Avoided it this long...

Shelli must love me. She put me at the top of her tagging list. Connie the homeschooler is how she put it. Are you desperate, woman? And to clarify, homeschooling is cool. Everyone is jealous. And I am NOT weird. :)

The Odds

So, my Sister-in-law gave a challenge to post the 6th picture out of my 6th folder in my picture file and blog it. The odds of it being this rascal are pretty high considering he gets the most camera time. I suppose he is the one in trouble and instead of beating him, we laugh and take a picture. A constant demand is "Blanket & Cup". No questions asked. We have evolved to using a sippy cup that he cannot bite the end off of. Self-confession: I'm really glad the rug is clean in this picture!

Amen!

So my 2 year just said, "Hey Mom, I need some chocolate!"

More Words of Wisdom from Rusty

"When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag himself."

"He who hesitates is probably doing the right thing."

"Did you ever notice that the Roman Numerals for forty (40) are 'XL'."

My list of friends

Apparently, my list of friends is getting smaller. Every week someone new blocks me out of their blog. I miss checking in on all of you. I hope you are well.

From the desk of Rusty

"The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends."

"Did you ever notice: When you put the words 'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs'."

"Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.

Today, it's called golf."
