You Think Kids Say the Darndest Things???.......Well,...

...Just wait 'til they put it in writing and get graded for it!!!

I was going through the mountain stack of school papers CuriousGeorge and MonkeyButt put on the counter last night and found: "About Myself" by MonkeyButt.**'' **duh, name change.

Chapter 1, How Old: I am seven years old and have one sister and five brothers. MonkeyGirl is my only sister, and MonkeyBoy is my teenage brother. Then there's CuriousGeorge, SpiderMonkey, MonkeySee, and MonkeyDo (my little brothers).

Chapter 2, What I Look Like: I have light brown hair, blue eyes, tan skin, and brown eyebrows.

Chapter 3, How Old Are My Parents and Other People in My House: My dad is 33, my mom is 27. My sister is 14, my brothers are 12, 6, 2, 1, and 1.

Chapter 4, What My Parents Do: My dad drives a big truck all day. But my mom sits on our couch, on the computer or watching Guiding Light TV.

Chapter 5, My Birthday: I was born on January 11, 2001. I was born in Monkeyville Medical Center.

Chapter 6, Favorite Foods: I like tacos, spaghetti with meatballs, and cereal.

THE END

Well, this is OBVIOUSLY a fictional story or else the word bon-bons would have been included!!!

The moral of the story folks...someday your child will be in 3rd grade and will have to write something like this, so you better start brainwashing training prepping them on all the wonderous duties of being a sahm now!

;o)

How Appropriate...and WW pics

I just realized we had a mini monkey theme in our halloween costumes this year...*snicker* How appropriate, eh? SpiderMonkey and MonkeyDo were...monkeys (duh!), and MonkeySee was a banana.

Playing at Nana's, pre- TOT

Taking a break while Trick-or-Treating

The car ride home...sockless and sticky with pop tarts...mmmm.

And CuriousGeorge and MonkeyButt were obviously not into the whole monkey theme this year. For Trick-or-Treating and parties, they were Yoda and Darth Vader...and for the Cub Scout pack meeting, they were Thing 1 and Thing 2 as book characters.

Cellular Phone Commercials, much?

KingKong had the older two boys outside kicking the soccer ball around. CuriousGeorge was blindsided by a groin shot from his dad. He was not impressed. CuriousGeorge to KingKong...

"That's it. You are SO outta my Top 5."

Grilling Goodness (?s, not food)

I was catching up with UTMomof5's posts and decided to take part in Grilling Goodness... a weekly meme of random ?s created by Tina at Golden Goodness. If you decide to participate, she has a Mr. Linky up! What's better than someone else coming up with some material for you on a weekly basis? Chocolate, obviously...but this is good, too!!

1. The World Series has begun...do you watch it? (and do you care who wins?)
No, I don't watch it. I have in the past, when the Red Sox played, but usually only the final game of the series...just like I only watch the Super Bowl. That's the one that really matters, right?!

2. Is the inside of your car clean or 'garbage dump filthy'?
Ha. The inside of my car is more like 'garbage disposal' filthy...cuz most of it is petrified french fries food in small pieces.

3. Who is the next person in your family to have a birthday?
MonkeyBoy and MonkeyButt both have January birthdays...birthday "season" is Summer around here.

4. Do you wear glasses or contacts? (how old were you when it became necessary?)
Neither, although I prolly should.

5. What is your major form of exercise?
I recently signed up for a gym membership. *sigh* If only signing up and paying monthy took off the lbs! I try to go M, W, and F after KingKong gets home and the littles are in bed... emphasis on try.

6. What is something you could do to make your spouse's day easier today?
Eh, hem, let's just call it "stress relief," m'kay?

7. How much is gas where you are?
We hi-fived at $2.59 the other day. Although one of the stations south of here had it at $1.99 for a few hours as a promotion...too bad the news told us about it the day AFTER.

8. What the furthest away from home that you've ever traveled?
My dad was a truckdriver and when I was younger, I would pack up my homework and go on the road with him. I <3 San Antonio, TX.

(Not So) WW--I'm Working On It!!

I think I might be purposely subconsciously avoiding blogging lately, because I have quite a task ahead of me. KingKong purchased a new laptop for me, as the other was literally hanging by a thread...the wire that goes from the screen to the processor was the only part attached (oops).

Anyhow, before I can visit your blogs...ALL your blogs...I have to enter them each by url and save them to my favorites list on my new computer. I promise to start soon tomorrow Thursday by the weekend, definitely!

Here you all are

And here...

I can't wait to catch up!!
