Things said this week in my house that made me laugh.

Dad, these eggs smell like Jasper. Said by Christopher after Chris put a plate of scrambled eggs in front of him. They didn't taste like Jasper, I guess.


Is Emily gonna have muscles?
Said by Cameron after Emily said she was gonna have to workout and get some muscles over the summer before she takes PE next year in school.


Oh crap! Gross!
Said by Emily when she realized she left her lunch in her backpack overnight.


Where is that retard? Said by Amanda when Kenny was taking too long to get home.
I'm right here! Said by Christopher in response to Amanda's question.
Are you blind? Said by Emily to Amanda after Christopher's response. (I laughed at Christopher and Emily....not Amanda.)



Get the car out of your pants. Said to Cameron. The rest is self-explanatory.



It is not a hat; it's a bucket! And dogs don't wear hats! Said by me to Cameron when he was trying to force a hat(bucket) onto Jasper's head.

Take your eyes off of him for 5 minutes.....

And you get this.....



How he got the painter's tape from the top of the fridge???? I dunno.

The ShamWOOHOO

Wolverine

Yesterday Chris and I went to the drive-in theatre to see Wolverine. I don't recommend seeing anything at a drive-in by the way, unless you LIKE breathing secondhand smoke. The screen was pretty hard to see also, probably because the movie itself was shot in shadowy scenes. I dunno. I didn't really want to go see it because I heard it was a snoozer. LIES, all lies! I kept waiting for it to get boring. Didn't happen, not for me or Chris anyway. It was pretty action packed. But I don't care for very many action packed movies, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. This movie could be a total snoozefest to other people. But, we liked it. Hey, if any of my two readers go watch it, or have already seen it, can you clue me in on what the scene is after the credits? Cool, thanks. See, I'm married to Mr. Impatient, and he wanted to leave like pronto after the movie was over. And I was like, naw man, let's see if there's anything at the end of the credits. And he was like, I doubt it. And I don't know what else he said cause all I heard was waaaaahhhh, wahhh, wahh. We sat there till the credits were probably halfway over and I started to think, Cheryl you're gonna feel bad if there's nothing after the credits and he had to sit here for nothing. So I said, "Ok we can go if ya want." So we did, but left the radio on the station. Sure enough, we get right outside the drive-in and hear Wolverine saying something about being Canadian something something. Grrrr. Ah well, we'll see it again I'm sure when the base theatre decides to show it.
Anywho, that's all I got for now. Not much, but it's something.

Next Time I Fly...I Want This Guy

Our Quiet Sunday

We sat in church with Mitt Romney and his wife last Sunday. Neener neener! Just wanted to throw that in because, well, it was kinda neat to see him in person just doing normal people stuff. No talking, no speeching, just worshipping. He's just a person.

Later we went to the Spreckles Organ Pavillion. Sunday is the only day it is open. It is one of the world's largest outdoor pipe organs. It has 4530 pipes; the smallest is the size of an average pinkie finger and the largest is 32 feet. That's what they said when we were there anyway. I didn't think I would like the music; I just wanted to see the pipes. But WOW! I never, never, never imagined the work that it takes to play this instrument. The organist looked like she was dancing in her seat. Her feet were moving all over the place. I just never knew. I actually never cared to know. I now have a huge appreciation for anyone who says they play the organ. Wow...kudos to them. I still wouldn't want to sit through a full concert of organ music though. If you're interested in seeing and hearing the San Diego Spreckels Organ, click here and click the bottom arrow on the screen that opens. The Spreckels is the second to last, titled Sabre Dance San Diego. And two up from that is another one where you can see the footwork, titled Pedal Solo San Diego. It's really cool. To me anyway. Here's my pics of it...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. This concert was a benefit concert for San Diego Humane Society. there were many many dogs there. See?

We then enjoyed a walk through the Botanical Garden. Pretty dang neat. There was a plant there that smelled just like Girl Scout Thin Mints. Really, no lie. Did you know there was such a thing? I didn't, but here it is.....

They're just sooooo enthusiastic aren't they?

Chris's pics.

Here I Am.

Sorry about the lack of updates. My computer is a dinosaur and likes to lock up quite often. So, I kinda stopped trying. It's been two weeks since TV free week and I'm sure no one is really interested, so I'm just gonna throw it all together in one post and be done with it. When we do TV free week again in September, I will do better with posting. All of these pics and museums were on Tuesday.

We went to Balboa park and enjoyed the Japanese Friendship Garden, which was the favorite for Cameron and Gabriel because of the giant fish.


Enjoyed some very overpriced non-water....


We went to the Mingei International Museum...


Museum of Man....


All worn out...


Success!...


We also planted a few flowers, chalked the patio, blew bubbles, played with glue and fuzzy stuff and pipe cleaners, played with water, colored with markers on a felt poster, tattooed Cameron and Gabriel, water balloons, water guns and allot of other stuff that I can't remember.
So really, we had a ton of fun without screens. The little guys were worn out every day. They went to sleep at a decent time and the rest of us were able to have some time in the evenings without them wanting something every two minutes. We made it to Wednesday without turning on the TV. Wednesday night, I really wanted to see who got voted off of the Adam Lambert Show, AKA American Idol. So we watched the Tuesday night show that we had on DVR and then watched the Wednesday night show live. Then the TV was off again till Friday night.

We never made it to the tide pools. When I turned on the computer Wednesday night, it wouldn't load the tide charts, so I didn't know when low tide was.

We've been back to Balboa park 2 times since then. I'm glad we did the TV free week and am looking forward to doing it again. We had lots of fun.
