Friday Funnies

Here are a couple of the things that made me giggle this week ~

The other night  I made a new recipe for dinner.  It was some mexican casserole dish I found on Pinterest.  We said "grace" and began to eat.  This little girl:

Looked at me quite seriously and replied, "It's ok Mom, but it's kind of insipid."

Ummmmm WHAT?!  Little 6th grade smarty pants :)

Second giggle of the week.

Yesterday at preschool, each student was individually asked what they were thankful for.  Many children replied with the names of siblings or simply Mom, Dad or brothers, etc.  My lovely 4 year old daughter

Said she was thankful for "dress up"

Nice.

What made you laugh this week?

Friday Facts

Ready for my factual friday?

Here are the facts of the week:

Fact:  My siblings and I achieved the element of surprise when we threw a 40th anniversary party for my parents.

Fact:  We took the kids to see Santa.   Only one child was a bit bummed when we left.  Santa wasn't so sure about the gift that was requested.

Fact:  Santa, choir (Sassy), basketball (Sassy), church, basketball (Action), shopping, football (yes, that was a Steeler victory I'm talking about) and basketball (Action's game).  These were the evening events this week (including tonight) at our house this week.

Fact:  I have a bad nagging cold with a very annoying cough.  It is also making me sort of crabby (sorry honey!)

Fact:  Finally all of the Christmas decorations are up.

Fact:  I was not very consistent in my working out this week.  I blame my cold.

Fact:  Smiley had an eye appointment yesterday.  Man that girl has come a LONG way since last spring.  Remember her eye crossing?  How about her 20/40 vision (which was typical for her age) or her broken glasses.... more than once (I think in 4 months I used the warranty 2 times, not to mention the numerous times we went back for minor and major adjustments).
Do you remember her surgery last August.  The fear of the unknown for me, wondering if we had made the right choice.  Fearing that a mistake could be made.

Well, yesterday she flew through her eye exam, doing things she hadn't done before.  You see before she couldn't see in 3D.  Yesterday though, no problem.  Before her eyes were crossed.  Not yesterday, not.at.ALL.  And before her vision was 20/40.  Yesterday she tested at 20/25.  Wow!  What a difference a few months make!

Fact:  Sassy had an enormous amount of homework last night.  The most she has had in awhile.  I love that she can sit, focus and get it done.  That makes my job as a parent so much easier.

Fact:  Action has been outside sledding and snowboarding well past dark (come on people, it gets dark before 5).  He is loving the snow and the cold.

Fact:  I'm typing this right now, at the kitchen table, in my comfy clothes and slippers, with no noise except for the spinning of the washing machine.  But, that is all about to change.  The pitter patter of little feet will soon be present.  So I am off.   Enjoy your Friday!  Hoping to get the perfect Christmas card picture tomorrow.  Wish me luck :)

My day in photos... so far

View our my bedroom window while I was snuggling with Smiley this morning (not photoshopped).

A surprise left on on the bathroom vanity from Sassy while I was showering.

She ground the beans and everything.

The view out my window after my shower.

2 hour parents meeting this morning, that I am co-leader of.

Busy making key fobs.

Laundry.

Playground pebbles on the mud room floor ~ definite sign the kids are back in school

Sassy and Action will be home very soon from school.

Tonight it's homework, softball practice and football practice.

Hope your night is fabulous!
