in lieu of pools

The Batman Slip-n-Slide ranks up there on my list of Top-10-purchases-that-entertain-young-children. You can't be too in love with the lawn, because it does not return to its original form for a couple of weeks. If you're anything like me, you should use the potty prior to the show, or your liable to pee yourself laughing at all the slippery mishaps.
That's terrible, I know. Thank my mom for that inherited trait.

letterboxing


















Excuse me... did I grow up under a rock?
How in the world did I not know about this?
I have found the best family hobby EVER and I can't wait to get started.

Okay, well, I did get started. It failed. (stay tuned for details, it was pretty funny.) But it did pique my interest enough to make me a bit, oh, shall I say OBSESSED?

Letterboxing. A world-wide treasure hunt. Can it get any cooler than that?
I am 32 and FINALLY get my wish to become a GOONIE!
















For those of you that have "known about it for years"... yeah, thanks for sharing. ;)
For the rest of you that are saying, "What? How can I join in on the hunt?!?!?!"...
Just let me know. We'll chat.

You're going to Hollywood!

If we've learned anything over a 5 year span of watching American Idol, it's the fact that mom has a thang for men that can sang! No, no... seriously, (well, that is true) it's the ability of each singer to "make the song their own". It shows that you are not merely a professional karaoke singer, but someone that can throw a little artistry into somebody else's songs.
My oldest gal, in my professional karaoke opinion, is one step closer to The Golden Ticket. Take a listen. You'll agree.
I'm so very proud...

WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUT THERE?!?!?!


These...
... this...

... some of these...

... ooo, and this...

... and to top it all off with these intoxicating little buggars...

... and some ambiance.

(I didn't think it would be appropriate to show piles of doggy-doo)
