We interrupt the regularly scheduled blog post for what can only be described as a very bad joke...
Somebody has got to be kidding...
I mean, seriously...
What IS the deal?
This is getting ridiculous. It IS the 26th of April, after all. At least, that's what my calendar says... My hilarious 8 year old son heard the forecast on the radio yesterday and, without missing a beat, let out an exasperated "does Al Gore know about this?!"
Guess what I got done earlier this week? I got the last of the kids' winter coats washed and packed away... sigh...
Enjoying them, (but not so much this Minnesota weather...)
I was showing my kids (and my husband, who happened to be home early that day due to a 'locked ourselves out of the house' incident...) the different flags from countries represented by visitors to my blogs (this one and my knitting blog)- I thought it was cool to have returning traffic from places like Estonia and Poland... when my husband hopped on the laptop and checked his stats. He casually says, yours gets way more traffic than mine, to which my oldest two half-whispered to me, with shock and awe in their hushed tones, "Dad has a blog?!?!?!"
Um, nope, dad doesn't have a blog. He doesn't have time to blog, but then either do I, but that hasn't stopped me so far... Dad does have a website for his business, and while it may not be splattered with fabulous pictures of my darling children, it does explain why having your data backed up offsite is not just a luxury these days, it's essential for businesses, and could come in pretty handy for home computer users as well.
While playing on the jungle gym during our oldest's soccer practice, 4 year old Grace was introducing herself and her sisters to another little girl that had come to play.
"That's Hopie, she's a toddler- she eats with her mouth open." (With a roll of the eyes that says 'I can't believe she does that!')
7 yr old Jaron and 6 yr old Liberty were 'studying' the presidents laminated poster/placemat after breakfast... looking for presidents that shared their birthday months. When they came to Bill Clinton, Jaron told Liberty about how his wife now wants to be president and... "Did you know his wife has a temper?! I heard on Sean Hannity's 'Stop Hillary Express' that one time when a man asked her a question, she threw a book at him!!! She can't even control her temper! Do you think she could control the country?!!"
(My kids hear a little Sean Hannity on Monday afternoons on the way home from orchestra... we don't listen to talk radio at home... 45 minutes now and then is enough... )
4 yr old Grace- "Mom, you look kinda weird. Maybe you should put a barrette on, that would look pretty."
I guess she's not used to seeing my hair down around the house...
It came up in conversation with a friend that I actually had 6 kids...
Liberty, nearly 6, delightedly exclaimed, "And you're not even old!"
How sweet is that?!
