OMGosh!! Do I have some good ones for you this month!!! ROFLMBO!!!!!









I have been having Joshua and Deanna help out with supper a lot lately. The fibro has NOT been kind to me....

ANYWAY, I am resting in my room when the following happens.

Deanna opens the door and walks in. She has a beater from the mixer STUCK IN HER HAIR!!!!

Deanna - Momma, Momma!!! Help me get this out!!!!

Me - *hysterical laughter* Can't breath!!! *more hysterical laughter* I'll help you..... Just give me a second. *more hysterical laughter*

Deanna - This is going on your blog isn't it?

Me - You better believe it.

I almost grabbed my camera.... LOL ;)









Deanna and I are in my room chatting when Joshua walks in.

Joshua - Did you know if you smack a bonkey's mutt...

Deanna shoots Sprite out of her nose.

I collapse in a fit of laughter with tears streaming down my face.

We never did find out what happens if you smack a monkey's butt.....









While we were at The Wilderness at the Smokies we had to get on the elevator about a thousand times.

Deanna - You can run out of air in an elevator!!!

Me - Ummm... NO, you can't!

Deanna - Yes!! You can!

Me - Ummmm... NO, YOU CAN'T! It's isn't air tight or anything!!  Air can still get in!









Cailey to Deanna - I am just so unappreciated.











SIGH......

The Hubby's friend talked him into playing Farmville 2. Then the rest of us were roped in. SIGH.... And now we are all addicted.

At least a few times a day you can hear The Hubby on the phone with his friend having serious conversations about crops and livestock. Trust me, it's freakin' hilarious!!!!



On more Farmville 2 news......

The Hubby to me - Your farm is a mess! There are animals everywhere! You know what that means.... Animal sh*^.....

Me to The Hubby - You realize it isn't a real farm, right???? There is NO animal crap!!!!









We are watching The Voice on DVR when The Hubby starts fast forwarding.

Me - What are you doing? I want to hear the stories!!

The Hubby - I don't! I don't want to hear about some "unique, 2 armed, one legged man". They will only get by because the audience feels sorry for them. (There was actually no story of the kind. He was just being facetious.)

A few days later we are watching The Walking Dead with Joshua and Deanna. Hershel comes on the screen and Deanna busts out laughing!!

Deanna - OMGOSH!! It's a unique, 2 armed, one legged man!!!!!

The Hubby was not amused.... But the rest of us thought it was hilarious!! ;)









Colin and Deanna are playing Harry Potter Legos together.

Colin lets one rip.

Colin to Deanna - That wasn't in the game!

He then starts laughing hysterically.





Deanna - Oh! Hey! I can lick my armpit!!!



Cailey - I can make my neck fart!!!!!!



Colin to Cailey - Cailey, just look at the predicament you got us into!!!



Colin - She means that wigglerly. (He meant literally.)



There's more but dumby me forgot to write them down!!



Don't forgot to check out the other blogs!!!
