Got forks?

Posted by { LB } September 23, 2010 comments (0)


I woke up this morning to this sign in my driveway that said…DEER KILLER'S AUNT GOT FORKED!


 
Thanks to my niece I had all these plastic forks in the yard.



And my jeep was covered in this stuff…


Somehow Brayden managed to get himself in a bind.


It all started when she hit a deer a few days ago.
I called her a "deer-killer".
So while she was at work last night, I wrapped her car with yellow caution tape and my sidekick wrote "I'm a deer-killer" on her bumper.



It's just a little innocent prank…considering she drew all over my jeep windows with hearts, pac-man and happy faces.
(this is really an on-going prank that started in the summer but there's no need to go back that far)

 
So now I am on a mission…you know, payback.
I am calling all you pranksters for some good tips.
Fun and harmless of course.
The time I sprayed silly string all over my niece's car didn't turn out so well.
Did you know silly string ruins car paint????
I didn't!
Turns out my niece is deathly afraid of spiders and Chihuahuas.
Hmmmm…
I need some help.
It's so on!
Watch your back K10…and your little sidekick.

I know where you live!

Homeschool lesson of the day: Fall Equinox

Posted by { LB } September 22, 2010 comments (0)


This is the time of year I put away my flip-flops, pool toys and beach towels. Gone are my carefree days, iced tea and lemonade. Although summer is my favorite time of the year, this is my husband's favorite time. I don't blame him…I love it too. I love the crisp night air, apple pie, pumpkins and the bright colors of the fall leaves.

 This year the fall equinox will be on September 23 at 3:09am (UTC time) which in my area will actually occur September 22 at 11:09 pm EST. During the fall equinox, the sun crosses the (celestial) equator and moves southward in the northern hemisphere. During this time, the sun appears to be almost directly over the Earth's equator. The length of night and day is nearly but not quite equal. The word equinox comes from two Latin words which mean "equal" and "night". After the fall equinox, the nights begin to get longer.



What does this all mean and why am I telling you this? Did you know during the equinox you can stand up a broom? Last year I tried it and my broom stood up for hours. I also heard you can stand up an egg. I haven't tried it so I don't know if this is just a myth.

So there it is…a little homeschool lesson. And maybe even a trick to impress your friends with.

Quote of the day...

"Life is too short to drink cheap coffee"


I am at the jeep dealership waiting for my jeep window to be fixed.

I will be waiting for at least two hours according to my serviceman.

I dropped the kids off at grandma's.

I forgot to feed them breakfast...as Shaye reminds as we're heading out the door.

I did not eat breakfast too (ugh).

I have had about 4 hours of sleep.

I have a half cup of yesterdays brew of coffee(ugh).

So do I dare try dealership coffee?

No way...

I just daydream about Starbucks.

Boy...that diet coke in the vending machine is calling my name.
