Yay or Nay?

WOW! What a wonderful response! I liked all of your votes :) but do I have a suprize for you! In making my mom & dad's card, I decided to make some slight changes. So, scroll down if you'd like to see what I ended up doing...It's going to press Monday afternoon, so, tell me what you think!

Yay or Nay? The idea is to print three to a page of photo paper, cut and stuff into standard envelopes...speaking of which, I need addresses - if you'd like one!

Credits go to:

S. Colbert - Christmas Tree Stamp/word art - Altered to my liking :)

FeiFei's Stuff - Frame & Staples

DSP Suzanne Walker - Paper - Thinking Green Back Pack Kit

Wood Paper - I have no idea, and no clue to a place to start looking...sorry! I did change the color though, but can't remember the original color...oops!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have never a lump.

May your yams be delicious,
And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanks Giving, Everyone!!!

What do {YOU} think?

I can't decide and Ryan won't decide.


Option A


Option B


Option C


Option D

I'll spare you Options E, F, G, H, I, J and K. They're pretty much the same, only minor tweeks. I'll obviously add our name and the year, but over all, which would {YOU} pick for a Christmas Card?

Or would you just start over or forget the whole shebang?

Lookie-lookie!

So - Tanner has pink-eye, and I finally got someone willing to substitute for me in primary...with how hard that is, it's not worth leaving town - at all! Phew! I was NOT taking him or Taylor to church with that gunky goop!

While Taylor and Tanner napped, I did this:

Place Cards! There's only going to be twelve of us, and we'll probably drive Grandap bonkers, but we are going to rock down the house!

I am so stinking excited for Wednesday, to go to my parents house and see my family...we are going to have one royal blast!!!

Unfourtunately, we'll be coming home Saturday night, instead of staying till Monday, but I am not going to put myself through calling another 14 people to see if they'd sub. I'm just not! :) No biggie, since we'll be plenty busy decorating our tree, we can do that all Sunday evening and Monday!!! I can hardly wait!!!!! !!!!!!!!!, !!!!!!!. !

Oh, and we're going to get some nice $80 eye drops tomorrow...Pink-Eye-Be-Gone!!!

Results...

After having overreacted to my sitemeter crisis, I have some results. They are:

Each of you is documented. Thank you for your response. I am not going private. As of today, anyways. (Shucks, that sentence has only four words...I'm creating a trend of five-word sentences to sound official and robotic-like. I failed that one!)

After much diliberation, I realized that there are many possibilities as to why I was getting such random hits on our blog - the 'public' journal of our life. (I know, you're shocked..there's more to our life that what I post, but that's okay!)

I have decided to...

Not go public at this time. I will let you know if I should decide to limit who can comment, or better, VIEW our life in the future. But for now, I don't feel we are in any grave danger.

Be forewarned, I may change my mind by morning. I'll keep you all updated and posted!

Who are YOU and where did you come from?

Okay, this is kinda creeping me out. Please, Please, Please! If you look at our blog, leave a comment. Something as simple as, "Hi" will do. I have SO MANY random people that are being monitored, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ALL ARE!!!

So, de-lurk today...but don't put it off any longer! I know where most of you are, including my brother in Cambodia, yet I keep getting random visits from Germany, Austria, Austrialia, Spain and Switzerland. Um, who are you? And to my friendly visitor from Canada, have you any snow up North yet?

Thank you in advance. If my numbers don't add up (or come close), I will consider, yet again, going private, yet again. This isn't a threat, it's a promise! I don't want to do that, but I can, and I will.

There. Said. Done. Please let me know who you are. :)

Catch Me!

Fishermen catch Fish.
Cops catch Robbers.
And Moms catch Poop.

Yes, moms catch poop - it's in the fine print, and a thankless job. But it's either that, or let it fall on a clean-and-laid-out rug, just pulled from the dryer moments before.

I think I've finally and formally and officially been introduced to motherhood. And I feel lucky. Yes, I do! (I'm being completely honest!)

Tanner came to me yesterday (after NO ACCIDENTS, but potty breaks every 20 minutes) and said, "Mommy, I poop! Help! I need a bwoo smiley face sicker." And as I look at my distressed two-year-old, he has indeed pooped - and after eating half a box of fruit loops, it was easy to catch. Solid. Solid. And, Solid. So sorry for the graphics. I'll keep it down from here on out.

So while he's dry-heaving and gaging next to the toilet, I'm dumping what's left in his underwear (the cutest little briefs with lizards all over them). I think I'll print myself up a little certificate. If you'd like one for being a hero-mom, let me know and I'll print one up for you, too! Seriously. You all think I'm joking! I'm not.

And just in case you were wondering, and you shouldn't, but if you should, I washed my hands thoroughly at least five times, and once with straight Clorox. I think I got it all. I'm sure I got it all.

Bring. It. On.
