Truth.

a bunch of things...

So, yeah, it's been a while.

Don't judge me. ;)

---

First off, a few things that made me laugh

this past week...

---

---

so true, so true...

... and remember looking stuff up in an actual book?

an encyclopedia?

a library?

haha

---

I have no idea why, but this

tickled my fancy soooooo bad

Poor T-Rex

===

And now, some photos from the last

couple weeks...

Peli's self-portrait:

-

Peli's attempt to photograph his beloved Cubs t-shirt

from school- 

-

Yes... In a box.

-

Still in a box...

-

He We finally got his Legos Optimus Prime

and Bumblebee put together. It only took

three hours days.

-

This is my crafty craft for the month.

First, the frame was an ugly brown, so I spray-painted it

brushed-silver.

Then, made a ghost out of buttons!

It was fun and I'd like to do one for each month of the year ;)

-

Playin' in the front

-

-

(and yes, everyone's still in their jammies with lovely, combed hair...)

-

These Cars slippers were Peli's faves forEVER ... and now for some reason

Raini's gotten interested. She can barely keep her balance, but she's

determined to wear 'em anyway

-

-

This is an "Art Class" craft Peli did- they were supposed to make

the picture look like themselves-

I love the head and hair... and I don't know if everyone was 'tan'

made out of brown paper bags or not, but it's funny anyway.

-

This is another self-portrait, but this one cracked me up-

it's from a few weeks ago, right at the beginning of school.

They were just supposed to color the pic to look like them.

-

Yes, it looks like an old man. (??)

And yes, the outline reminds me of a 'normal' Sloth from Goonies.

-

Again- best part is the head and hair ;)

-

We did not carve pumpkins, but we did paint some...

Peli wanted his scary (left), we did a scared one for Raini,

and mine somehow looks like a middle-aged Relief Society President.

-

And in a final, bit-of-bragging moment-

Peli got an award at school-

It's called the Cubs of Learning Award.

He's such a cute student- he loves

school and his teacher...

so funny! Good job, Pel!

road trip clip.

saw this today... and LOVED it.  maybe 'cuz it's just funny.
maybe cuz i love any family who would be doing this on a road trip.
and maybe cuz i've done this myself.  allegedly.

this week's top 10

This Week's Top Ten.  Pinterest pins, that is.

-

You can tell right now I'm in a 'funny' mood... no recipes,

no crafty ideas, just lame funny things... oh well.



-

Sup Player

-

oh. no.

-

mm hmm.

-

i SOOOOO want this in my house!!

I shall make it.  And hang it.  And laugh often.

-

This may or may not be me when I see a big gross hairy spider.

-

Sad, but so true:

-

In all seriousness- look at her HAIR!!  Isn't it gorge?

Love.

-

And ending on 2 uplifting notes...

Let Go(d)

Mom vs. Dad

I love the site HowToBeADad.com - so funny, and done by dads!

Here's another graph about mommy brain vs. daddy brain ...

Mother De-Evolution.

I saw this cartoon of how we chicks de-evolve through a work week.

And I couldn't help feeling that this week-

the first week of school (!!)

was pretty much... completely identical.

(In fact- there are many days I start out like the first girl

and by 5pm I'm like the last girl!  That's sad.)

Dad thoughts v. Mom thoughts

I've come across an absolutely hilarious website-

"How To Be A Dad"

If you have a minute, it's a must-check-out.

They've got funny insights into parenthood, categories such as

"My Wife Just Said..."

and "Instructional Diagrams" like the following:

(click any pic to enlarge)

**I may or may not have had one or four of these thoughts. Allegedly.

-

**True. All true.

-

And just cuz it made me laugh, I included this:

**I love the hand/foot marks on the baby, and I LOVE the bum marks

at the end of the toddler's walk!

Ahhh, parenthood.

ah, Dads.

Let's take a moment to honor the dads who light stuff on fire.

And drop it.

Near propane tanks and weeds.

-

Hooray for dads who don't hesitate in times of crisis...

-

A shout-out to dads who teach by example...

-

Let's honor dads who show affection.  Even if said affection is shoving

you face down in the mud so he can score a TD.  Awesome.

-

...Dads who show their kids they can do anything...

-

...Dads who are creative problem-solvers...

-

...Dads who want their kids to experience life...
(note: "Electric Fence" sign...)

-

...Dads who won't let barriers get in the way of their child's experience...

-

Hooray for dads who provide for their kids...

-

...For those dads who make extra efforts to spend

time with the kids...

-

...Dads who teach their kids skills, like how to swim...

-

...Dads who let their kids breathe in the fresh outdoor air...

-

Ah, Dads.  This is probably my fave picture, 'cuz

my dad [often] used to carry the boys by the back of

their overall straps.  It was AWESOME.  And it looked

alot like this...

Dads Rock.

Happy Father's Day-

especially to my dad and my hubs...

They only do about half of these ;)

...And, in a special note to my own dad,

[and knowing he'll probably never even see this...]

a few thoughts, straight from me:
