Bad luck comes in threes right???

It started out as one of those weeks. The ants go marching one by one hoorah, hoorah! Much to my dismay, they marched right into my house. Amidst dealing with those little critters, here's a bit of irony for you. Last Friday we went and purchased a new washer and dryer and refrigerator--they would be delivered Tuesday and Saturday respectively. That same night, my washer broke, like water all over the floor broke, like weird squiggly parts falling out the bottom broke. It gets better, Thursday my fridge broke, the freezer part was still working oddly enough, but the fridge side wouldn't cool below 55. I knew they were both on their last legs but what are the chances? Sigh, that's my string of bad luck. The good news all is well and wonderful yet again. My new appliances are here and are so nice! I even used the time in between to slap some paint on the walls and some wall words in the laundry room. I woke up this morning for the first time since the outbreak, and saw no ants!!! Thank you Dewey Pest Control!

Quotable Quips and Laughable Life

I decided that I wanted to add a small section with little things that my kids have said or done over the years that I never want to forget and I think are worth sharing. Unfortunately I was much better at writing these things down a bit late in the game....Chelsie steals the show here a bit. If only I could remember all those things I thought I'd never forget. I hope you take my challenge to write down all those things you hope to pass on one day.

When Chelsie was about 2 she had been jumping on my brand new couch, so I promptly told her to stop jumping on the nice furniture. Her response was very logical. "Then where's the mean furniture?"

While camping in the Sequoias, the entrance sign read, "1 bear incident this week...." Kelly mispronounced it as 1 bear accident....later in the bathroom, Chelsie noticed wet spots on the floor, and announced, "This must be where the bear had the accident."

We had a family home evening on choosing the right, and we thought Chelsie understood but when we asked her she said, "Yes, don't choose the left!"

When Kelly was in the 5th grade, she needed to use the classroom phone to call me. She dialed 9 to get an outside line, then she had to dial 1 because I have a long distance cell phone number, but she accidently hit the 1 twice. When the 911 dispatcher answered she was scared and just hung up. 5 minutes later the front office called the classroom stating that 3 sheriffs had arrived ready to take action and were wanting to know who called and why. Now it was by sheer coincidence that this was a morning that there was a prison breakout, so officers were on high alert. Kelly was embarrassed then, but can laugh about it now!

When Wes was about 4, he used to tell everyone that he was going to marry his friend Elizabeth, and that they were going to have 16 kids, and maybe a car.

When Chelsie was 3 1/2 we told her she needed to learn to spell her name. She responded, "I already know....A L I Z A."
(That was her best friend who taught her)

I was talking with my girls about the weather, and Kelly said, that stupid beaver was wrong, spring is not around the corner. Chelsie then chimed in, it's not a beaver, it's a warthog. Clearly I have failed them.
