Wordless Wednesday - from Abigail

Funny or Not?

Abigail handed me this animal cracker yesterday. Donkey attached to cow, who can't go anywhere because of missing front legs. What would their offspring be called? Cowky? Donkow? Maybe it's a zebra! Then it would be a cowbra! Funny? I chuckled a little.

This next picture may be gross to some. OK it's going to gross to all.
My cat puked, but not just any ol' puke. She puked a face inside of an exclamation point! Such talent!
Funny? It's funny to me!

These next pictures....so not funny!

We had 8.5 inches of snow yesterday. It is heavy! It is melting and will probably be gone in a day or two. Why did it bother falling at all if it is going to melt right away? School is delayed 2 hours so roads can be plowed and we can dig out of our driveways. I doubt the tree branches are going to be upright again. I have to go shovel since Perry is out of town. He's always working out of town when this stuff hits. I'll say it again. SO NOT FUNNY!

?'s & Answers

I asked Phoebe and Abigail some questions.
Here are their answers.

List an occupation you do NOT want to do when you grow up.
Phoebe: be the person who walks behind horses and picks up poop in a parade. ( Whew, and here I was worried all along)
Abigail: clean up (she's got that one mastered already)

What was the nicest thing anyone ever did for you?
Phoebe: went to Subway when I asked them to.
Abigail: did what I wanted to do.
(Ahem! what about taking care of you two since day 1? I think that's pretty nice!)

If your house is on fire what will you grab on the way out?
Phoebe: Pearl (our cat)
Abigail: binkey (what once was a beautiful pink blanket is now a knotted up bunch of string) (for the record, they do know just to get out and not try to grab anything, however, Abby will have that blanket in her hand.)

Suddenly you're on Jupiter, what can't you live without?
Phoebe: air
Abigail: binkey (naturally)

You can have lunch with one person living or dead. Who is it and why?
Phoebe: George Washington because he was the 1st president and he was interesting.
Abigail: Abe Lincoln because his hat is tall and he looks spiffy.

How much do I weigh?
Phoebe: 135
Abigail: 800
(Um....no)

What's the perfect age to be married?
Phoebe: 25, because it seems like you're not old and you're not young.
Abigail: 35, because when you're in your 30's it's the medium age to get married.
(as compared to the small age of your 20's and the large age of your 40's, and the super sized age of your 50's?)

What age is old to you?
Phoebe: 55. It's just old to me.
Abigail: 72. because your skin gets all wrinkly and your hair starts to turn gray or white.
(well Happy 72nd birthday to me!)

Thanks girls. You have quite the interesting minds.

Happenings

15 days til Christmas. Ya think we would have our tree up?
Heck, we don't even have a tree yet that we can put up.
I did decorate my fireplace mantle. Big whoop.
I am getting to the very end of my gift shopping.
Not looking forward to the wrapping of gifts.
All us girls in the family are suffering from sore throats. I think mine is strep. I'll survive.
We had a 2-3 inches of snow tonight.
Of course it came between the hours of 2:00 to 5:00.
5:15 is the time we had to leave for the girl's Christmas program at school.
Yes, my kids have sore throats, but the show must go on!
I wanted to tell Phoebe to break a leg on her performance, but I think she's had enough broken legs to last her a lifetime.
Real nice having the girls tramp through the 2 inches of snow in their fancy dancy little shoes, with the wind and snow blowing their perfect hair-do's that I spent some time on.
Eh, no big deal, they survived. Or should I say I survived. It's no big deal to them.
Phoebe was the angel Gabriel. She did a great job. "Greetings you who are highly favored" (her first line) Her next lines were way to long, and I don't know them. Read Luke 1:28-37 if you want to know the rest of her lines. :o)
Abby sang some songs and did some reading from the bible. She did a great job too.
And how can a school program be complete without a kid peeing on stage?
No, not one of my kids. Poor kid. I felt bad. Still do.
So I came home and shoveled. Of course it only snows when Perry is out of town.
I have had night sweats lately. How gross are those!? Oh the pleasures of late womanhood.
All I want for Christmas is pajamas made out of Sham-Wow material.
Go along with me here...here's my commercial.

Tired of those nasty night sweats waking you up at all hours of the night?
Sick of changing pajamas and undies, and sheets at 3 a.m.?
Do you finally want a full nights sleep?
Then you need the new Sham-Wow pajamas!
Made from the same material that sops up gallons of water with one quick swipe.
Now you can sleep in peace and comfort knowing that when those nasty night sweats come, you will stay warm and dry.
No more waking up just as every pore of your body is spewing out buckets of sweat, and whatever other body fluids.
The Sham-Wow pajamas will soak up that sweat the instant it leaves your body.
Say goodbye to restless nights, sweat soaked everything, and start enjoying the rest and dryness that the Sham-Wow pajamas will give.
Buy them for yourself, or for that special woman that lay next to you at night. (because you know, that if these night sweats occur when you're in bed she will roll over to your side to avoid the wet sheets on her side)
Just $19.99. But wait! Act now and receive 2 pair of Sham-Wow pajamas for the one low price of $19.99. But wait! Call in the next 5 minutes and we will throw in this portable mini fan for those hell fire hot flashes. Call now!

I need to start sewing now. I could make millions!

Anyway, that's what's happening around here.
Goodnight. I hope.

This is all I have

I was all ready to post about our fun time picking out pumpkins last weekend, but then this happened to Abby...
so I didn't get any pictures of the pumpkin pick-out fun.

All I got was this picture on our way to picking out pumpkins...
Thrilling huh?

Maybe this will stir your thrill buds...
I clicked on Weatherbug and come to see that it's quite hot out. I believe we should be dead with this heatwave. And to think we didn't even turn our air conditioner on. And a low of 32! Wow. Wisconsin weather is so unpredictable. ;o)

Wordless Wednesday (with a few words)

Love the dollar section at Target!

Ads from Yesteryear

I found these old ads at a news web sight. Some I remember. All are just bad!

No mister, your "darling" is so crocked on the beer that she forgot about supper cooking and that's why it's burned.


She is the neighbor of the beer guzzling, supper burning lady. They have no lives during the day, so they drink beer and bad coffee all day. This lady really likes when her husband comes home and discovers that she doesn't "store-test" for fresher coffee. Don't feel sorry for her.

This baby grew up to be the burned supper lady.

Done with such tact, don't ya think?

Way too cool. Learn to do "The Skate", buy one of these awesome shirts, in a variety of awesome colors, then "cut loose" on the dance floor with some hot babe. Don't forget to buy the plaid belt too.

Excuse me...groovy looking men? There's a hot babe behind you in a bikini! Or does nothing come between you and you striped Levi's?

Brittany Spears' Great-Grandma.

Yes, Papa is one good daddy!

"Fits so tight it shows all you've got... you're a walking turn-on."
You had me at "one easy piece"

They're thinking about the one easy piece man above.

Made to be worn in with the one easy piece jumpsuit.

Darn..summer is almost over and I forgot to do some extra smoking.

The rattle was invented shortly after this ad was placed.

Oh please... remember these woman can open beer bottles, they surely can open a ketchup bottle. They don't want to ruin their lovely manicures.

Then I suggest you ladies let them buy it, open it, cook it, serve it, wash the dishes, and put them away too. You sit and relax with your beer.

If buying me a "Spindizzy" will make me look like her than I want one.

I'm soooo done with the 30 Day Shred. Hello Lucky Strikes!

My dog can stay thin too.


Eve, you've been deceived once again.

The beginning of the Ipod.

I LOVED these! I would save my nickle and go buy a pack. Beer we had in the fridge, but when I wanted a sparkling drink, I went for the Fizzies. Note: my parents would not let me have beer when I was a kid. That was saved for my beer drinking, dinner burning mom and my wife spanking dad. ;o)

Vitamins, shmidavins. I don't believe her for a second.

Um...what?! Hopefully Tipalet's are off the market, and women have gotten smarter.

Cartooons

Got these in an e-mail. Thought they were cute.

Wordless Wednesday

Amen sister!

And we plan on keeping it that way! :oD

Why? (in pictures)

My week of seeing things around the house and asking myself "why".


why must it be 6 degrees outside and 66 degrees inside? 666 is not a fun number!


why must my children "eat" the straw after they drink?


why do teddy bears need to use the toilet?


and my personal favorite... why does Ken never have pants on?

Ouch Ken, ouch!
