Tman's new game

What do these 3 items all have in common???

It's Tillman's new idea of a fun game. You throw them all down the toilet and watch them go and then run away! By the time the next person sat down to do their business, the items in question had disappeared and the only eye witness who could speak our language was Kazzlyn and she said, "he threw his ball...the white one with the green stripes." "are you sure he threw the ball down there?" "well, maybe it was the gramote" "hmmm," i replied. And we weren't really sure WHAT WAS DOWN IN THE ABYSS OF THE TOILET FLUSH TUNNEL aka the throat! SO when the plumbers snaked out the "first game piece" it was the baby bottle, then out came the squeeze toy baseball and last was the keypad of the "gramote". We all were very surprised....i think one of the plumbers mentioned that he had never seen so many things down there before! I guess there is a first time for everything!

For Tman: GAME OFF!

"and the Geography Bee Champion is...'

STOCKTON HUISH!!!!!! We are all stunned over here, (yes, even stockton...he couldn't believe he was even in the geography bee) because he has really struggled with his maps this year and his teacher makes people who get less than 85% on their map tests join her map clubs and they GET to stay in at recess and discover how much they love maps and studying them. Well i guess being in THAT map club TWICE this year thus far paid off....thanks Ms. Kocher!!! Congrats Stockton! U ROCK! incidentally, the winning answer was Kansas and after he won he asked me (with no knowledge of the wizard of oz) "mom, can i GO HOME early now" hee hee! Now he gets to compete in April on the state level, etc. and you should have seen his face when the moderator told him he gets to study over the winter break to prepare for the big test in April.....his chin probably dropped a mile in shock! He thought he was done....priceless!

CHOCOLATE PUDDING ANYONE???

Does anyone remember those Bill Cosby pudding commercials???? hadn't even crossed my mind until this happened!!! I don't really have anything catchy to say, so just enjoy and have a good laugh! IT IS SAFE TO SAY, TMAN ENJOYED THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING...thoroughly!

yummy, yum, yum!!!

MOTRIN MISHAP!

Kazzlyn is only 3 1/2, but she has had more adventures in her life than ALL OF MY OTHER children put together.....AND I AM NOT JOKING! Last night we came home from Barros pizza with my fam and brother and his wife and Tman was running a fever (lovely ear infections); and so i gave him his dose of motrin....the phone rings....its my mom needing the bag of trinkets she left on the couch....i put the cap back on the medicine (or so i thought) and gave my mom her bag. Then i went back to taking care of the Tman... you know cuddling the sick one until his fever went down. After I put him to bed 45 minutes later, i also put my girls down. Then I headed off to the kitchen to try and pick up from our current remodel (that is a whole nother entry). when i went to reach for the newly bottle of Motrin i had just opened to give Tman ....I couldn't find it......ALL i COULD FIND was an empty one. OH NO! WHO DRANK THE MOTRIN? i knew who it was immediatley! it was like her guardian angels, which i believe she has an entire slew of them, were saying "Kazzlyn, go check Kazzlyn" of course i ran into her room and tried to wake her up and Stockton and i both were trying to shake her awake. i asked her if she drank the bottle (4 oz) and she says, "i don't wanna talk about it" Stockton says, "smell her face mom" so i smelled her face and sure enough she had "berry motrin" all over it. i'm sure it was even more yummy by the bottle! I was feeling pretty good about NOT having to call poison control in a while...alas....another call! i am SO GLAD its never the same person! whew! the poison control lady first says, " ok mom, calm down motrin is NOT a big deal" that is all i needed to hear....whew! IT TURNS OUT, THAT ACCORDING TO HER WEIGHT AND AGE, SHE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE AT LEAST 3-4 BOTTLES OF MOTRIN TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL! THIS ENTRY is TO INFORM ANY WHO HAVE THIS SITUATION: IF ITS A BOTTLE OF TYLENOL, YOU GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!!!! YET ANOTHER BIG WHEW! I got to see my reaction all over again when Tim walked in from his latest work road trip to Vegas and i told him she had drank a bottle of children's motrin: tim with eyes wide and ready to take to the hospital says: "the WHOLE BOTTLE?" after reassuring him like the poison control official reassured me, we both LAUGHED. THERE IS surely NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH HER AROUND!

"Sleepless in Seattle"

Tim and I had a fabulous trip to Seattle, WA over the weekend. We went with Dave and Shelle and we have made this an annual trip. The reason we go is for Tim and Dave to get a sun devil road trip in and we tag along for the ride and have a great time....NOT at the game. They always wonder what "we will ever do for four hours?" etc. Well, we have lots of fun seeing the sights, shopping the stores and finding great bargains and most of all LAUGHING....ALOT! Seattle was so nice and rainy, but not too much rain. We stayed in a hotel right on the water...called the "edgewater hotel" there is a reason for that, and we didn't know it until we saw our hotel from a distance, at a sideview.....its on stilts or wooden water legs or whatever they are called. Not sure how secure that is, but all I know is Shelle replied after seeing it..."I really DID NOT need to see that!" being the "lover of water she is" we quickly looked away and pretended to not see it, AND THEN LAUGHED SOME MORE! Pikes market is always awesome, especially if someone orders fish! Its just a great get-a-way! Now we are back and in the throws of a remodel because of a slab leak......maybe I should have stayed in Seattle and Slept....oh well!!!! pictures are sure to come!
