Models!!!

I saw the funniest thing this morning at 4 am. Of course I was up, couldn't sleep again. When I turned on my computer, my Yahoo page always comes up and then are always trying to get you to watch a video. So this one looks interesting, it says 'Model falls'. I always think that would be funny. So I hit this clip, at first this guy is like break dancing or some new kind of hip hop thing, well he does this like flip and I think he lands wrong, so he makes this little hole in the floor. This is the important part, the hole is the size of a dinner plate on the floor. So out walks this 'model', she must have been stoned. She walks right into the hole. Now you think that with a normal size person, that would mean they would get their leg caught, maybe up to their knee. Well, this 'model' went right through the whole thing, because she was so dang skinny! It was unbelievable. She was trying to get herself up out of the hole, which was nearly impossible, because it looked like her arms were made of tooth picks! I need another cookie!

The bench that my dad built.

Here is a picture of the bench my dad made and donated for the Service League Craft show. It was so cute and the lady that won it was so excited! I wonder what she is doing with these cute little boys, they were raffled along with the bench!

The Food Drive

We completed the food drive last week. It was a great success!! Our goal was 540 pounds and I was afraid that we would not get there, but we got there and some! We ended up taking 630 pounds to the Food Pantry last Wednesday, see the boys in the back of mommy's station wagon. Thank you everyone for your wonderful donations, they did a great article about the food drive in the paper, very nicely written. I should of given him my blog address! So after we took the food in, 3 more donations have been brought to the house. A young couple came to the door yesterday with about 50 pounds of food and a check for $100.00!!! WOW!!! I was so excited, the ladies at the food pantry will be so happy! So we are going over there today, to drop things off and give them the check! Now I wonder what our goal will be for next year!!!!

I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A DIVORCE ......

There was a knock at the door, I looked out the front window and saw a New Buffalo police car, oh boy, what did I do now. I went to the door and he has this big 8 x 11 envelope in his hand. I push open the screen door and he says to me, 'are you Donna Messinger?' For a minute I wanted to say 'no'. My mind was racing, why is this cop at my front door and what is he serving me with? The first thing I thought of was D-I-V-O-R-C-E! Just like the Tammy Wynette song. But I quickly thought, why would Mike ever want to divorce a catch like me? So anyway, the cop sees that I am somewhat distressed, he says to me, 'I don't have any idea what is in this envelope'. So I do a quick glance at the return address and recognize that right away, it is from the freaking Zoning Board! I was ready to have a heart attack, too funny. So he gives me the envelope and that is it. I'm a freak. I started this blog on the 17th and just getting back to it on the 23rd, I need to get a life. Well, I guess I have one that is why I am finding it hard to find time to blog.

Evan got ran over by mommy's scissors!

Well here he is, my beautiful little boy with a mommy haircut! My dad gave me these clippers about 2 months ago and I have been dying to try them out, just looking for the right victim. So on Tuesday night while I had both boys in the tub, I was reading the directions on the clippers. Evan noticed what I was looking at and very graciously said "Nicky first mommy". That from the kid who won't share a single toy with his baby brother. Anyway, I didn't do any actual clipping until Wednesday night. Evan was having a mini melt down during the haircut, he kept telling me that it hurt, but trust me there was no blood, so I know he was ok. I thought I had done a pretty good job and I couldn't stand the screaming anymore, and Nick was crawling around in the cut hair and trying to eat the cord to the clipper. So I decided we were done, Mike took both boys upstairs and put them in the shower while I cleaned up the hair. When I got upstairs and Evan's hair was wet, I was high fiving myself for doing such a good job. He went to bed happy and so did mommy. Then the next morning when his hair was dry, oh boy. Thank goodness he is a boy! It was not such a good job! But we had to go to school, so no time to get the clippers out that morning. As soon as we got to school, before the boys even had their coats off, Ms. Margaret their teacher said, "Evan you got a haircut". I couldn't help but laugh. So last night after dinner, we got back to the clipping. Evan was much more relaxed, since he knew that it was not going to hurt. Nick was in his high chair, so he was not eating the clipper cord or Evan's hair. The haircut came out much much better. He looks so different, kinda more big boyish. Which I don't really like, but just a little change. This photo is him going up the stairs last night, he looks like he is telling me to throw the clippers away! Nick is next!!!!!!! hee hee

Will I ever post again?

Oh My, it has been crazy around here! Non-stop everything. Will I ever post again. Evan had the biggest tantrum of his life this morning because I would not let him have a bowl of raisin bran. He has never even had raisin bran, how does he know that he will even like it. I wanted to put something nasty in my bowl and give him a big bite, just to show him. But I couldn't find anything close enough. So I ate my raisin bran and listened to him scream. Then 20 minutes later he asked for a piece of peanut butter toast, like no big deal!! Now we are getting ready to go to the pumpkin patch in the 80 degree weather. We'll need both bug spray and sun tan lotion today! I need to go, I smell the sweet aroma of 2 dirty diapers! Have a good day. I promise I will post later, and I will have good stuff, because I am giving both the boys haircuts tonight. I was reading about the clippers last night while the boys were in the bath tub. Evan sees what I am looking at and he says "Nicky first mommy'. Doesn't want to share a single toy with his brother, but wants to make sure he gets the worst haircut! Sweetie!

Happy Monday

Well lets see, what is going on today. I woke at 1:30 am and went back to sleep for an hour at 7 am. So when I put Evan down today at 2, I thought I would try and catch some shut eye. That is if I could get to sleep with the sound of Dolores snoring! Anyway, I did fall asleep in the chair with Nick on my lap. He is a horrible napper and practically the only way to get him to take a nap is to let him sleep on me. So that is what I did today, I was so tired. So we were snoozing in the chair, Grandma Doe was snoozing on the couch. I was having a dream about a hot day at the beach, I could even feel the warm waves rolling onto my bronzed size 6 body! Then I woke up and Nicholas was peeing on me. I swear with his unit, if you don't have it laying the right way in his diaper, he can pee right out the leg of his diaper.

Ok, it only took me 4 hours to get this posted. Too many interruptions today!
