We had DiGiorno pizza the other night, and while the boys are "Cheese only" men sometimes I like some veggies. Veggies, not faces. I was serving up dinner, when I looked down at my plate and was disturbed to see Pizza Man staring up at me with an innocent smile. It really creeped me out. He had olives for eyes, a wedge of pepperoni for a nose, and 2 red bell peppers for lips. He even has a green and a red bell pepper eye brows. I did not make this pizza, I did not move the toppings around, I was just cuttin' and servin' and suddenly was looking at this. My first thought was - hey, I wonder if I could sell this on Ebay! But then he smelled so good... yeah, I ate him. But I felt a little guilty.
Last night when Mike got home with Squish from Cubs I started thinking about all the things we do every day, that really don't get recorded. So, in that direction, I wanted to show off two of my scouters. I appreciate that Mike is such a dedicated dad that he attends Mr. W's and Squish's weekly scout meetings with them. While it cuts into the time he could be doing other things, they love to have him there. Thanks Mike, I love how much you love our kids!
Tonight I found 2 sites that I've just gotta give a shout out to. They have no socially redeeming value except that they made me laugh or shake my head at the way somethings turn out. Do not go to them if you want to learn something or walk away from them feeling like a better person. One is Failblog.org
where you can see less successful side of humanity and

where they have hilarious cakes that .....just didn't turn out quite right. For example, try this link....http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/07/inspiration-vs-perspiration.html
I was going to post the photos, but it'll take to long and I think you'll love the site. Anyway, I just had to share. (What does it say about me that I stumbled onto 2 different site about bloopers and that I loved them so much I'm writing about them? The cake wrecks site was just so fun to laugh at - I really did have tears in my eyes after a while!) Hope you like 'em!
Yesterday we found out that one of Mr. W's school friends was in the hospital, so we ran over to Target to pick something out for "Q" that Mr. W could take him. His teacher suggested Bionicles and since I was thinking along the Lego road anyway, I was only to happy to go grab something he would like. I saw this set and thought - "Whoa, he's scary, but icy looking.....too cool!" and I went to grab it, then noticing that they also had smaller sets that were about half the size, but that we could get 2 Bionicles for about the same price. My thinking is (In the girl world) the bigger (doll) toy is cooler because it can do more and would look neater sitting on the hospital shelf/lap table. I asked Squish "What's cooler, 2 small Bionicles or 1 big one?" As I reached for the larger bionicle, anticipating his answer. Sweetly, I heard his small voice say "Well, if you had two they could fight." Oh. Yeah, that would be a deciding factor. I love how boys are so very different from girls!! Of course, based on that recomendation, we bought the 2 small ones. What else could I do? You wouldn't want lonely Bionicles!
I love 3 day weekends. Wow. A whole extra day home. We were going to go out of town, and then realized that home was the place to be. We've been going and going and it was really nice to just stay home yesterday, goof off, and "be." We played video games, I re-read the 2nd Twilight series book, we napped, did some domestic stuff, Squish played his new favorite game "Club Penguin" with a dear friend from Utah over the phone, and then we all went out to Red Robin for dinner. It was fun because well, we love Red Robin. But while we were waiting to order some friends of ours came in and were seated next to us. Then later another family we knew from Squish's school came in. It was very small town-ish feeling. We walked around the mall after dinner, and Mr. W got a Indiana Jones calendar for half price. He's so excited! He wears Mike's Indy hat all the time, despite the fact that he has his own. I think he knows that Mike's is more authentic so that's the one he prefers. After dinner the boys set up a tent in our front bedroom and they "camped" with a small dvd player in the tent and video games. At midnight I had to tell them to turn it off, I know, I'm no fun. But 9am church comes waaaay to early. I'm not sure what tomorrow will hold. Maybe a day out, maybe another day in. Either way, I am really looking forward to not doing the daily drive to the schools. Woo Hoo!
