The Dora Mitten.


Who: Raspberry and Mom

Setting: In the car on our way to school and work this morning

Atmosphere: A bit on the scowling side, but lightening up as we drive (provide food and she is happy)

Conversation:

Raspberry: Mom?

Mom: Yes sweetheart? (I'm so nice in the mornings)

Raspberry: Mom, I need my Dora mitten.

Mom: You need what?

Raspberry: My Dora mitten.

Mom: Honey, I don't think I..., what Dora mittens honey (I'm still so nice).

Raspberry: Mom! (mad voice) Give me my Dora Mitten.

Mom: Honey (slightly agitated, but still nice), sweetheart do you mean your gloves for snow?

Raspberry: Mom! The Mitten in the bag! The Dora Mitten in the bag!

Mom: (completed perplexed) The Dora Mittens in the bag? Honey... (what bag? what mittens?)

Raspberry: MOM!!! You put it in the bag in the kitchen!!!

Mom: I did? (still driving, completely perplexed), in the kitchen?... OH! OH! (laughing) You mean your Dora Vitamin?

Raspberry: Yes! I said that, my Dora Vita-mitten.

Mom: Here you go (laughing hysterically).

Raspberry: Thank you!

Love this picture


I stole this from my sister's blog. I don't think she will care. I absolutely love this photo.

Yea to you sis, for finding amazing photos.

One of these things is not like the other.




Can you tell which one of us had the stomach flu over Easter weekend? Was it

a: Raspberry
b: Soda (real name)
c. Mom
d: Chocolate Chip

If you picked "d" you are a winner! I know Soda looks sick, but he actually just got shoved by Raspberry, that plus poor picture quality (camera phone).

Poor CC. I have never had the opportunity to see someone look white and a light shade of green at the same time. Don't be worried, he is all better. Anybody who eats a can of Ravoli for lunch the next day has got to be feeling well.

Homemaker


This poem, passed on to me by my friend Elisha, made me feel a whole lot better. By the time I get home from work, get dinner ready, go over homework, give baths, clean up dinner, and read scriptures with my kids, our poor house seems to be lost in a pile of clutter. I told my friend, "I think I need a wife."

I don't know who wrote the poem, but I like it.

Raspberry's birthday photos (only a month late)

Cush - 61 items about my cute sister

61 random things about my cute sister that I am now posting on my blog (with a few random comments from me).

(photos coming soon...)

1. What is in the back seat of your car right now?
Golf Clubs, Golf Shoes, Socks, 2 water bottles and an empty Coca Cola bottle. Do you have to sound so perfect? Can't you add something like, oh yea, and a wrapper from a piece of gum. Do you really throw EVERY LITTLE wrapper away? Nothing gets on your floor? A speck of dirt?

2. When was the last time you threw up

1994 – Joe, Pete, Tequilla….it wasn’t good. Ew! That's disgusting (from raspberry)

3. What's your favorite curse word?
dumbaxx
Cush! you swore on my blog! Rude!

4. Name three people who made you smile today?
Mr. Geisey – He thanked me for ordering such a nice day for him, Mr. Glen Smith told some funny jokes and my cat Angel who was mad at me for leaving this morning meowed constantly when I got home (I think she was telling me off). I'd tell you off too! Raspberry said she wouldn't meow, she would bark. Like a dog.

5. What were you doing at 8 am this morning?
Working- on a Sunday…I know!
hmm...
6. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Running around the circle in my neighborhood, I can run one mile in 12 minutes now - and the guilt keeps piling on.

Sleeping - Stop wasting time. Get up!

9. What is the last thing you said aloud?
My sister’s blog is so funny -

Oh please, stop with the flattery.It's too much.

Chocolate.

What about chocolate with chocolate chunks in chocolate swirls? Wouldn't that be better?

11. What was the last thing you had to drink?

sweat pants, running shoes, T-Shirt
No socks? You could ruin your shoes not to mention you feet probably smell really bad. Stop that.

Nemo…I needed a laugh. Try watching Blazing Saddles. That's funny!

People who treat others like they are below them (yes I work at a Country Club). Stand on a really big box when they come in so they feel short.
