How to ROCK THE WORLD of an (almost) six year old

i love how you attack me first. WHAT?

I am busy getting ready for family to come visit.. yeah for living in a place where people want to visit! I still need to put fresh sheets on the beds, but I just had to share something....

You would NOT believe the kind of hits I get from psycho Google searches. I know I could block my blog from getting random searches, but then I would lose a bit of entertainment. I am not kidding you when I say that the following searches have all been done in the last HOUR. Oh, this is good stuff. Click on the links below.. my blog is the first to show up. who are you crazy people? We should totally hang out.

• I love your obsession with me. It's flattering. I love how you post on every blog I make. How you always ask me how my games are then say that I came in #1. I LOVE HOW YOU ATTACK ME FIRST. I am dripping sweat.

Oh, and I counted how many "Getting drunk of Listerine" searches I got today. 42. Why do I find this so entertaining?

This was given to our neighbors after their baptism, but I had to scan it in and document it before we gave it away....

I have been scanning in the kids' artwork so I can chuck it! That's the way I work it.. no diggity. I got to back it up. Once it's in the computer, it goes in the garbage. I scan in about 1/10 of the kids artwork... they each have their own files. I realize that the originals could be worth lots of money one day (when they become famous, of course) but who needs money when you've got fame?

I've realized that if the picture has a story behind it, the explanation should be written ON the work of art. This can be done in any photo software program (including Photoscape, just make the document large enough.) It's made adding their artwork to my blog BOOK super easy. (BTW, my 2008 book is finished... 400+ pages!) Updates on that later. Until then, here's a few masterpieces from my chillins.

ps. HI

I just needed to post this little note I found on the ground a minute ago. I went to throw away yet another scrap piece of paper--one that is SO typical of what I see a million times everyday:

My boys are constantly writing notes to each other or making up treasure hunts, but they NEVER take care of their paper after they are done. I picked it up frustrated, and as I went to throw it in the garbage, I read the inside. And it made me smile.

Now I am dying to know what they did in MY room. Maybe made my bed or put a love note under my pillow... either that or secretly talked about how mean I am being today.


Update: Over dinner tonight (sweet and sour meatballs, if you must ask. It was a little too sweet than I had hoped.. especially after an entire day of eating only Halloween candy!) Anyway, over dinner, I asked the kids WHY they needed to meet in my bedroom and what they talked about once they arrived. They looked at each other, smiled and then said they couldn't talk about it at the table. Interesting. About a minute later, when Zack wasn't paying attention, they whispered that it was a secret planning meeting to get Zack to like his OWN light-saber. His is green, but he never wants to play with it and always fights over the others. So, in my bedroom this afternoon, they figured out that if THEY started picking Zack's because it was cooler than the others.. and openly discussing how GREEN is now their new favorite color, that Zack would eventually follow and start to like his again. Sounds like an excellent plan to me.

If only life was as simple as secret bedroom planning meetings and which light-saber to love the most...
