy, no wonder you are only allowed to work with Cubbies!

(The Awana portion for 3 and 4 year olds is Cubbies, which Daddy works with each week.)

What can I say? He was in need of a haircut. We were bored. He was willing to do a photo shoot. Not to worry...he got a trim two days later.

Gingerbones for Hudson

Cupcake Nana recently purchased this cookbook and loaned it to us for a bit. All natural, good-for-the-dog and good-for-the-human ingredients, with recipes for stews, gravies, snacks, sweet treats and even party foods. Hudson will turn one next month and Miss M is already looking for a cake recipe for him.

We've only made one recipe so far - gingerbones. They smelled delicious baking, but with no sweetener added, the kids and I decided we'd let Hudson eat them all!

 And eat them he has! He'd gobble up the entire batch if allowed.

I think he still loves Miss M more than the cookies though!

Little Mermaid Sneak Peek

As I mentioned in my previous post, Miss M is involved in a children' community theater production of The Little Mermaid. It's pretty neat that most of the kids had a hand in working on their own costumes. This is her first show and she is the youngest by at least 2 years. She's holding her own though and learning a lot! I think her favorite thing about last night was that she got to wear MAKE-UP! Here are a few pics from the dress rehearsal. 

Miss M is Cecil, a Slithery Sir. She likes telling people she is a minion for Odessa, the Queen of the Humans. (Ursala in the Disney version.) If you are local and want tickets....let me know soon! Showtime is this Sunday at 2 PM.

It's been almost a month since my last post....you'd think I was abducted by aliens or something! That would make for a more interesting explanation, but it's really been Miss M's play practice that has been cutting into my blogging time. She's doing a great job though and looking forward to the performance in about 1 week. Hopefully I can get back to regularly cleaning my house and blogging again after that!

So here's the Friday Funny for today, overheard at my house this week.
Miss M: What's for dinner?
me: brisket, green beans, roasted potatoes, and homemade bread
Miss M: Yeah! (then she runs off the bathroom to wash up for dinner. I hear her singing something about "Mama never lets us...." but I can't make out rest.)
Miss M, as she arrives at the table: What's this on my plate? MEAT?!?
me: Yes, I said we were having brisket.
Miss M: YUCK! I thought you said BISCUITS! I was singing about how you never let us eat a meal without meat or protein.

I haven't decided what her deal with meat is, but it would drive her dad nuts if she became a vegetarian.

While Mr C and I were getting ready to leave for our weekly storytime at the library, he decided to shut all the bedroom and bathroom doors. Then he announced he was going to lock all the doors so Hudson wouldn't bother anything. Never mind that Hudson was already in his crate in my bedroom. Anyway, he managed to lock my door and shut it - the only doorknob in the house that hasn't been turned around so the lock is on the outside. Frustration set in...I could get the door lock to unlock but I couldn't get the door to open the entire way. I called my friend who was on the way to meet me at the library and she came to my house instead. A fresh set of eyes and a few minutes later...she had opened the door! I am so thankful that Hudson wasn't loose in my room the entire time.
