Random Tuesday: Horrors, Fruit, Critters, and Personal Assistants

randomtuesday

Yep another Tuesday! as Keely says it just sneaks up on you!


Let's see random??

went to a yard sale/garage sale on Saturday, you now they are out for the $$ when they are selling used backpacks? those things only usually wear out in 8months! and school is almost 10months.

Wait a second, school is as long as pregnancy? I wonder who planned that? and why can't we plan pregnancies in the same time frame so no one is sweating off their bellies in the heat of summer. Yep I think mother nature needs work on this plan

Strawberries! as big as your head? no but doesnt this one look like that plant in the Little Shop of Horrors?


What made me think that giving my kids Styrofoam Swords was a good idea? they are constantly whacking each other and everything in the house. The dramatic scenes though are amusing.

Mr5 was motioning that "hand guy" (hand that always gets him in trouble) was slicing off his Mr5's head? so he falls to the floor, I see it but make no mention of it so he lifts both feet in the air, farts loudly and flops! the feet down, and then his tongue is hanging out "dead". I think it's time for drama class or acting lessons? death scene complete with life's final fart?

the deer haven't been back, but I saw something that looks very much like Stacy's rat! along my back fence. I'm going to ignore this completely. Where oh where are my neighbours 3 outdoor cats when I need them? 

friend calling... chatting chatting complaining about kids not listening, what to do with kids while trying to enjoy summer. You know everything I whine about here too?

Mr5 is putting a Video tape in now. I wonder how he'd do if I got him to put in a exercise Video? anyone remember the Reebo k Caribbean Work outs? haha ah the 90's!  Is it just me or did it seem like the ones working out were just having a big 3yrlong honeymoon with more then one bride involved?Maybe it was only on the Canadian TSN?

Oh update on the potato plants? mr5 planted? We have another sprout! I'll have to take more pictues! he said "I think the worm we put in there pushed it up?" hahah


Has anyone seen mr8.5's Nintendo DS? anyone? come on I can't be the only one looking? and it can't just Vanish? he didn't take it to school. It's not in the laundry, under the sofa, in the sofa cushions or behind the TV stand. It's not in all the places I put it when it's in time out either... it just vanished?

Mr8.5 went to a birthday party this past weekend. He baked a cake, make pizza and a craft and got to take the cake home! win win!


Oh and the cat was helping me read the other night...
yeah I didn't need to read that part of the page? No Oh you've got it read already? some may note this is A Harry Potter book? Aura really got into it, but wanted to read the page before I did? Cats! they call these "personal assistant cats" when advertising this personality on the morning radio shows.


OK that's enough babble and photos too. I think you're bored enough, want more random, go on over to Keely's and hop your way through the list of links.

I've always wondered about the school year being as long as a pregnancy and wondered who made that decision... ;)

YUM! Strawberries!! I need to get some and make cobbler and jam.

Princess Nagger can be deadly with her Styrofoam sword, too - unfortunately since she has no siblings I get to be on the receiving end. Drama class definitely sound like a perfect idea! ;)

Hopefully the outdoor cats will scare away the rat you might have skulking about - we thought the weasel would eat the rats, but apparently the rats scared the weasel away. One down, one to go! :)

I must have luck with back packs. I bought one for college and it lasted a good 15 years. I bought a second one about 8 years ago and it is still holding up (even when I bring stuff back and forth to work five days of the week).

Were there cats in the chapter you were reading? If so, that would explain Aura's anxiousness to read it before you did.

Happy RTT!

My cat used to chew the edges of the book to get my attention.

We planted potatoes last year and got about six small potatoes. We are going for zucchini this year.

So many comments!
Love you cat helping you read.
Oh and the DS missing gave me flashbacks. I got so desperate I finally put a $5.00 reward on the darn thing. Who ever found it was also given the money. Worked like a charm. My kids turned the house upside down and found it wedged behind the mattress in oldest daughters room!
best 5 bucks I ever spent")

Yummy, strawberries! Swords are fun -- they bring out the inner child in me!! You should give them a go!

Liz Mays said...

The cake is adorable and I really, really hope that wasn't Stacy's rat you saw! That thing was nasty!

Hi Kooky said...

That strawberry just needs some eyes! You just crack me up with these random posts. Especially the final death fart scene. LOL! And yeah - I hope that wasn't a RAT!

Your cat is cute and I just love big strawberries too. My kids usually fight over the biggest ones. Have a wonderful day!
