Ladybugs & Stinkbugs

First of all, sorry it's been so long since I've written!  It's been a crazy week, and I've just now gotten caught up on my regular stuff.

 

I have so many pictures to show you guys!! Hope you don't O.D. on my cuties!! These first pictures are my Rock-N-Roll Kiddos. They have a blast singing and playing fun songs in their "band". They want to be like their cousin Brandon and be a rock band. =) Here are some photos, as well as video of them singing:

 

Annie is the lead singer...when she can keep the mic away from Drew...

 

 

 

Drew is lead guitar (or, as he says, "kitar")

 

 

Matthew's on drums...

 

And Jake is the backup singer.

 

Do you want to sing, too?

 

This is just because he's cute!

 

 

 

 

So here's a video of our up-and-coming rock stars. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Here's Andrew rockin' out:

 

And here's Jakey:

I'm so excited about the start of the holidays!! This is my favorite time of year. Here's wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving, and a wonderful start to the holiday season!

I will edit this post frequently with updates!!

Okay, so my kids are geniuses, if I do say so. =)

Andrew is three, and he came in today and told me that he knew my phone number. He pulled out a toy "cell phone" and punched in all 7 digits of my phone number. Now...I have NEVER told him my phone number, so I'm not sure how he has picked this up (I could guess one or two little guys who might have told him...), and he was so excited that he had gotten it right!

Then, later, Mom was discussing what she wanted to eat for dinner. She asked us, "How does chicken sound?"

Andrew says:


Baaak Baaak!!! (making chicken sounds)



I was laughing hysterically - literally "rofl". He never did get why it was funny.



Then, tonight Matthew is staying at Mom's. He came down her stairs and told her that he had turned off the TV upstairs because he didn't want to get addicted to it. (He's too smart for his own good.) So, he sat down next to Mom downstairs and watched HER TV for another hour. (Evidently, only certain TV's contain dangerous, addictive elements. Others are perfectly safe.)


Aren't they funny? They make momma laugh anyway.

Okay, when I first started watching this, I thought it was incredibly stupid. But the longer I watched the more awesome I thought it was. It is incredibly impressive - let me know what you think!




Incidentally, when I originally watched this, I was watching YOUTUBE on my TIVO. TiVo rocks!!! Right now, we can sit on our couch (I know, we're lazy-bums), order pizza, browse and order movie tickets, watch YouTube videos, rent movies from Amazon, and soon we will be able to watch Netflix Watch Instant movies, too! I'm sorry, I know this is silly, but it's so much fun! =) lol

I have to apologize to all of my loyal reads (both of you!) - I've been sick and haven't done much blogging. I do have a couple of photos and videos waiting in the wings, and I hope to get those up soon. Be patient with me!! =)

So laundry is an ever-present part of my life. When Jeremy was working at MCDonald's, we always made the rule that whatever I found in the dryer I got to keep. This was really nice when Jeremy would carry cash around - it sure gave me extra spending money.

Never did I expect that one day I would do laundry, and THIS would be my reward:




Life sure surprises you, eh?
