things i never thought i’d say

By: amyswandering3 Comments

Do NOT put rocks/ dirt/ beads in your nose.

I told you that, if you leaned too far over the top bunk, the ceiling fan would hit you in the head.

Don’t let the dog lick you in the mouth.

Yes, that IS a beautiful spider.

Quit climbing the door facings. (said to my son who is 6 ft. off the ground)

Don’t EVER EVER EVER stick anything into an electrical outlet again!

Didn’t I tell you to NEVER EVER EVER stick anything into an outlet again?!?

Just pick it up, wipe the dirt/dog hair off, and eat it – you’re not getting another one.

Please don’t throw up in the van!

Get your underwear off your head.

Do you know that you have a sucker stuck to the back of your head?

We don’t bite people’s noses.

If you don’t be quiet, I’m going to stick you in the closet. (Oh ok, I would never really say that, but I have thought it!)

So what have you said, since having kids, that you never thought you would say?

olympic fun

By: amyswandering2 Comments

Is anyone else excited about the Olympic Opening Ceremony tomorrow night? I love all the costumes & music, and wondering how the torch is going to be lit. (IMO the Greece one was the best opening ceremony, and the worst was the one with that weird little genderless thing for a mascot – where was that?)

We are going to have Chinese food for dinner, and I found several fun activities online that we might do during the day, or in the next couple of weeks:

Olympics Math

Medal Tally Sheet

Host Your Own Olympic Games

Beijing Games Educational Kit

Worksheets from Enchanted Learning (we have a membership)

Do you have a CVS card? Check the bottom of your receipt on your first purchase in August – it will have a coupon for a free CVS brand product. Mine was for a bottle of mouthwash. Also, if your store has a scanner, be sure to scan your card every time you visit to get more coupons (they print at the scanner).
