Black Berry, Black Berry Time!!!

Here are some of my black berries that I picked to make Jam!!

Fun time at the Park

Mom was bored so we walked to the park today, it took me 40 mins to get there.

That is forever when its just down the road.

We spent 1 1/2 hours there and had tons of fun.

For the first time the kids wanted me to take some fun pictures.

On our way home a lady on the way had us stop and get some fresh strawberries out of her garden and told us to take some whenever we walk by all summer!!

I love our community!!!

The cascade park in Salem

After school on friday the boys, dad and I went to salem and went to play at some parks. We ended up at the cascade park behind the walmart by lowes. They have fields and play equipment to play on in the back and in the front a big fishing hole that is connected to a river of sorts. We had some stale goldfish crackers so the boys got to feed the birds. They just walk up to you and throw the food at them. It was a good day.

Goober Dippinpants

I swipped this from a friend and thought it was great. I remember reading this in the book with the kids. Fun times indeed.

We all need a little stress-reliever!
Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to break up the day. Here is a dose of humor...A. Follow the instructions to find your new name.B. Once you have your new name, post it as the title of your post. Include the instructions so everyone can play along! The following is excerpted from a children's book, Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names...So:

1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name:

a = snickle
b = doombah
c = goober
d = cheesey
e = crusty
f = greasy
g = dumbo
h = farcus
i = dorky
j =doofus
k = funky
l = boobie
m = sleezy
n = sloopy
o = fluffy
p = stinky
q = slimy
r = dorfus
s = snooty
t = tootsie
u = dipsy
v = sneezy
w = liver
x = skippy
y = dinky
z = zippy

2. Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:

a = dippin
b = feather
c = batty
d = burger
e = chicken
f = barffy
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = farkle
j = monkey
k = flippin
l = fricken
m = bubble
n = rhino
o = potty
p = hamster
q = buckle
r = gizzard
s = lickin
t = snickle
u = chuckle
v = pickle
w = hubble
x = dingle
y = gorilla
z = girdle

3. Use the third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name

:a = butt
b = boob
c = face
d = nose
e = hump
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = head
l = tush
m = chunks
n = dunkin
o = brains
p = biscuits
q = toes
r = doodle
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u = sprinkles
v = frack
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = hiney
z = juice

Thus, for example, George W. Bush's new name is: Fluffy Chucklefanny. Now when you POST THIS...use your new name as the title. And remember that children laugh an average of 146 times a day; adults laugh an average of 4 times a day. Put more laughter in your day
