I might need to look at more home insurance quotes if i keep letting my kids work in the yard. But isn’t he a cutie?

I love the hat and glasses! If that wasn’t enough, look at my oldest! Click to enlarge any of these.

The man with the truck is a friend of mine. He has a yard business and came over to cut some limbs and help get the yard cleaned up. The kids wanted to earn some extra money… win win situation. Of course being boys, they did want to pick up the little limbs… ohhhh noooo…

It was a great time by all this weekend. Just taking me a while to get all the photos and stuff together. I have such good kids. It makes me wonder how they can drive me over the edge so fast!

After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said: “Darling, 44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old girl. Now I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, nice big bed and plasma screen TV but I’m sleeping with a 65-year-old woman. It seems to me that you’re not holding up your side of things.”

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25-year-old girl, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Aren’t older women great? They really know how to solve your mid-life crisis!

Marriage….for your info…

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.

David Bissonette

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can’t face each other, but still

they stay together.

Sacha Guitry

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll be happy… If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

Socrates

Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them.

The great question… Which I have not been able to answer… Is, “What does a woman want?”

Dumas

I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.

Sigmund Freud

‘Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.’

‘There’s a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It’s called marriage…’

Sam Kinison

‘I’ve had bad luck with both my wives…
The first one left me, and the second one didn’t.’

Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming…
1. Whenever you’re wrong, admit it,
2. Whenever you’re right, shut up.

Patrick Murra

The most effective way to remember your wife’s birthday is to forget it once….

You know what I did before I married?
Anything I wanted to.

My wife and I were happy for twenty years.
Then we met.

A good wife always forgives her husband when she’s wrong.

A man inserted an ‘ad’ in the classifieds: ‘Wife wanted’. Next day he received a hundred letters.
They all said the same thing: ‘You can have mine.’

Just wanted to brag… my oldest child who is in 2nd grade… is finally figuring out how to take online tests. I am very proud of my son… here is his Reading Counts scores!

This blog is about my family and I hope when we look back in 4 years, this one will all make us smile. Of course, it had to be Diary of a Wimpy Kid that got that best score! hahahahaha…

Here is my Kindergarten boy… I love his story about his birthday. The interpretation is below it:

This is my sixth birthday. I ate donuts. It was good. It was at school. I went to Disney before specials.

The 1 x 11 – 10 is really 1/11/10 (the date it was written). One step at a time. Both boys are really growing up. What am I going to do when they hit their teen years and I can’t be mushy over this stuff???

Take a deep breath… I still haven’t put up all my christmas decorations. Seriously. I think I may need to get a box cutter and make some special dividers for the stuff I have. My mom gave me her Manger scene. It is gorgeous and lots of pieces. I keep thinking I should make up dividers like they do for ornaments. Then I look around my house and wonder when I’m going to find the time just to get the stuff put away. I have this yearbook hanging over my head. I need to get it to a point that I’m happy and relaxed. Just not happening yet. It will. I’m just to a-type to ever do this again. Way too many things to drive me nuts. Sigh… ok, off and running.

Seems I bit off more than I could chew but I’m still going. Luckily I have a sister who is GREAT at scrapping and is helping me out. Almost every day. Heck if she could teach me cad drawings as well, I would be able to make a fortune in about 3 months. I’m going to have this stuff down on the scrapping side before long. Just wish I could find my color wheel. I suck at putting colors together! Forgot to go to the library this weekend, it was one of things I was going to find. A book on colors! Wish me luck, it is going to be a long week…

While visiting Random Thoughts From MaryBeth, she had a link to THIS SITE called Sleep Talkin’ Man. I couldn’t resist checking out the t-shirts. Yaa… I love my t-shirts. There is one that says (without the periods) “B.u.t.t. cheeks ahoy! There she blows!”. I want to get that one for my hubby and boys! And for me “I haven’t put on any weight. Your eyes are fat.”…

It has VERY STRONG language on Sleep Talkin’ Man. Just be aware.

The boys have a ‘make money’ for the school. While I think it sucks we have to do so much to earn money to help pay for the office help… I prefer the Fun Run to the Gift Paper drive. Not much to say… Youngest has an ear infection and now an asthma cough. I’m exhausted and another full day to go. Later All!
