Finding the perfect gift~

Today I had to write a 150 word paper. My original was 207! I was impressed with myself. So, they gave me a list of things to choose from. Such as "Baby-sitting." Or "Best family vacation" But...I decided that I actually knew about that and I should do something I knew nothing about, so I could make it all up and sprinkle imagination into it. So I choose "Finding the perfect gift for someone you have never met before" Now...No one could ever know to much about this. My finishing product was actually quite humorous that I decided to share my result with the world so they can use my technique also. (And then let me know if it works)  So here it is 8 steps to finding the perfect gift.

Finding the perfect gift. 

Step 1.) Go to the store

Step 2.) Pick out 10 things that you would get for yourself or your best friend.

Step 3.) Rule out all clothes!! 

Step 4.) Rule out all the things you would Not get for you own mother. 

(Such a thing would not be appropriate for a stranger) 

Step 5.) (If there is anything left) Rule out the more expensive items that would represent them being your "best friend". 

Step 6.) Now you have the remaining 2-3 items. Rule out the ones that might break or shatter.

Step 7.) Purchase remaining item.

Step 8.) Pray! And hope for the best

(Flip side for help if receiver of gift is male) 

^^^^^^^

No, my paper actually said that! Only I have to admit my flip side was empty. :-) 

My creativeness well had run dry by then. Or...My self control was just kicking in! YOU will never know.

I will let you all know how this works out one day. For now...enjoy the suspense! I will....

                 

My scarring experience.

Today our little 6 and 7 year old charges scarred me. I didn't actually think it to be possible, but it happened. And I SO did not see it coming. They were doing their school on our lovely Monday morning, when it all happened. Daniel ( the six year old ) said  "Oh...How do you write a six? Is it like this? (drawing something that was Not a six)" Now you would not think anything slightly educational like this could scar someone like me. But wait! This story goes on when his older sister said "No. Daniel! Don't you remember? Its the pregnant semi circle" OF ALL THINGS! It caught me so off guard that I didn't even think to laugh. My imagination had never warped a six to look like a pregnant semi circle EVER before. And now it wont stop! I now have to laugh. A six will never look the same to me ever again. But I should tell you as a slight justification for this totally weird statement in their defense, that their mother is a Midwife/Doctor so I can see why this would make sense and be a completely normal way to look at a six. However...I am still scarred. Oh dear.... =/  Haha...Anyways here are some pics from this week. Happy Monday! 

We went for a hike up the hill. I am the brave person in the back. And at the top of the hill was a bench

                                             Where we rested for a good long time....

                                                                          This is probably what we think of you.

 

It was cold. We love to cuddle! :-)

                                                                    
                                      And in my free time....I drew about the thing I was wasting

                                                                            The End.

Ice Skating!!

Today in Ice skating I got to watch my little brother jump in a harness. Basically jumping on puppet strings. Now, What older sister does not like to see her little bro on puppet strings?! So I had to take pictures! :) 

                                        Jonathan and I watched tangled. This is his "Smolder"

                                                     Jon,                 Me                 And Missy

                                        Jerena           Tiff                  Missy          Dorkus


All in all....It was a great afternoon. And the best part? Today was only a small part of a life still mostly un-lived. So, I get to do MORE stuff like this! And that is exciting.

Spring~

Spring is here and so are our chicks!

Believe it or not...I actually thought they were cute till it pooped on me. Bye-bye cuteness factor! You didn't stand a chance! For the time being (thank-goodness for ONLY the time being) they are living inside. I am sure Jonathan thinks they are pets. But don't worry...That horrid train of thought was lost on me! They are not my pet....No, he can keep them. (I Prefer fried) ;-) Inside our house sounds like the woods. Very (and I mean literally) Chipper. THANK-GOODNESS the roosters don't crow yet! But...anyways, Jonathan named his 'pets' Roo and Ster ( is that clever or what?) Jumper, Snow white(???),   Rocketa (she rocks?) So on and so forth. I tried to talk him into names such as "Chicken Nugget" or "Rotisserie" But he ignored me. He did let me name the youngest one "Fillet" though. Thus : The pictures. This is "My" chicken. He let me keep it. Poor thing though without Jonathan's care....would surely die.
