Family Confections: Loving the scanner

Loving the scanner

Now I know how to use the scanner I've been having fun scanning in some sweet Polaroids, our family's camera of choice for many years.

So did I mention I'm having a birthday soon?
Conversation 7:50 am this morning.
MDH, MR.Man, Me

Mr.Man: Mom, you're having a birthday soon.
Me: I know.
Mr. Man: Dad, what are we going to get mom for her birthday? We need to get her a present!
MDH: How about we get her some Pokemon?!
Mr.Man: OK.........wait......What? No......What?.....that won't work. Pokemon?
Mom, what do you want for your birthday?
Me: I want a new broom for our NEW HOUSE. I had to leave ours in Nevada.
Mr.Man: Ok..........wait........what?......okay........is that what you want?
Me: Yes.
MDH: Sounds good to me.
Mr. Man: OH>>>>KAY>>>Really?
Me: Really.

I guess a broom doesn't sound like very much fun to a five year old.

Andrea said...: I hope that you have a great birthday!! New brooms for a new house are always a good thing. I love the pic! I so had that hair do! You are so awesome. How much hairspray did it take to get those bangs up there?

Have a Happy Happy Birthday!

Carol said...: Honestly, not very much hairspray at all. When you've got really thick hair it works best to start with a blow-dryer and a little hairspray. Then a 1/2" curling iron and a little more hairspray while you're curling. After all that a good pick and comb and you're set to go. Can't wait for that style to come back around.;); November 24, 2008 at 6:51 AM

things we never thought we"d say.....but we have!

Pickles are nature's way of saying, "Enjoy a cucumber this winter."
The science fair is not called "The Evil Science Fair" for a reason. We really should avoid blowing things up. That means no dry-ice bombs even if you claim to be doing research on greenhouse gases.
Mold doesn't grow that fast! If it did we'd all be covered in it and/or be dead. (Said in response to a daughter thinking mold had grown on her ice-cream in less than five minutes and she was going to get sick and die from it.)
Lift your arms so I can hit you. (A sister said to a brother)
I wish there were dogs in sacrament meeting. Then maybe R- would hold still on my lap and be quiet. (She's terrified of dogs.)
Don't eat cat food.
Fair is fair. If you get to shoot an apple off your brother's head, he get's to shoot an apple off your head.
Take the fork out of your nose! (said 5-22-08, and not to who you would think. Uh-oh!
You don't have throat cancer.
You don't have leprosy.
It's rough when my fans don't adore me.
It's all fun and games until someone gets hypothermia.
Mountain men don't wear short shorts.
Do you REALLY HAVE to talk like Tarzan at the table?
DROP the monkey!
There IS a striking similarity between the "Cowboy" dance and the "Potty" dance. It's easy to get them confused.
How do you spell "Mohican"?
Buffalo gives me gas.
Don't gargle your jello!
We don't throw snowballs at other people's Christmas decorations.
Get off your little sister, she is not a horse!
Take your underwear out of your mouth!
No singing with your mouth full.
Just don't lick the couch. Okay?!
Don't stick your nose in your sister's mouth.
That's what happens when you stick your nose in your sister's mouth.
Don't throw that salamander!
Stop hitting your sister with a lobster!
Take the plumb pit out of your nose!

Thoughts I live by

Don't take yourself too seriously.
Never participate in chain letters.
Don't worry about what others think about you because they're probably too busy thinking about themselves and worrying what others think of them to worry about you.
What you lack in talent can be made up for with determination and hard work.
Surround yourself with people and things that make you smile.
Find something you love to do and do it.
Find someone you love to love and tell them.
Take time to read a good book.
Dance whenever you can.
Elephants are always a good idea.
