Having a bad day? Wish you could exchange your kids? Just be glad this one’s not yours. She looks handful-ish.
tid6its from my life…
Thanks for the tag in the six random fact game! Here’s what I came up with…
- I once fastened a clothespin to my uvula because my mom dared me $5. Don’t try it. It hurts.
- In 2nd grade, I memorized over 2,000 lines of poetry to win a stuffed dodo bird.
- In junior high or early high school (with my mom’s help), we t’ped/toilet-papered/wrapped (it’s called something different in all parts of the country) a guy’s house and left an apology note with an offer to help clean up the mess… written as if the pastor of my church did the t’ping.
- I could eat guacamole for every meal for the rest of my life (if I could only afford it and keep my figure….wait, what figure?!?!?!?)
- Two random lifelong dreams of mine is to #1 ride on a hot air balloon, and #2 be on a game show.
- After fighting with my brother when we were kids, we were forced to say something nice about the other person. I very quickly told Ross, “Although I don’t act like it, I really do love you.” It was Ross’s turn. He thought…and he thought…and he thought…and he thought…and he thought…and he thought….and he thought… then said, “Well………. You keep yourself clean?” Tears & another fight ensued. I’m still bitter.

My little triathletes…
My husband and brother participated in a mini-triathlon over the weekend. I was worried about a potential bike malfunction (the hills are torturous) or a triathlete death (neither trained for it), but they both pulled through and finished! YEAH, boys!
The swim is first– A smile from Ross.
Michael working hard.
Michael finishing his swim.
The Bicycling is second.
Ross posing for the camera before he hit the road.
Using the camera time stamp= My ingenious way of figuring out how long the guys had been gone on their bike ride…If only I could calculate in my head with better accuracy…
Michael= almost done with the bicycling.
Ross= almost done with the bicycling.
Running is last.
Michael heading to the finish line!
Almost there, Ross!

The End!
Before Baring my Soul…
To keep from having to BARE (ha, get it?) my soul and tell you another embarassing story, today we’ll go on a picture journey. But not just any picture journey. Today, I’ll avoid beautiful camping pictures like this…
or this… 
Today, to keep away the boredom, I’ll refrain from normal pictures….
like this woodpecker (who was so large & loud I thought someone was coming to get me)…
I won’t show you my dog’s favorite place to be while camping…
or some random bug…
Nope. Instead, I’ll show you what Michael and I did during ‘quiet hours’ before the sponge bath saga. When the rest of the world is peaceful and serene, we think of odd things to do, and then we HAVE FUN! Enjoy!
Our first attempt at ‘Sprint Commercial’ Art… This would be a Person, Tree, Bush, Cloud and Sun.
On the picture of Michael on the right, I tried to draw a smiley face. Can you see it? HAHAHAH!
This ‘artwork’ takes a lot of thought and hard work!?!?! I suppose this explains my serious face…Doesn’t Michael look eerie? Did you know he lost a leg?
This artwork takes a lot out of you… (okay, bad joke… if you don’t get it, stop trying.)
Something you’ve probably done since grade school…on paper… Trust me, this is WAY more mature…
Life’s too short to be normal.
So be crazy & have fun,
maren
