I will get my camera out of the car soon and take a photo or two to show you ...
Stew is in bed, it's his turn for a sleep in.... mine turn was yesterday.
The school holidays have only just started and the kids are already bored, and telling us too! Little shits. We have spent THOUSANDS of dollars getting them everything a kid could want in the way of electronic games etc... for the wet days when they are stuck inside.. ungrateful little buggers! HELL.. some kids don't have anything like what these two have. They have Playstation 2, Wii... PSP's.... DVD's coming out their ears.... *sigh*. Maybe I should just chuck them outside to play in the mud???
Knowing my luck... they would LOVE IT!
ONWARD...

Stew is finally out of bed... and now... we are going grocery shopping. I. CAN. HARDLY. WAIT.
And it's wet and windly out there... not a nice sunday at all.
A BIT OF ADVICE FOR ALL YOU WEIGHT WATCHERS OUT THERE: NEVER EVER GO SHOPPING WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY!
I WAS .... HUNGRY... 'tis me only defense. I am going to win NO prizes for being a role model today. *sniff*
End of Day: Stew made dinner tonight.. pork chops and veges..oooo it was delicious! I had some jellybeans too. *hanging head in shame* nite nite.
yip and they more they have the more they want Samuel just got a cellphone 1 week ago and he thinks its great, he has no TV in his room, no PSP no Ipod NO PS3 (as much as he wants one) NO Wii all he has is a PS2 so we just scrape by in the electronic front, he is just now though getting to the friends walking into the library stage etc etc and mooching into town for a couple of hours (then I arrange to meet them to pick them up) thats cool as they get older and more independant.
ReplyDeleteHey, love he new header Chris! Well done.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pick of playing in the mud puddle-- That's priceless. I'm guessing you could work that into a best selling card!
Thanks for your kind comment on my "feeling blue" post. I'm with you on seeing the doc and have no problem with meds. That's definitely the next step. I've done 'em before and I'll do 'em again.
But honestly-- this pic put a big smile on my face-- Regardless of all the $$$ spent on toys, mother Nature was the most entertaining of them all :-)
Thanks again,
jj
I have a friend who always says that kids are happiest with a box and a wooden spoon!
ReplyDeleteOff to have a Diet Coke - smooches from Long Island!
I love the mud puddle pic and you are right-the kids would probably love it if you sent them out to play in a mud puddle.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm how long will your cake of chocolate last I wonder. I bought one yesterday... there is still half left!!! Bad Girl. I agree never shop when you're hungry or sad!!
ReplyDeleteI love your new design!!! Kids ...it's hard to know what they want sometimes!!!
ReplyDeletethe mud pic bought back memories of when my son was younger and he had a fun morning playing in the mud with a hose...I had just finished sewing the trousers and shirt he was wearing at the time I didnt see the fun in it at all.
ReplyDeleteOh all those naughty shopping perchases naught naught naughty
YUM!!... Whittaker's chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteMy Boyfriend and his friends LOVE that vid too!!
ReplyDeleteDont eat it ....put it all in a plastic bag and give to Stew to hide...
ReplyDeleteAs for the kids....can they do card making.....then you can spend the day card making cause you are helping them....if not stick them out side and lock the door the way our parents did lol
Mine are not allowed to say they are bored or i find them something to do ...ie clean toliets scub showers etc :-)

ReplyDeleteYou might have to seed them out in the rain Chris. It's here to stay until next Tuesday :(
Yeah! The new header looks fantastic! :)
ReplyDeleteand that "playing in the mud" picture is awesome!
