Crutches...and other sports that hurt


"My dad's friend, he was doing the crutches..."
"Crutches?"
"Yeah, the game where you take a big stick with a net on it and throw the ball?"
"You mean La Crosse?"
"Yeah, he broke his foot."

Vanity of Children and The Mothers Who Love Them...

While walking through the neighborhood with Eli we passed a beagle in a yard.

Eli: Awww a beagle just like my Webkinz. Cute beagle. He deserves a special name.
Mom: He is cute and he probably does have a special name. I think Eli is a special name.
Eli: I know! It IS a special name! I'm famous because my name is on Facebook stuff and people write songs about me!!

LOL!!!

Note to readers: Facebook search brought up flair buttons with the name Eli and I recently found 2 more songs besides that of Three Dog Night with Eli in the title; two written about the singers' children.

So since apparently ALL of these things are about MY Eli, just where are my royalty checks???

Let them SEE cakes!

I just have to share one of my favorite sites with you.Cake Wrecks It's value is purely entertainment. As a once aspiring cake artist, I find it highly amusing. I pop in regularly for a pick-me-up and it never fails me (and no calories!) If you are so taken, you can even order some clever clothing items bearing some of the most memorable design submissions. I plan on letting folks know that "One BonBon is Poison" :-) Cake Wrecks: Search results for one bon bon Just so's ya know, it is well worth your time to go back to the beginning and check out ALL the submissions. Some are too funny to be believed. And occasionally, Jen posts photos of truly beautiful cakes.
Bone Appateet! (yes I did that on purpose LOL)

Button Button...Where are my buttons???

I'm trying to add buttons to my blog and having trouble. Can any of you help me work this out? Also, I tried c/p a couple of blog site addresses that I follow and that's not working either. I know it isn't rocket science, but maybe the internet is being persnickety? A smiley for anyone who can help me straighten this out :D

Timing is everything....

N: Water please Mom
(I open the cabinet)
N: Red (cup)
Me: Why does it have to be red?
N: Because it does
Me: Is that the only answer you've got?
N: No. I got alot more of them. That's the only one right now.

What do I know anyway???

K: Poppo! Poppo! (pointing at toaster)
Me: That's Mommy's Pop Tart
K: Why?
Me: Because I want it. Why did YOU eat one?
K: I don't know it
Me: (giggling) You're silly, do you know that?
K: (making squinchy face) NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

And THAT'S the truth! Or is it???

Kingsley looking intently at Gabbie: Bak la dee dee ah bah kih dah

Kingsley: No!

Kingsley: Gup nee nee ahhh do ga na lee dee

Gabbie: Hmm...Are you sure about that?

Kingsley: Ummmmmmm.....no
Bye Bye See you....Bye Bye See you!

Shamless Plug :-)

Ok my whole foods foodie friends....I want to recommend that the next time you are in Maine, make a trip to the quaint town of Belfast and visit the Belfast Co-op"Maine's Oldest and Largest Co-op" I learned last night that my aunt Donna is their asst mgr, but also the cook in their new cafe. Let me tell you, this lady can cook! She and my uncle owned various baking and food businesses over the years and only retired from it in recent years. However, Donna is now cooking at the Coop and whole foods are new for her, but she loves it and so do her customers. So if you can, stop in and tell her I sent you! :-)

You can't handle the truth!!

Nikolas asked for a Tootsie Roll the other day. When he unwrapped it, it was still stuck to its little cardboard backing. He held it up and with a very stoic expression and tone (which those who know him call "Stone Face"). He spoke quietly and firmly as if he was giving whispered statements rather than asking questions.

Nikol: Mom, what is it

Me: Ummm... a Lincoln Log?

Nikol: No! It wooks wike a poop!

Me: (stifling a giggle) No it doesn't Silly, it looks like a Tootsie Roll

Nikol: No! It IS a poop! A big poop.
