TeegerD's Mohawk


TeegerD's Mohawk:
Well, he didn't want to get it cut and he sure as heck didn't want to let me take a decent picture of it, but tomorrow at church my little person number 3 will be sporting a new doo. After months and months of preparation, it is finally here! I don't know if you remember him cutting his own hair back in November? That was when we were planning to do it the first time. For putting up such a fight, he sure stood in front of the mirror admiring himself for a long time. Now he's down for a nap...afterall, gotta get some beauty sleep. These looks don't come nature (well, maybe they do...after all people say he looks like me...snicker) Off to pick that gift up... Smooch (spellcheck is still down-sorry)

Boycott Krispy Kremes - Emily is HOT NOW!


This morning Em got up early to drive all the way across town to get her poor kiddos heart shaped Krispy Kremes. The sign said they would be there. She promised the kids and she strives to deliver. She went through the drive thru to get them and stopped to check to see if the order was right. (In case you don't know, that means she stopped to sneak one, shovel it in, brush the crumbs off, and lick her sticky fingers, AND THEN proceed home. But Wait! What is this? They weren't heart shaped. The drive through line was stinkin long, full of soon to be disappointed people who were there for their heart shaped donuts as well. She didn't want to wait in the line so she gets I.S.J. out of the car and goes in. Mind you, it was really early and she had thrown her hair up in a clip and was still wearing her jammies! She went in and stood patiently in THAT line and when it was her turn she politely told the lady that she didn't get heart shaped donuts. The stupid lady flipped around and snapped at my favorite barista. She said "We had someone quit this morning and we didn't have time to make them." But real mean like. Are you envisioning it? Can you believe anyone would snap at Em? I mean, next to Julia S, I don't really know a nicer person. So she picked up her donuts, walked out, put the donuts in the front seat, strapped in I.S.J., climbed in the driver's side, and broke down into tears. To top it all off, when Scott found out she was getting donuts, he told her about his plans to make her breakfast in bed, which didn't work out because she promised to get the kiddos those stupid donuts. I'm sorry to those of you who think the word "stupid" is a curse word. When Em first told me the story and how she wanted to call everyone and tell them to boycott KK my first response was "I love you but you've got to be kidding-It's KK your talking about" After some reflection I have seen the error of my ways and have hoisted my pickett sign on my shoulder.

Heck No!
Keep your Do!
nuts

Um Still working on the fierce protest chant!

Embarrassment is the Best Medicine

I don't pride myself on being a mean mom. But you have to get these kids to do the right thing some how. So here it is: I told them that if they kept shoving stuff behind the couch I was going to stop being embarrassed by it and expose their behavior to the world. At the time I didn't have this blog. My plan was to mass produce my propaganda and have them distributed by airplane over the central Indiana area (I guess that's not the whole world, but it is the world as it pertains to them). However, after checking into everything, to hire a maid would be more cost effective. But NOW I have a tool in which I can carry out my evil plot. If you see my kids make sure you stop them and let them know how gross it is to have moldy bread and orange peals behind your couch. I also found a love letter to a boy at church that Calla was composing. She doesn't know I have it. You wanna know who it's to? All in good time, people, all in good time. MUUWAHAHA.

Glorious Gummy Bear Morning

Hallelujah! This morning I opened a bag of gummy bears, dumped them on my desk, looked down and Hallelujah (I'd sing, but I don't sing that well - ask the choir members who sit in the back row with me.) The bag was comprised of 52% orange gummy bears! Trust me, I did the calculations in ratio to the fact that there are 18 gummies in a serving and 2 and a half servings per bag. Of course, that extra half serving is usually wasted on green gummies. Here are the red ones watching on as there previous cohabitants have their heads bit off. One of them is out of line. He's next! This picture is a little blurry. I actually went back to take a better picture and they had all crawled off the desk and are hiding in the bathroom somewhere. I can't see them, but I hear them snickering!
