If you don't want to wash the dishes...

Ever read Shel Silverstein's poem about washing dishes?  It goes something like "If you don't want to wash the dishes, break the dishes on the floor and they wont ask you to do the dishes anymore."

My husband was trying to break up a half frozen chunk of meant this evening, so he slammed it against a plate.  I was right about to warn him not to when he did it, and it shattered my plate!  I knew it wasn't a good idea but I had no idea this would happen!

On the bright side, (for him) I wont ask him to thaw the meat anymore ;)

If your old enough to tie a bow...

I am constantly peeved at work when I find the messes people leave.  Adults should not make these kinds of messes, and kids should be watched by their parents so they don't either.

Today while cleaning the isles I found a pile of ribbon left by one customer.  So you unravel the spool (After removing the plastic wrapper keeping the ribbon in place,) you tie a bow in it, decide it isn't what you want....and you just leave it there?  Really? C'mon! 

If you are old enough to tie a bow, you are certainly old enough to know to clean up your own mess!

Just my venting for the day, cleaning up after customers really stresses me sometimes.

Just Practicing

This morning my wonderful husband made me breakfast.  I was a little surprised to come to the table and find a mickey mouse pancake looking back.  With a big grin on his face, my husband said "I'm practicing for when we have kids!"

What a sweetheart!  My kids are so blessed and lucky to have him as dad!  And I am blessed and lucky to have him as partner, best friend and spouse!

The Man Pedal

Since my brother Taylor recently joined the "Men's Club" by turning in his automatic for manual car, Cody and him got matching shirts that have the gas pedal, break pedal, and clutch pedal with an arrow pointing to the clutch pedal saying " The Man Pedal."

Cody hates, absolutely HATES getting his picture taking, which is why he is making this particular face, 

Goodbye Breakfast

The morning my Dad left for the summer Cody wanted to see him one last time to say goodbye so we all got together for breakfast before work.

I happened to look over and see my Grandpa, Dad and brother comparing the size of their wenis'.  Not really sure what started it though, I missed that part.  But it was kind of funny.

Cody and Seth really bonded this summer. I'm not sure what they were doing here, but the above picture is one of my favorite pictures of the two. 

 
 
 
 

Seth has a thing for pulling hair.  Don't know why, but he loves to pull hair.

Seth and Grandma!




We love having Seth around. 

Handy Man

One thing I absolutely love about my husband is how clever and handy he his.  He just thinks of the funniest, but smartest solutions so problems. 

Yesterday Cody was jumping his truck with my car.  Instead of sitting in the car pushing on the gas an waiting for it to be charged...He took my window scraper and jammed it between the seat and the gas pedal, AND THEN he set the cruise control to keep it at the pressure he wanted!  Genius! I would have never thought of something so smart!




 

The Best Birth Control

My sister-in-law and her husband had theirs anniversary this weekend so we got to watch their precious three girls for a few days!

Here's Cody and the older two, Whitney and Bree watching T.V.  As you can see, he is really enjoying watching Brats! 

The next morning I got out of the shower to find Bree huddled in a corner pouting.  I asked her what was wrong, and with tears in her eyes she cried "Cody wont let me watch Barbie's ballet."  Haha, poor girl.  He asked her if they could watch some mechanic show and she didn't say no, so he thought it was ok and changed the channel.  Hadn't even noticed she left the room upset.  Reminds me of me at the age, I probably would have left pouting too!
 


I loved spending so much time with this little angel.  Got some mashed up bananas my eyes though, turns out it really burns.  I can wait a little longer to have kids, but I am so excited to raise a little family with my wonderful husband.  Watching him with my nieces, I know he will be a great dad!
