Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 42)

Todd found this on the printer...

at his office!

The beads dumped in the bottom of the red bin

used to be all neatly divided in the organizer on the right...

sigh.

Help yourself, Mr. Squirrel.

Friends sent a valentine box

with a few sweet treats for the kiddos.

I found this in my pantry today...

does a candy stick really need a chip clip? ;-)

I made these cuties for Clint & Erika's class

(saw them in family fun magazine)

I bought the big bag

of Hershey's kisses...

We had a few left over and I stashed them in my baking drawer.

I lifted the bag out and

found this pile of foil:

I guess I should be grateful they didn't throw the wrappers away...

made tracking down the sweet tooth easier!

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 37)

This one is all on me.

I dropped a Christmas mug on our tile.

:-(

Todd and I went upstairs to go to bed

and found Clint asleep on the floor...

wrapped up in our comforter...

I have no idea.

Tonight was an openhouse at school.

I came upon an essay about our family

written by one of my brilliant students.

The whole essay was so cute.

Then I read this sentence....

"I love my family because my mom is ..."

'pretty' or was it 'petty'

??

Did my little student realize their teacher

was going to hang the essays in the hall

and quickly added the letter R?

hmmm.

I think our summer road trips have caught up with us.

We removed the back seat out of the suburban...

What are these 2 grinning about?

R walked in when I was taking the photo...
and had a little fun with the trio!
Buzz has Woody in a headlock while clearly charming Jessie.

So this appeared on my errand list last week... ;-)

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 30)

so that's our mailbox laying in the street.

oh goody, one more thing to do.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 29)

I went to put some mail in our box and found this:

E told me it said to "Send no money and mail the card today."

So, I made a big chocolate chip cookie and was also going to add frosting to it...

I grabbed a tub out of our pantry and found this when I opened it:

old half-used, separated,

foul odored frosting.

No one owned up to it. But in their defense,

it looks like this happened quite some time ago.

I'm sure they've truly forgotten!

Thankfully, there was another tub

and we finished the cookie!

And it was just the prompt I needed to organize the pantry.

Last week, E found a lot of items on the beach and spent a lot of time filling buckets with various beachy things. We emptied the buckets before loading up for the day,

but one day, a storm blew in faster than forecasted and we gathered our things quickly.

The buckets were loaded into the truck hurriedly

and forgotten.

Until a smell surfaced.

An unpleasant odor.

Strong.

And we started searching for the source and

found a

live OYSTER:

Then E told us how she had found "two shells the SAME size STUCK together" while snorkeling.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 25)

I'm assuming Gretchen is responsible for this one...

although, no evidence has surfaced yet to support my suspicion.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 24)

Came home to clothes strewn across the front yard.

The dog helped herself to opening and enjoying my birthday packages

delivered to the house today...

she was quite pleased with herself for 'helping'.

Good thing for her I just watched Marley & Me last week.

So, when Erika told someone Todd was a 'ninja-neer',

I thought it was just one of those times she misunderstood what the real word really is.

Until I found this:

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Volume 22)

As I was getting E into the tub, I noticed these blue arrows stuck on her legs.

She offered no explanation.
