Monty Python’s Mountain Climber Scene

For Make Me Laugh Monday, now hosted by Storm at All Things Cherished:
Some days, I feel I am climbing uphill everywhere I go, even on a flat street.
This was another memorable skit from those brilliant Brits, Monty Python! Are YOU climbing an ascent today?

A Baby (Bird) Story

Remember these? One more was laid after I took this picture.

Remember her? She’s a Swainson’s Thrush (I think).

As of yesterday, she has these.

We’re positively giddy here at the Let the dog in! household.
Stay tuned for feathers.

a cuppa, cuppa what?…a.k.a., how to freak mommy out

We were in the bathroom multitasking, me brushing my teeth, her on the potty. Yes, a regular Norman Rockwell scene (now THAT’S what we want hanging on our wall!).
I finish brushing, take a sip of water and spit.
“Mommy, have you ever peed in a cup?”
“Yes,” I said finishing my last gulp. […]

Cabela’s!…it’s REI on steroids

Have you been to a Cabela’s?
Do you even know what Cabela’s is? I knew. I’d seen the catalogs. Heck, I’d even ordered from their slim selection of women’s clothes (pink camo IS coming back).
But none of that prepared me for their new store in Washington, south of Tacoma in Lacey.
Think REI, but […]

Paging Ms. Nightingale…please report to sick Kid duty

My fab nursing abilities apparently come with an expiration date…..
day 1: Oh, poor BAYYYYBY! Come to mommy! *hugs*
day 2: Still feeling bad? (hm, missing summer preschool morning session…oh well) Here, sit on my lap! Have a popsicle!
day 3: Hot forehead AGAIN?! Now, where’d I put that thermometer? Look, Daddy’s home from […]

Learn-A-Word Wednesday: lenity \LEN-uh-tee\

noun:
The state or quality of being lenient; mildness; gentleness of treatment; leniency.
Lenity comes from Latin lenitas, from lenis, “soft, mild.”

We have a lot of lenity (a word my spellcheck is denying!) going on around here. I know because Kid a) ate a popsicle IN BED the other night, and b) ate a popsicle IN […]
