For Only $39.99

While we were at Bass Pro we found the neatest thing. You see, since Kennedy and Reagan were in office more recently then McKinley, we hear their names a lot more. We do however see McKinley as a street name more than Kennedy and Reagan. But hearing your name said on tv doesn't really compare to reading it on a street sign. Poor little thing.

But this helped.Even though she apparently has a Suede/Kylon Upper, a Cushioned Footbed, and a Rubber Outsole, she was still very excited.

It's the little things:)

Well This Is Interesting

Just when I thought adding a captcha to make a comment on my blog would keep me from getting trash...I get this.


BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women

http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/

I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal
half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to
have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with
American women?

American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!


I didn't click on the link. But I did delete the comment.

Don't even get me started on some American men. Most of which I dated before I found my wonderful husband:c)

Please visit my virtual friend Nicki's blog to read what she said to this man. She said what I wish I had!!

How Did I Miss These??

So maybe because I'm behind on laundry....I missed this.

But how in the world did I not see these until Shawn bumped his head into one?? I'm in the kitchen every single day. Several times a day. And three days later...they're still there.

What?? I don't know where the box is they go in.

Okay, okay...but I know where the attic is that they go in.

Getting up now.

Snowklahoma

You never know what type of weather we'll get in Oklahoma. Last week we had a day that was 60 degrees.

Today, ice and snow. Yep, welcome to Snowklahoma.

Sadly, as is much of the snow in Snowklahoma, it didn't stick. To the roads or most of the ground that is. It did stick to trees, some grass, and most of the stuff in our backyard. I knew the moment I purchased four pairs of rain boots it would be a dry year. When I came home with three snow sleds, I knew we'd not get any sort of snow accumulation. Such is the story of my life. So today must be just to tease me. But you know what? I wore my rain boots. Take that.

Here are a few pictures my Nifty Fifty and I took together.
I'm glad I took pictures. I doubt we'll see anymore.

Half Birthday

On April 23rd, 1985 I sat at my most favorite teachers desk on my birthday lunch date. As just the two of us enjoyed our special time I made a remark I would later regret. "Mrs. Unruh, when I grow up and get married and have children, I will never have one born in the summer because they wouldn't get to do this." At the time, I meant it. With all my heart.

12 years later when I was staring at another negative pregnancy test, I'd forgotten all about that. Several months later I forgot all about math and held my fertility prescription in my hand. The next month I was pregnant and just so overjoyed that I didn't think about a July due date.

So what did I do?? I had a child born in the summer. But at that point, I was just glad I'd been able to have another one. McKinley was a big surprise, and Kennedy was over a year of trying. Go figure. (We did pick a cool birthday though. 7-8-99)

Having a summer birthday has its advantages though. She's always had a pool party and her sisters have had to postpone parties to have a pool party. But when half the people can't come, it is a bit disappointing. And several years we haven't even been here on her birthday. But celebrating in Colorado has been fun.

Since she'll never be able to celebrate at school we often do a half birthday party. I've served half cupcakes and drawn 1/2 on birthday balloons. It is unique:D But now that she's in middle school, that's not cool anymore. So this year we went to Pop's after school today. Since Shawn was still at work we bought him this one. He grew up not too far from the Blue Whale.I went with something different this time...never a good idea for me. I went to the red section and was going to get my usual Diet Black Cherry but was distracted by the retro type and the cool shape of the bottle.
Sadly after a few drinks I saw the word Splenda on the side. Dadgumit. If I'd wanted to ingest chlorine I would have just gone out to the pump house and eaten it with a spoon. I payed for it later.

The girls chose their drinks while I secretly ordered this. Cailee was surprised:)

After we were stuffed we headed down to the red barn so I could impress them with it and take one of my all time favorite pictures.

Each time I'm there I'm amazed. The bottom floor is a gift shop with tons of information to be read. But upstairs you'll find this. Hand written and drawn.

Love it. Oh, and my favorite picture?

There it is.Happy half birthday Chickadee!!
