New joke, by Joey

Joey's been making his own jokes for awhile now, but they're finally starting to be funny!

example:

What do you call an ant that looks really nice?
Ant-some.

:)

Look!

But don't blink!

My dirty clothes basket is empty! Just for a second. As soon as I walk down the hall I'm sure to trip over a single sock or a discarded-ketchup shirt, but you see, my laundry basket, it's empty!!

I suppose this is what happens when you're having this kind of a week. This is our spring break. Breaking from seasons. Last week we wrapped up our swimming lesson season. Joey lead us out by doing a flip off the diving board...no joke. My heart flipped right along with him. Next week is the kick off (you're sure to see photos if I can get my camera fixed) to soccer season. Joey is going back for the second year, and Nate is a rookie who slept with his soccer ball last night and wore his cleats all day today.

This week- it was supposed to be play week. We break with the schools so we didn't school this week, and I'm so grateful...we're ALL sick (though I've been much worse). With the exception, thankfully, of Mr. Right. Eli ran a fever for several days, the rest of us are puny and hacking like crazy. One day we watched tv nearly all day...enough of that. The rest of the week has been pleasant enough with gobs and gobs board games and a trip to the library to freshen up the book supply. Joey has a new-found love for books on tape too, ahhh.

So this sick week got my laundry all caught up. Luckily, it's not the kind of sick that sends the laundry to the back of the line out my front door. My blogs are catching up too. Ha!

My Hero...

Tonight Eli says: "Mom, those bad guys are coming to tie you up!"
Mom thinks: Where does my boy learn this stuff?! Boys!
Mom says: "Tie me up? Why would they want to do that? I'm a nice mommy!"
Eli: "I'll save you mom, I'm going to squirt tomato juice at them!"
Mom: "You're going to save me?"
Eli sprays tomato juice out of the same amazing finger that can give people "super lightning." "Fsssssssss."
Eli: "Now they're all dirty mom."

Yeah, my two year old knows the greatest weapon against evil...dirty bad guys in tomato juice.

Nate Says...

When I grow up I’m going to be in the circus. I’m going to hold two balls in my hand, and a stick, juggling a ball and kicking a ball with my foot, and hold the earth while I’m jumping up and down.

Cyber-friends

I just got an email from a friend, a girl I was acquainted with in high school. Truth be told, back then I knew her little brother far better than her (he and I were in the same class) but last year I discovered her blog. Since then she and I have developed a cyber-relationship. We read each others' blogs.

Today I got an email from her and it was so weird. Like "oh, you're talking to me?" I got so use to reading her blog I forgot to have regular old-fashioned email conversation with her.

So I decided today that from here on out, at minimum, when I visit your blog, I will ALWAYS leave a comment. If I have nothing to say about your blog, then I might just tell you how my day is going or ask you if you like my new hair-cut. BUT, I promise, you'll hear from me. I will not be a cyborg preaching out into space at no one and everyone. I am woman, hear me type!

Off the subject, my sister, my witty lovely sister wrote a hilarious blog....read it if you have a minute. Frumpilicious.

Early Eli says...

6:30 this morning, Eli says;

"Ewww....Mom, did you toot?"
Mom: "No." (really, I didn't)
Eli: "Mom, did I toot?"

Teachable

So, this is another invitation. An invitation for you to come check out my sister blog...sister because it's a compliment to this blog, and because my sister is writing there with me. I am looking for more authors! You do NOT need to be homeschooling to contribute, just a parent, grandparent or teacher in some capacity. Come and see what we've started! Teachable is here.

Booo-hooo!

I miss my camera!
