Boys will be boys

My mom sent me this in a email and it so funny I had to share it. Happily, none of these are my children. But it makes me feel better about my son.

Wait Garrison has actually peed in a plant during swim class a couple of years ago.























You find out interesting things when you have sons, like...

1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with
roller blades, they can ignite.

3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and
a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.

5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

7) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.

8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

9.) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.

10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.
11) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

12.) Super glue is forever.

13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.

14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

15) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV
commercials show they do.

16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

20.) The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.

23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.

25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Princesses on a Train

We had a terrific time at the Disney Princess on Ice this year. I tink it was the best one we've been to and the girls were so happy. We rode the train down to the American Airlines Center downtown and this is a video from that train ride.

Princess Day

After much waiting and anticipating, March 21st has finally arrived!!! Kamdyn work up with only one thing on her mind, "Is today princess day?"

I have officially declared today "Princess Day". Disney on ice is tonight and we have literally counted to days until March 21st. We are going with Bailey and Kylie and we are all so excited to have this day arrive.

In honor of princess day we will only watch princess movies, dress like princesses, wear tiaras,and listen to princess music in the car. And then tonight she wants to totally glam out and dress up for the Princesses on Ice extravaganza! I will include pictures tomorrow (providing I can find my digital camera in time.) So to all the princesses of Disney I salute you for inspiring my baby girl to dream, dance, spin and sing. May you inspire countless millions of other little ladies to do the same. After all Kate Middleton never knew she'd be a princess when she grew up and neither did her mother-in-law Diana. Here's to dreaming big.

I have a favorite princess as well. Kamdyn LOVES Cinderella. Isn't it funny how they gravitate to one specific princess. They do have different qualities and personalities. Based on that observation I have found my favorite princess as well. On http://disney.go.com/princess/html/main_iframe.html you can actually take a princess test to see who you most resemble. Here is the quiz

1. Your hair color is closest to:
a. dark and curly
b. blond
c. brown
d. tied in a bun
e. golden Blond
f. red
g. black long and very shiny
h. tied in a pretty ribbon

2. What is your style of dress?
a. exotic
b. glamorous
c. simple
d. active
e. regal
f. beach ware
g. adventurous
h. classic

3. You ideal pet is a.....
a. tiger
b. mouse
c. bird
d. horse
e. owl
f. fish
g. raccoon
h. squirrel

4. Your favorite hobby is .....
a. Shopping
b. organizing parties
c. Reading
d. dancing
e. singing
f, collecting things
g. canoeing
h. looking after animals

5. Where would you prefer to live?
a. in the desert
b. in a palace
c. in a castle
d. your family home
e. grand manor
f. by the ocean
g. in the Forest
h. in a cottage

I can reveal that I am most like Belle. She also happens to be my favorite princess. Little mermaid is my favorite movie but Bell is headstrong, outspoken, fiercely loyal, smart, loves to read, not afraid to try something different, kind, understanding, doesn't judge people by their looks, and willing to give second chances. In other words she always sees the good in others. Those are all qualities I admire and that makes Belle my favorite.

In other news, Garrison has started soccer and her really likes it plus he has some "mean" soccer skills. He can really kick and control that ball. It's fun to watch him be so into the games. When I find the digital I will take some pictures to add to the blog. I didn't know how often soccer games are played but we seem to be at the park three or four times a week. That is a huge change. I have discover that it's easier to keep the house clean when we are not in it. Maybe that is the key!!! I'm a homebody and so are the kids so we tend to make messes when we are here.

Garrison is also the resident Georgie Porgie. You remember the rhyme.. "...kissed the girls and made them cry..." He is such a lover! He has always been extremely affectionate but now he is over the top. We went to a birthday party for a girl in his class and everyone got tickled at how many times he kissed the birthday girl, Anika. I've even had to talk to the teacher about his wanton affection for the opposite sex. We are in serious trouble I fear.

What else??? Not much is going on and that's why I have not blogged a lot lately.

I'll post pictures of the Disney ice trip tomorrow.

Here are some other pix from the last few weeks. (luckily downloaded before I lost the camera)

I do not want my picture taken MOMMY!!!!
