PINTEREST FAIL

There is a foot soak circulating Pinterest that I thought I'd give a try this afternoon.

"Ideal to help with those crusty feet!  Get it right ladies!! …the BEST way to get your feet ready for summer.  Sounds crazy but it works!  Mix 1/4c Listerine (any kind but I like the blue), 1/4c vinegar and 1/2c of warm water. Soak feet for 10 minutes–the dead skin will practically wipe off!"  

 I had all the ingredients on hand and 10 minutes, so why not?

Friends, I'm using my serious face, remove this pin from your boards.  It doesn't work.

I made two separate batches because I didn't have a container that would fit both of my feet and sat back and relaxed.

Besides making my feet tingly fresh feeling, the only thing it did was make my feet pruney and blue.  No skin was sloughed off.  My skin remained and was turned a shade of watery blue color that makes my toes look bruised.

Unfortunately, the photos don't do it justice, which is a bummer because it was quite hilarious.

I feel ready for seeing Smurf 2 tomorrow with the wee ones!

AND, now I can say that I have turned my eyebrows black, my hair purple and my toes blue!

IT'S TOM SELLECK'S BIRTHDAY TODAY AND

we celebrated....

With a mustache cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!

PS - If you'd like to make your own mustache cake, it's super easy.  Make your cake in a 9-inch round.  When cooled, cut a yin and yang and flip one of them.  Put on icing and you have yourself a mustache cake.

LUNCH, WITH A SIDE OF ROSES AND A SMOOCH

The Soul Sisters got together for lunch today. As we were finishing up, one of our favorite husbands, Dwight, came to our table with a bouquet of red roses. He handed us all a rose with a sweet note saying "I ROCK!" Heather, his is wife, got the remaining roses and a sweet note saying, "YOU ROCK!"Before he left, our deliverer of warm fuzzies and laughter gave us all a smooch. Some kisses on the forehead and some on the lips, but I don't kiss and tell.
Dwight, you made our day and I'm never washing my forehead again.

APPLE PIE 101

My man clan had an apple pie class yesterday, in honor of President's Day, and it was delicious. However, there was one problem. I forgot to have them put a couple of tablespoons of flour in the apple mixture to thicken. When we cut into the pie, it looked like apple soup.

We need to have the 101 class again, this time making sure we follow directions!

ADORNING THE TREE

wasn't finished, according to the wee ones. They took it upon themselves to add some finishing touches while we were occupied with other Christmas tasks.Snowman mask and pliers. I love how the tree limb is coming through the snowman's eye!
Batman.
Bows and a lot of kindling. I love their imagination and team work and their additions will remain on the tree.

PS - there is also a green lantern mask hanging from a limb, how'd I miss that ?! So funny!

LARRY GOT THE REWARD FOR THE FUNNIEST FIND

this weekend.I thought it was hilarious!

ZZZZZZZZZ....

Are you one of those people that can take a nap anywhere. I'm usually not, but the atmosphere at the Les Schwab Amphitheater was amazing, we had perfect weather, and in spite of the growing crowd, it was relaxing. I almost joined him for a cat nap before the concert but thought taking pictures of him would be more fun.

HAVE A REFRESHING WEEKEND

2007 Pender Harbour

This photo makes me laugh, I should have sent it in to Jay Leno.

I HUMILIATED MYSELF AT WINCO

My son wanted an sub sandwich from the grocery store. I found the one he wanted but I thought the ham didn't look good. It wasn't nice and pink.

I put it back and grabbed another. The ham didn't look good on that sandwich either. I did this 5 times and all of them had the same problem.

So, I began to wonder. Does ham have light and dark meat like chicken?

I asked the lady next to me, "Is ham supposed to look like this?"

She replied, "That is roast beef."
Mortified!! How do you explain your way out of that?!

"I don't eat meat and this sandwich is for my son,"was all I could think of.

She replied, "Men love roast beef, so you're doing a good job."

True story.

HOMEMADE ZIPLINE

What a team these two are. Do you think we will be visiting the Emergency Room anytime soon?

PS - Don't you love how there is a hula-hoop in the center of the zipline?

SHOE TREE

At first glance, we thought the tree was full of birds. Nope, it's full of shoes!

NAME CHANGE

The wee ones have requested to be called LL Sunglasses (left) and LL (right). Now you know.

IF YOU HAVE A DIRTY CAR

and you discover this picture (which is a Darth Maul interpretation) on your vehicle,you have been tagged by our three year old.

DON'T CRY OVER SPILLED MILK

Quote of the day: "I never knew milk could be this fun!"

HIS BODY IS A CANVAS

This is what happens when brothers babysit.

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY TO

celebrate Tom Selleck's birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM!

DIPPYLULU

Loving these gag matches.
I can't decide which ones I like the best - they all crack me up!

DID YOU KNOW?

After inquiring about a few changes to the nativity, I found that, according to my 5 year old, it would have been so much more fun to longboard to baby Jesus than to walk.
So who knows, we might have had some longboarding wise men.

"IT SNOWS IN ALASKA

and it snows at the North Pole, so maybe Santa is Uncle Steve's neighbor!"

The Xbox is broke and the boys are trying to figure out how to score another one. While I'm getting a kick on how their brains work, I'm reminiscing about the awesome, incredible, breathtaking beautiful, uber fun Alaska weekend the wee ones and I had in May 2009.

SHE JUMPED!

It's not her day for a bath, but wanted to play with the wee-est, so she jumped.
