Yippee, Bummer, and Confessions

 

All kinds of randomosity in the last couple of days…and I’m starting to get disgruntled at the lack of time to properly take pictures.  Or at least try to pretend I properly take them (read: LEARN HOW TO EDIT).

 

YIPPEE:  Itty Bit’s Show & Tell was a smashing success.  Except that I couldn’t get the kid to really chat about it.  But the squeal and giggles from the TEACHER when I asked about it… totally cracked me up.

 

BUMMER:  Itty Bit didn’t want to talk about Rocky, because he was traumatized by one of those Kindergarten milestones:  when your friend says something mean to you.   We had a long talk about how people sometimes say things they don’t mean when they are grumpy and that we can say, “I like you, but that hurt my feelings”.

Because even friends hurt our feelings sometimes.

 

CONFESSION:  It really is true.  All I need to know in life, I learned in Kindergarten.

RANDOM FACT:  Rocky’s buddy “Randolph” is for sale!  Go get him here!

YIPPEE:  I finally decided to cover up that gray.

 

BUMMER:  Medium Ash Brown is the new Black.  Elvira anyone?

(you’re welcome for not posting a picture of this one)

 

CONFESSION:  I washed and washed and washed my hair some more.

And the darn color wouldn’t lighten.

 

And then I had a sudden realization this morning.

I was washing my hair with that darn “Color Shield” shampoo.

YIPPEE:  We didn’t have soccer tonight.

 

BUMMER:  Well, actually we did.  We were just too exhausted and beat up to go.  Itty Bit and I fell asleep reading on the floor at 7:30 tonight.

 

 

CONFESSION:  I kind of sort of have a thing for Scholastic books.

 

And I may have sort of gone overboard.

 

But it’s educational.  (What?!?  Mater is educational!)

Because the kid needs all the help he can get with such a brilliant mother (see Hair Color Fail above).

YIPPEE:  We took the kiddos out last week – and they HAD A BLAST.

Cutie Left and Itty Bit

 

BUMMER:  Will someone please burn that Jazzercise class smell out of the McD’s playground?

 

CONFESSION:  Cindy Lou Hoo’s superpower is impressive.

She charmed yours truly into going into that forsaken germified structure.  I risked eternal mortification (HEADLINE: LOCAL DEAF WOMAN TRAPPED INSIDE YELLOW SPIRAL SLIDE, EXPERTS SAY BUTT IS TOO BIG) to see that smile.

Twice.

 

RANDOM FACT:  Lysol and Clorox don’t even touch the smell that is now engraved in my mind.

And because I love y’all and no post would be complete without some BOY humor…

 

YIPPEE:  We took the same kids out to a hibachi lunch.

Where they fuh-reaked out…

Yes, that’s a yippee.  Because they had a blast once they wet themselves a couple of times.

 

BUMMER:  We couldn’t tear the boys away from the fountain afterward.

 

CONFESSION:  They totally looked like they were peeing.

 

RANDOM FACT:  You would have climbed into that McD’s playground for them too, you know it.

 

(Linking up this shot to Rachel at and then she {snapped} – because this is totally a personality snapshot of every.one.of.those.silly.kids :)
