Think it Thursdays

101. When was the last time you went to the doctor? Do you like your doctor?

Sad to say it would’ve been back in 2007 when I had my last child, Yes I know I should go back but its a lot of working finding a sitter, hoping I will be back before I need to take my son to school and more. Some day soon I will make it.  Did I like my OB"’so sure, they were all nice, but really who likes going to those apses??

 

201. My back is itching, will you scratch it for me?

Sure why not.

 

301. Do you have nice handwriting?

I would have to say no. But sometimes it seems “neater” than others.

 

401. We are sending you to either New Zealand or Canada, which one do you choose?

I would choose New Zealand. I have been to Canada when I was younger and plus Canada is maybe 5-6 hours away so If I really wanted to go it would be do able where New Zealand, I doubt I would ever get there.

 

501. Do you sing in the shower?

No, I like my quiet. Seems like I do my best thinking in the shower.

 

601. Have you ever been streaking? If so, how far did you streak and did anyone see you?

No!! I think I would scare everyone and they would go running the other way.

 

701. How soon is too soon for Christmas decorations and music playing in the stores?

Right now. I was in Hobby Lobby and they have their Christmas stuff out already.

 

801. If you celebrated Halloween as a kid what was the costume you wore at 5?

Man you really want me to remember that far?!?!!?  Well maybe Strawberry Shortcake or Rainbow Brita,  I do know that is when costumes were still plastic and when you put them over your coat they would rip.

 

901. How many cavities have you had in your life?

Who knows. Too many I guess

 

1001. Berlin and Bud come to Arizona to visit Limber. Who do you think will decide it's too hot here first?

Not sure

 

1101. Who do you think will ask TT questions next week?

Choose ME, Choose ME

school days

Wow I can’t believe the kids have been in school for about 3 weeks and I am just getting around to this post! All 3 kids went to school this year.  I took Katey to school first. She was excited to see all her friends, meet her new teacher, and see her new class room.  Its crazy to sit back and think that I have a 2nd grader already! I still remember sitting down in the living room and watching her “cook” a bunch of potatoes. 

 

school days 002 

Katey right before we left to go to school. I try to make the kids hold a sign every year so it would be easier for me to remember what grade they were in.

Katey and her best friend, Maddie.  Katey at her desk

 

After getting back home from dropping off Katey it was time to load Jacob up. I can’t believe I sent my baby off to school this year also. If he wasn’t so delayed in his speech due to his ear infections I don’t think he would’ve gone to school this year.  He was somewhat excited about staring school until he learned that I wasn’t going to stay.  Since he is going to school for special education he gets to ride the bus this year.

 

 school days 008

all ready to go but not too happy either.

 

school days 012

Look a bus!!

 school days 016 school days 017

Jacob coming off the bus on his first day! He still get excited every day when he gets off the bus, I just love it!!

 

school days 032

Since I drove him his first day, he got to ride the bus to and from school on his second day.  Looking out the window waiting.

 

school days 033

Come on ma, I think its coming!

school days 036

Mom your coming also right?!?! waiting for the bus is cool until you realize he has to go alone.

 

school days 038

Not a happy camper!! He has gotten a lot better about getting on the bus now. 

 

 school days 025

Last but not least, we have Camron. He goes in the afternoon so I had a friend come over so I was able to take him.  He now has a good buddy named Sam at school. He climbed into the van today and told he that he now has a girlfriend. I asked him how did he know that she is his girlfriend, “she asked me to play, and I said sure why not?” But he doesn’t remember what her name is or what she looks like! He better step it up if he wants to keep this girl.

school days 031    

I wanted a picture of all 3 of them together after they got home from school but this is all that I got.

Thursday Thunks: You've Got Mail

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of Meg Ryan's Blouse and the number 33.
1. From whom did you get your last e-mail?

lets see the last email was from biggby coffee sending my my weekly coupon. Some people might say I have an addiction but I don’t think so. Good thing no one can see the biggby cup next to my laptop. lol


2. What is the most recent movie that you have seen in a theater?

I have to think really hard,  ummmm it was something around Christmas time with the kids,shoot I don’t remember

3. Have you ever seen a ghost?

No but I always thought it would be neat to. That is as long as it was a friendly Ghost not some mean ghost seeking some revenge


4. Ever loved someone so much it made you cry?

My kids when my patience level is at 0

5. What are you most afraid of?

Dying before my kids are raised


6. What do you do when you are bored?

Bored who has time to be bored with 3 kids and a daycare full of kids?!?!


7. Other than the author of this mess of a meme, who blog are you most curious to see their answers?

EVERYONES blog. I love checking everyone's out.


8. Name three thing from your bucket list.

Well I would love to sky dive, why I am not sure why anyone would want to jump out a good working plane but it sounds fun  :)

Learn how to Scuba Dive. I love water so I think it would be fun. Anyone want to pay for lessons for me?

Travel the world. But that would mean my kids are grown and maybe by then we would have money?


9. Who was the last person who complimented you on how you looked, that actually was a surprise?

My middle son, I was dressed up to go out with the girls and he looked at me and said “mama your beautiful” just made me want to cry.


10. Do you remember Berleen?

Sorry but I don't.


11. What was the last concert that you attended where the band was much better than you imagined?

I have never been to a concert. I know I never get out.


12. What’s the next band you’re either planning to see or want to?

I have plenty that I would love to go and see but don’t really have the money to go and see them. Some day right?


13. What were the last things do you imagine that Kimber threw off the roof?

Money? Who would want to throw that right??

slide on

On Thursday my cousin called me and told me that Target had a water slide on major clearance. I talked to Jerry about it. Well ok I kind-a talked him into us getting the water slide. We have soo much shade that when we have had a blow up pool the water never gets warm, or it gets popped half way thru the summer. So I am really hoping this on will last a bit longer.  Katey and I headed to Target as the boys stayed home. When we got to Target they had two left. When we got home we just left it in the back of the van since it was too late to blow it up then. Friday morning the kids helped me unload the slide in the backyard so they could use it. This thing was HEAVIER than I thought it was going to be. The begged to play in this darn thing since they got up that morning, I thought it was a bit too cold but what do I know? I think it was low 70’s but they loved it. Well ok Jacob wasn’t too big on this slide but I know he will grow into loving it.

This is the way the slide came all rolled up in the box. I called it the Cinnamon roll

I just hope we can get this slide dried out before we pack it up this year. I really don’t want it to mold. If anyone has any good idea’s how to keep it mold free thru the winter I will be happy to take the advice!!

t’was the night before school…

Tomorrow is the kids first day of school tomorrow.  Yes I wanted to do the whole rhyming thing but I am not a good at rhyming.  So this year is gonna be a busy one I think. Katey is now in 2nd grade and she goes all day(8-3:10pm) SO Jerry will drop her off before he goes to work. Camron is in young 5’s. He will go from 11:50-3:30 pm. I will have to take him in. Jacob is in special education due to all those ear infections, so he is going for the extra help with his speech. He will go 8:35-11:25 But the bus will pick him up around 8:15am and drop him off, well I guess I am not really sure since the bus driver told me that she was going to drop him off at 11:25 but that is the time school gets out.  So  I am not sure what time its gonna be. I will have to see what time he gets home so I will know if I will be picking up Jacob before I take Camron to school or wait until he gets home and then quickly load everyone up in the van, since I still have to take the daycare kids with me when I drop off Camron  and when I pick up Katey and Camron. I am excited for the kids first day of school but then also nervous for Jacob since he more attached to me than what the other two have been.  I can’t wait to take all 3 pictures tomorrow before they leave and hope to get one of all three after school. I can’t wait to have the house a tad bit quieter, but yet miss the kids all day.

Thursday Thunks: At the Zoo

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of my neighbor's wife's eyes and the number 33,333.

1. Would you rather have a pet hippo or a pet elephant?

I think i would want the elephant since you can ride them and use them to move things, but really I wouldn’t want to clean up after either of them.


2. Why do you think bananas are shaped the way they are?

Its easier for a monkey to hold?


3. In one word (OK, you can go three to four MAX) , what do most people describe you as?

kind i hope


4. Choice (stupid but a choice…): Loss of vision, ability to speak or hearing - which do you choose? (you have to choose one....) It's like a law. But we can't make you.

I would take speaking.  If you can’t speak at least you can write down what you want to say. With the loss of vision no matter what you can’t see, with the loss of Hearing, no matter what you can’t hear either. so speaking.


5. Do you like lemons? Do you use them to clean with or just as a food source? Or are you saving them up for 2012?

Not a big lemon person. If I get them in my water my kids take them.


6. When you are feeling icky with that sickness feeling, what is your first choice for feel-better medicine?

No a big medicine taker so i will suffer.


7. You are starving. You have not had anything to eat for days. In front of you is poison ivy, a live hissing cockroach, and a rotten stinky piece of some sort of mystery meat to eat. Which would you pick and why?

I think I might keep starving until something better comes up. But if I had to choose one thing I guess I would choose…….maybe the cockroach at least you can kill the darn thing and they are suppose to be good in protein or something like that


8. Who was the last person you bought a present for? What was it? Will you buy Berleen one?

It would’ve been our boys. They had bdays in June and July. I don’t remember what it was, some toy I am sure.  Well if I knew Berleen sure why not


9. Name 3 things you want your kids to learn before they grow up. (If you don't have kids, feel free to explain to the other players why you chose the “no kids“ choice. Yea. I know. (Those who have children will NEVER get it. And no, don‘t explain it…)

To respect yourself and others.   2) That mom does know more that what they think I do. lol  3) Money doesn’t grow on tree you have to work for it.


10. What was your favorite toy as a child? What happened to it?

I think they would be Barbie's. I have some upstairs in my daughters room that she has played with.


11. If you could paint your house ANY color you wanted and your friends, family & neighbors would love the color from the moment they saw it, what would it be?

I really want to paint the inside. I am tired of seeing the white/off white walls in here. The outside has siding and I love the color. Its a sagie gray color


12. If the Pillsbury Dough Boy got into a fight with Mrs. Butterworth who would win? And would anybody get hurt? And do we seem desperate even asking?

Well I think it would get sticky. I would have to say the Dough boy, every punch Mrs. Butterworth would throw would get absorbed, kind-a like punching a sponge.


13. What was the last thing you would guess that Kimber took a picture of? Oh. And consider the meme listed below. Click on it. It rocks.

Ok that was neat
