playing with the blog

So I have found another way to procrastinate. Scrapblog!! Thanks Katie. It is an online scrapbook place where you can create scrapbook pages and then share them with others. I am still playing around with all the cool features, but now I have a cool new header and tons of ideas for scrapbook pages. So, if anyone is interested you should check it out. The membership is free and they are adding a feature where you can print soon, however I don't know how private it is so- Shannon- maybe I should check that out. But it is way fun! I spent over an hour perfecting my header. And I got my blog background at cutest blogs on the block. So cute! and, again, fun!
oh yeah the links

retake

I guess that I was a little too hard (or easy) on myself earlier because I took the quiz again with Kerry's help and here is my new score. I'm counting it, because let's face it I don't like to be "Average" at anything.

72 As a 1930s wife, I am Superior Take the test!

One more reason for Kerry's head to swell!!

120 As a 1930s husband, I am Very Superior Take the test!

Not quite the perfect wife!

58 As a 1930s wife, I am Average Take the test!

I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad about the results of this quiz. Personally, I feel that I have a lot of work to do. I need to start dressing for breakfast and apparently stop opening my husband's personal mail! But on the other hand there were things that I realized I did good and other things I definitely need to work on. Take the quiz and let me know how you rate. Also, there is a 1930's husband quiz that I am going to have kerry take when he gets home tonight. SO we'll see.

Kerry's SOOOOOO funny!

Lest anyone freak out about my baby. Before you read the next post let me assure you JARED DOES NOT HAVE DIABETES. Kerry just thinks he's funny and has to laugh at his wife. I guess I won't be so nice to him in the future! Maybe I will make a weekly post on dumb things Kerry does. I'll call it "DTKD Tuesdays" What do you think?

Jared's suspected Diabetes

this is kerry on my first blogging adventure. only 5 minuets ago we are putting the kids to bed and jared has now asked for 2 glasses of water from me and now he has come down stair and saw amber. he again asks for a drink and amber pops up to give him a glass of her water. as she is fufilling his every request i told amber "you know this is the third glass of water he as asked for". with her face dead serious amber says "i wonder if he has diabetes" (amber won't tell me how to spell that correctly)

well that was one that couldn't go without the world knowing

Pitching the tent

Papa and Grandma Mary Jane came to visit the other day and they brought a tent for the kids to use as a playhouse in the backyard. While they were here Jared decided that Grandma Mary Jane is his new best friend. He called her "Grandma Jean" and followed her everywhere she went. The kids "helped" Kerry and Papa set up the tent in the back yard. It was quite an adventure- I was cracking up because both Papa and Kery refused to read the instructions- typical guys! Here are some pics.




Hannah picks out her own clothes after church on Sunday- and always takes out her hair, so she doesn't always look like such a raggamuffin I just wanted to let you know.


What do you do with so much "help"?


Check out the concentration on his face! Pitching tents is serious business.


Instuctions? We don't need no stinkin instructions!


Isn't my Papa cute?


Ta-Da!!!


Chillin' in the tent.


Is it just me or is my baby totally flipping me the bird?!

Thanks so much Papa and Grandma Mary Jane. The kids love the tent and they will always remember setting it up with Papa.

Changing the music

So I know that I haven't blogged in a while. I don't really have an excuse. And now my internet is down so I am at my mom's feeding my addiction. (Shhh! Don't tell her she thinks my blog will blow up her computer- she has crazy spyware). Anyways, so speaking of my mom she told me the other day that the country music playing on my blog was giving her a headache so I decided I needed to change it. (I'm not sure where she was reading my blog from since she won't read it on her computer- the blowing up thing I mentioned earlier) Sigh I digress! ANYWAYS, so I asked Hannah what song I should put up and she said "Enchanted" which I thought about and trust me it is just as- if not more- annoying than country. Her next choice, although catchy, might be a bit distracting to you dear readers: "Who let the dogs out" I finally convinced her to choose a more quiet song so she picked her "other favorite song" the one she calls, "The sad man song." I'm not sure if Josh Groban is really sad while he sings maybe it's the violins at the beginning that makes her think he is. Oh I wish I could figure out how to post videos, because Hannah's sad man dance is HILARIOUS. Talk about drama! Such a journey through the emotions. I laugh I cry (mostly laugh while trying to keep a straight face). If you ever have the chance to see it- well let's just say she may have a future. Which reminds me (I am all over the place today)! Dad thinks that after watching Britain's got talent with some amazing 6-year-old singer that with some practice and training Hannah could be that good. Only problem there is that Hannah thinks all singing has to be "pretty" so she sings most songs at least an octive higher than necessary. Sorry Granddad, unfortunately I think that my sweet daughter got her daddy's singing ability. Good thing she's so cute!!
