Hi!

The other day, Mark was in my lap and he sneezed.

I said, "Bless you!"

He said, "Ha ha, I bless-you'ed on your knee!"

That's funny!
I guess really the only funny thing of recently is the where babies come from- viruses. That had us rolling. Of course the thunder comment too- It was storming last week. Don't remember what day but we had a nasty storm roll through one evening and Colin wasn't listening and we had a big clap of thunder around that time and I said, "See what happens when you don't listen? Mommy thunders!" And he looked at me and said, "No, that's God farting."

I'm going to Hell for sure for that one.

We met Samson last night! OMG! He's huge! A big puppy! He's 10 months old! The family has had him since he was 3 months old. They can't keep him though they want to b/c they don't have the yard space for him. The husband is in love with this dog and has spent a lot of time training him. They *think* he's pure bred Saint Bernard but DH and I think he's actually more like a Saint Bernard/German Shepard or Saint Bernard/Gold Retriever Mix. The German Shepard part scares me b/c aggressive breeds like that terrify me.
However he did marvelous with us all. He met us all and loved us all- especially Colin. And when Colin wasn't where Colin wasn't supposed to be, he barked at him until Colin was closer and then licked him in the face when he came back to us like he was saying, "Ok kid, you need to stay here and I'll be happy." He minded his master very well and knows several commands. He played with DH and I very well and seemed to like us. We are seriously considering him and if we do agree on him together as a family, we pick him up Friday!

Jennie- we have a GSD, in fact, his parents were police dogs. He can be aggressive with other dogs, but is not at ALL with me or my kids. And when I say aggressive, it is more of a protective stance - like he barks loud and aggressively, but stays where he is. My GSD is a pain in the a#$ since he is so big and we dont walk him enough, or train him enough, etc. (ETA: So, the fact that he is a pain is more that we are lazy than any problem that he brings) But, I feel sooooo safe when I am home alone with the kids or walking him iwth the kids or whatever.

GSDs are great dogs when trained and when they are well socialized. I suppose that can be said about most dogs, but seriously, I have never worried about my kids and my dog. Now my terrier mix is another story...

Juanita has one too and can weigh in... (I think, I will feel like an a$% if something hapened to her and Im not remembering right now...)

Anyone around?

This morning, I noticed that either:

-someone egged the side of my house and my garage door or

-there was some bizarre nest catastrophe that made 4 eggs break and ooze down the side of my house and my garage door.

If it was intentional, I cannot fathom what any of us have done that would have instigated that.

Was it something my 4-year-old did? Or my 9-year-old?

Crazy.

I had to hose down the garage door and the brick wall outside but it seems to be fine now.

I have another one...this happened yesterday while my mom and dad were with the girls and I thought it was high-larious.

My mom and dad took the girls to the pool yesterday, and mom took Anna into the potty to try and go before getting in. So, Anna told her:

"Boys have a sinus. When they go to the potty, they stand up and use their sinuses."

OMG, lmfao.

Then on the way home, I mentioned the exchange to her, and she said,

"Yes, mommy. Boys have sinuses. And you do NOT want to look at their sinuses!"

LMFAO!!!!!!
