Hodgepodge

Well, I cannot believe it but it's raining yet again. I didn't gripe. I just stated the fact that it is in fact raining again. We have outdoor plans for this evening and I will be disappointed if they have to be cancelled. I won't complain or be selfish or ungrateful to God for this bountiful blessing of rain but I may be a little hard to live with. My kids on the other hand, they are selfish little folks- they are gonna be mad!!

We went to the lot yesterday and walked around our concrete. The kids thought it was great fun to find their bedrooms and try to guess what went to each of the plumbing tubes and pipes. Nope, there are still no porches. Too muddy for the concrete trucks to get in. Besides the fact that it would probably be raining again by the time they got in there. Not griping, just saying. And they can't pour the pretty concrete in the rain- could get dings in it. There will be no dings in my pretty, pretty porches. Course they may not be poured until the drought of 2012 but whatever.

I don't have pictures to share because we went after I took the kids to see Shrek 3. It was okay as far as kid movies go (which is all I have seen in the theater in oh, like 6 years) But I am hoping this is as far as the Shrek saga goes. I don't remember the 1st one being so blatantly adult and I don't remember the 2nd one at all although the kids assure me we saw it and I'm sure we did. At one point, Fiona tells Shrek she is pregnant- he is on a ship going out to sea- Puss in Boots says "You're...." and the ships horn blows at that moment. The implication was that he was saying "You're screwed" Of course, Caroline looks at me immediately wants to know what he would've said. Being the completely mature, excellent parental figure that I am I said, "SHHHHH! Watch the movie"

An aside to any parents out there who haven't yet seen it they also make a reference to the favorite Mom question of all time "where do babies come from?" Which I am sure, would make a pleasant discussion at the theater. My kids know the answer to that question so they both thought that part was hilariously funny.

And finally, just to give you a glimpse into the bizarre world of Cumby humor. There is a character in the movie called "Puss in Boots". Due to an unfortunate mixing of phrases, Duncan has already learned that there is a very ugly word that we never, ever use that starts with the same letters as puss. So, he refuses to say the characters name. He simply spells "P-U-S-S" in boots. Cracks me up every time.
