January 31st - Funkey Love & The Mauling of the Cat

I couldn't pick just one picture from today, so ya'll get to see two, lol


First up - Funkey Love. Taking turns playing the U.B.Funkeys on Dad's computer (yep, that's a timer sittin there too! I make em use it so there's no fighting over who's turn it is and for how long!)
Have you ever seen a cheesier grin??

Then we have The Mauling of the Cat...
Nick calls it "love the kitty"

January 30th - Pogo-A-Go-Go

Nick and his nightly visits with Mom on Pogo :)

January 29th - The Amazing Exploding Desk

... guess what i'll be doing tonight?

January 28th - Mr. Monk Flashbacks

So I'm makin my breakfast this morning - the usual fried eggs and cheese on toast sandwiches with mayo (a cholesterol nightmare, i know!), and I have a flashback. I love the show "Monk" (comes on the USA channel on friday nights), and if you've ever watched the show you know that Mr. Monk is ... well, a little obsessive complusive, LOL!, and a germaphobe. There was recently an episode where Mr. Monk had a case involving a guy that invented the square tomato.... which Mr. Monk absolutely flipped over because with a square tomato, you get perfectly square slices that fit perfectly on a sandwich. And I realized, after I had prepped my toast, and my eggs were done that I could totally go for a square egg ~ or at least a square pan so that the eggs ended up in a square shape. I don't like my eggs to overhang the bread, so I cut them up before I put them on the bread.....

January 27th - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

After a full morning, including a principal's office visit, doctor appoint, and shots, my poor kid plops down at home in front of boomerang, forgetting that he still has his jacket on.

January 26th - Nightmare in my Living Room

this table is my constant nightmare. it's the kids "coloring table" and sits in our living room. it's just a folding table, with metal folding chairs. the kids pile their crap on it constantly.

helloooo? there's a plastic bucket sitting RIGHT THERE to NEATLY store all your crap in!

January 25th - And MORE Birthday Cake.... oy....

January 24th - More Birthday Shopping

January 23rd - Would You Like Fries With That?

i forgot to put the lid on the crock pot this morning after filling it with beefy goodness. next thing i know i hear Burley heave his fat self up onto the counter, so i swooshed into the kitchen with the camera. nick doesn't believe that Burley is as bad as i say he is, so i took this picture to dime him out! lol!

January 22nd - Dark & Spooky!

one of several reasons why i don't like to drive at night around here... i wasn't kidding when i said we don't have any street lights!

January 17th - Decisions, Decisions!

So, today was JD's 9th birthday, and I took him shopping for his birthday prezzies. I know... it takes the fun out of the "surprise", but this way the kids get what THEY want, not what *I* want them to have, lol! So today's picture is one of him carefully scrutinizing... and analyzing... and trying to decide what to get...

January 16th - Friday Night Fun

this is usually how our friday nights go... nick relunctantly gives up the tv so the kids can take turns on the wii (after going thru withdrawal all week coz of school, lol) while playing with the kinex. the picture totally sucks coz a) it's dark outside, my camera does better in daylight, and 2) coz the kids are all QUITE animated, lol.
oh wow. even the cat got in on the shot, lol! i didn't realize he was in Nick's recliner ~ i thought he was layin on the bed with Nick... hehe. that's his second favorite place to be during the day.

January 15th - Hermit Crab or Homework?

January 9th - You Know What They Say About Curiosity...

there's a lot of hype about this series.... i have to know what the hubbub is all about, lol! so i put the series on my christmas wish list --- Nick bought me book #1 last week (i'm actually surprised he was able to find a copy in this hick town...)

January 7th - Kitty on the Prowl

ok, so he doesn't exactly look like he's on the prowl. he moved, i got a "yea, yea, yea" look from him, and he squated down to keep an eye on the blinds on the front window for bird shadows... so he could once again run for them, smack his head on the window, and then look at me like it's my fault he's an idiot...
