Friday Funny

It would be funnier if it wasn't something I had to deal with every day.

Bed Curtains

When Audrey dreams up an idea she is very lucky because she has a Grammy that can make it happen. Her bed is from IKEA and is able to be flipped so we have had it different ways. Recently she wanted to sleep down low instead of up high. After a few days she decided she wanted curtains so she could hide while she slept. Grammy made her some gold and yellow curtains which fit her bed perfectly and some yellow jammies to match. Kelsey also got a pink princess jammie gown. Thanks Grammy!

Hair and Homework

Audrey had her first homework yesterday. She has all week to complete the practice sheet but insisted on doing it last night. She said when she turns it in to her teacher she gets something out of the "smartie box" so she wanted to get that today.

I showed her the blog that Joanna had mentioned on her blog (shedoeshair) and she looked at all the pictures and wanted me to do the smocking hairdo. So I gave it a try. She slept in it and wore it to school today. I hope she lets me keep trying new things with her hair. It is pretty amazing since Audrey has always said ouch ouch ouch when I put one ponytail in her hair. She sat and let me do this without saying a word. Thanks Joanna!

UGA Girls

Cherise and I took the girls to UGA Saturday. We went to see one of Chelsea's friends that was in a horse show at the livestock arena and then we walked around campus. We had a great time. One day we hope to visit you all when you are UGA students!

Chelsea and Kelsey (try to spend a day keeping those names straight) eating lunch at 5 Guys.

The girls at the arch. Audrey is holding an "apartment finder" magazine - she is ready to find a place to live.

A piggy back ride for Kelsey (too many steps on campus!).

Audrey was impressed with all the "good climbing trees" and squirrels this school has.

Friday Fun

Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Beaumont , Texas , who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth. One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas. I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children. I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview. She is a part time 'working girl'.
All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her. Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Barack Obama for President?
Signed, Worried About My Reputation

Speeding in North Carolina
1) Good: A Cary, NC policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A twelve-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand-painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD'. The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' . . . and a bucket full of money. (And we kids used to just sell lemonade!)
2) Better: A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Asheville, NC. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
3) Best: A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the North Carolina State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball.' He replied ' North Carolina State Troopers don't have balls.' There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

Class of 2021

Audrey's first day of kindergarten was today. She has been counting down the days until she could go, so we were all excited for it finally be here. Of course went she got home we pumped her for as much information as we could get. She didn't like the pizza they had for lunch but she ate her corn and lettuce, a boy got in trouble for crawling under the table, she got to be the "door holder", there are all these papers her mommy or daddy has to fill out, she sat with a girl on the bus and talked a lot but all they talked about was "nothing", and she wants to know if she can go back tomorrow. Overall, we consider it a great success.

Daddy took Audrey to school:

Sweet Home Alabama

Marsha, the girls and Ma went and visited Uncle Ricky this weekend. He took us out on his boat and we had sooooo much fun. Audrey and Kelsey both got to drive the boat. Of course the only speed they liked going was FAST.

It is hard to see but I can confirm that this is Marsha on the water skies. It has been 20 years since she did this but it seemed like yesterday :)




Uncle Ricky pretented he was a pirate. Argh maties.

We went looking for gators.

Kelsey and Marsha on the T-bone raft.

Audrey, Kelsey and Marsha on the raft. We had to abandon the raft a couple times which even that was fun to the girls. Of course being pulled by the boat is not different from being on the boat when it comes to what speed they wanted to go...they just wanted to go fast. The adult on the raft got beat up, water in the face, and hung on for dear life while the kids belly laughed and kept giving the sign (thumbs up) to go faster.

A day in the water will just wear you out. The girls crashed on the way home from the lake.

Happy Friday!

After a hardy rainstorm filled all the potholes in the streets and alleys, a young mother watched her two little boys playing in the puddle through her kitchen window. The older of the two, a five year old lad, grabbed his sibling by the back of his head and shoved his face into the water hole. As the boy recovered and stood laughing and dripping, the mother runs to the yard in a panic. ' Why on earth did you do that to your little brother?!' she asks as she shook the older boy in anger. 'We were just playing 'church' mommy, ' he said. 'And I was just baptizing him..... in the name of the Father, the Son and in...the hole-he-goes.'

To all you working on the primary program, good luck I hope practice goes well this weekend.
