Random Tuesday, it's all about ME being the Aunt

Welcome To Tuesday, go on click the button, go get one and link up to Keely's. 

Remember yesterday when I said I will never understand boys? well Boys they are Boys! My 5yrold just ran up to me hopped up on my leg with his butt in the air and FARtED!  BOY!!! I will never escape being a Mom of boys!  I Blame their Father! and the Reading of Captain Underpants (novels).

Another Boy thing just now "Mom Where's my pig?" huh~ oh piggy bank? Why? theres nothing to put in it. 


My Sister had a Baby Boy Sunday! YAY! She now has 2 boys, hehe My younger Sister says "My Rugby Team of Nephews is coming along nicely" I just laughed!

Little WDW looks exactly like his older brother, from the pictures I've seen. Poor me the Aunt, the important Aunt (not the younger sister and her dreams for Rugby domination) is not going to get to meet him until the Summer, when I again try my hand at single Parenting in the back woods of the Island.


Oh but with a bunch of boys around, maybe they should all learn to change tires? Yes I think this will be the summer or Tire Changing lessons.


My Niece is probably going to be the most excited,she's the reigning princess. She'll stay the princess! HaHA! !!

WDW didn't have a name Sunday, but now does, No they didn't name him Walt Disney World. Tempting though isn't it? 


It's raining again today. TJ is home "sick" Hubbie went to wake him for School this morning but he was coughing up a storm. I suspect he'll have Hubbie's sleeping problems. Apnea sucks!


Yesterday in Critter Counting, we were counting birds. Last Saturday we saw a Woodpecker, so I went off looking up pictures. It turns out there is 1 that is extinct and wow this guy looks like him. I'll have to invest hop off to the $ store for binoculars.

MJ is addicted to NickJr games online. He's singing the songs without the page being booted up! Right now he's trying to crack my pass word on my laptop.

You know if I died or got hit by a bus today/tomorrow any day? What would be out there in internet space without passwords? What would show up? Would anyone be here reading? Oh yes the Zombies as noted by Keely would.


So we're at the end of the grocery run here, I've got to get more tomorrow. Yesterday, the boys were due home, they are always hungry, so I made cinnamon buns. 3 boys from 5-10yrs old, ate 9/12 buns, I managed to barely save one for hubbie. Where does it go? oh then i found their school lunches from yesterday, sandwiches still in the bag. ugh!


Burn is almost back to regular color, just 4 pinker then usual and stripey. Is Stripey a word? wait spell check on Firefox says... Firefox is wrong.... and Stripey is  stripy... okay now we know. It also doesn't like ok, OK is fine and Ok is not, and okay is great. oh boy.

Darn it Boys again! will I ever escape Boys? oh but the cat is girly, she's lazing on the bed waiting for someone to come pet her, that's my girl!

(Behave)


Been reading that The Tales of the Beedle The Bard. (spin off from Harry Potter?) and it's borrrrrrrrrrring, no wonder it was only 94cents!

yawn, even I'm yawning... I guess I should just stop typing. It's been 2 days in a row, maybe I can pull off a post tomorrow too?  BTW did you know that it's a short week? Thursday AND Friday off! what happened to school?

VGNO Summer Nights with Naughty Nancy

Sassy Sue, I mean Ann from AnnandAnnagain, is holding her Virtual Girls Night Out. This week I'm in. I got a bit of time tonight. I've not started on the Rum yet, that's next. Hubbie and The oldest are watching the New Batman which I didn't have any interested in so I'm here. Pass me a Drink?

Ann's theme tonight is Grease! School's Out in her neck of the woods. Here, we're still dodging the Bears to catch the bus in the morning. I just realized that part, oops! I'm trying to figure out what to do next Friday with Boys. It's tempting to throw money at the problem but it would be more like throwing plastic, so I'll have to think careful. They seem to be out relatively early this year. Other years they've gone right up until the 25-26ish. Tonight though I'll enjoy my drinks.
Let me see, Ann's mixing Pink Ladies, so I'll Spike some Watermelon. (it's Pink)
While I'm looking for the Spike take a minute to browse the party Game and pick out your Pink Lady name. (searching for HUGE ass Knife)
"If I Were A Pink Lady..."

Let's get our Pink Lady jackets and sew on our new names. My name starts with an 'A' so my Pink Lady name is Sassy Sue. Follow the chart to find your Pink Lady name.

A - D = Sassy Sue
E - H = Blogger Babe
I - L = Smokin' Molly
M - P = Naughty Nancy
Q - T = Hot Rod Helen
U - Z = Greased Lightning Gertie


(shuffle shuffle shuffle through cutlery Drawer...)

OK here we go...Spiked Watermelon Thank you Recipezaar. You know you can find anything with the help of the great googley moogley. Ah here's the knife....Naughty Nancy with a knife, that works!

10lbs of watermelon,
3 cups of Vodka

Cut A hole in the top of the Watermelon besure to make a plug,
Poor as much of the Vodka as you can into the hole, plug it up..... "stop drinking all teh Vodka... now I have to remeasure... now how many cups... wait you drank a cup already or you put a cup already into the watermelon... someone hold this and someone else hold that blogger over there...." (points to swaying reader)

OK now I'll go visit while we wait the 4hours for this to set. I really should have started this at 2pm, I'd be nicely tanked by 3, and the watermelon would be ready by 6pm!


So now for some food cause I'm seriously starving, I skipped the supper that was offered here by the cook (me), so I'll have to make some BBQ chicken legs, nothing says Summer like BBQ chicken legs and if I remember Grease, didn't some of those guys from the "Blue Moon" Scene have chicken legs?






These were super easy to make, I just baked the legs in a corning ware dish in the oven, then put them on the BBQ for the last 10minutes or so with Diana Chicken and Rib sauce. The red label one is excellent! I also use if for my BBQ chicken pizza. I usually just throw my dough incredients in the breadmaker, water liquids on the bottom, then dry on top and yeast the very top. After the BBEP I dress those pizzas up with this sauce, and grilled chicken slathered in this sauce, mozzerella, red and green peppers, black olives, red onions, and some times hot pepper flakes and hot peppers. Bake at 425 or 450 depending on how hungry, and hte cheese gets to where you like it. You know these posts are harder when your hungry. Now I'm going to make this with a pita bread crust for supper. (waiting for the watermelon.....chug)

Now we need some music while we wait and George cooks my chicken....




Waiting for George and Diana to get their acts together....




Happy VGNO all! With a Title like this I'm going to have to get out my Wiggley Eyes

It's getting exciting here,

So it's mid to end of November here, and it's Getting close to US Thanksgiving. The neighbours to the south are getting all drooly over Turkey sites, while me little miss (hahaha I said little) Canada is up here thinking of all the things I haven't done yet for the end of December. I went to my WW meeting last night that's where I talk about my ass and it's size and where it should be and how it's not where I put it last week and so forth. I'm up 2lbs of Birthday goodness from that Holiday I Self Proclaimed for the 16th of November. oops! I guess that's what I get for bragging about my rings falling off? Maybe some good quality water drinking will fix it.
Today the boys have no school, who ever thought that having all the conference days for teachers during the school year was a good idea, should re-assess. There are grand scale discussions going on right now in 1 boy bedroom on the size and shape of a car track and his ability to make his cars go faster then they are rated for without falling off the track. I think he's telling everyone not in the room with his play by play. There are 2 boys in the living room discussing in elevated voices as only a 9yr old and almost 4 yr old can do, about how the singing on Mickey Mouses' 3 Musketeers is not as good at the shriek... I mean singing of some HSM peoples. I think both are wrong what we really need is a good low key dosing of White Christmas, ahh Bing you really do make life look so much easier. How is it that you set up a huge STAGE show in about a weekend while the rest of us struggle to with costume changes for the white that is about to fall at some point.
I was actually surprised that the white didn't show up Sunday, it's something I've counted on for the last 30++++++ years but nope none, it was rain rain rain. I'll have to find the pictures I took of the construction site in our back yard. If only my brain could figure out how to get the pictures from TJ's Camera on to My computer. I will figure that out.
