Cherry Pizza Pie

I expect to receive the proper recipe for this ASAP because it is very difficult to brag about something you adored from your childhood, when you do not have a clue how to make it. Better yet, please come visit and prepare it in person 😉

William Gets It

This is more a visual so bear with me, but if you have kids, you should appreciate it! Courtney was showing Jeff their new tennis uniforms that her coach ordered sight unseen. They are VERY short dresses. She was complaining that they all had to go buy shorts to wear underneath. “Who would order these things?!” I replied, “A male coach that doesn’t have a clue.” MEANWHILE, Jeff was going to respond as well, and right then, William walked up behind Courtney to get help with a project. Jeff said “…or Seymour Hiney…” William stopped in his tracks, looked at Courtney, and his face was all scrunched up with “trying not to look at Courtney” and totally understanding Jeff’s comment. He just looked at all of us and smirked and bolted from the room. Later, after Courtney left the room, William sneaked over to me and said, “you know, Seymour Hiney could really mean “see… more… hiney” … you know “see… more”…?” “Yes, William, I know… and do you think maybe we all know that and that’s why dad said that?” “OH… it’s one of THOSE sayings!”

Made in USA

[pics incl] We needed to run up to the store to buy a disposable container for William’s Chinese dumplings… and Courtney wanted chocolate cake… and Courtney wanted pre-made dumpling wrappers to make some “we” could eat 😉

After a while, she came out of the store proclaiming that the only thing she had purchased that was made in USA was the Chinese dumpling/wonton wrappers… and by the way, she prefers the Korean brand!

Bacon Gift Cards

[pics incl] Txting conversations make life interesting. The photo of this one is self-explanatory but I’ll elaborate.

My parents (gpa=grandparents) bought each of the kids gift cards but they said they had given them “to me” … according to them. But I promise I do NOT have them… Turns out Jeff had them.

Same child said this:

Finally, A Cat Gets on the Kitty-Condo

[pics incl] For Christmas, “we” got the cats another kitty-condo. It was smaller than the ad stated but William assembled it anyway. They either didn’t want to have anything to do with it or did not realize it was for cats 😉  So, a few weeks ago, Ashley sprinkled catnip all over it.  They will jump up on it and walk through it but have never really spent any time on/in it.  Today, I found Peanut pulling down a fabric ring around the pedestal, and since I speak cat, we had an entire conversation about how this was in the way and he couldn’t see to jump up over it.  So I helped him pull it down all the way around it.  Think he’ s pretty happy about that now and has spent a couple hours talking to the birds outside 😉
