Something to think about

While searching for a mole hill we stumbled over a mountain…

Workout of the week:

Falling down,

Now you might think there is absolutely no exercise value in falling down, and you’re right. The exercise comes when you have to get back up in order to repeat this exercise.

This workout works best when gravity is used...

Inspired,

While reading other blogs in which a favorite paragraph from a favorite book was used, we felt overwhelmingly inspired with the idea of sharing ours.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters."

And we wonder why we don’t have any neighbors…and are still single too for that matter.

Who's Next?

A vendor, who is well known for calling out "Who's next?" when ever there is no one buying in his booth, was walking by the favorite family’s booth when the favorite father called out to him, in the best Chicago accent he could muster, "Who's next?"
A little boy about 5 years old, who was standing by the booth, thought that was the greatest sentence ever and burst out like an Echo, in an accent only an Indiana boy can master, "Who's next?" Only it came out more like a song and seemed to sound like, "Whooooo's Neaaxt?"

*Warning!*

This blog has been placed on pause by the authors.

The rumors surrounding this sudden action are as follows:
They’ve gone gallivanting…They broke all their fingers and none of them know how to tell someone else how to write what’s in their empty heads…they’ve found brothers and are eloping...the FBI finally found them and all the hidden files…Or even better, they are suffering from writer’s block and think it can be cured in a southern state…ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ah aha ah ah aha ha ah aha hahahah hee hehe…that can’t be it…

Young One Eye…

The youngest child was sitting beside the favorite mother on the couch eating a cheese stick while young one eye watched hungrily from his seat beside her. The favorite mother reached over and covered young one eyes eye so he couldn’t see the youngest child eat. Unfortunately, she mistakenly covered the missing eye and young one eye was unfazed in his drooling.

Old business

During one of the first fire meetings the youngest child attended she was lucky enough to be a part of the following conversation, you will see why she continues to go.

The fire fighters were discussing old business.
"Someone needs to call the carpenter about putting in a new door." The assistant chief brought up the obvious.
"I already did, he said he’d get it done as soon as the door is shipped in." The secretary reassured.
"When was that?" The chief asked.
"A few weeks ago." The secretary answered again, being, after all the only person who knows anything.
"Must be a shortage of doors going on." The captain/clown injected. He then jabbed the safety officer in the ribs as he added. "We should start a door business; probably be good money right now with the shortage huh?"
"You bet! Wonder what’s caused it." The safety officer commented in bafflement.
"It’s them cops!" Came a grumpy answer from someone who would know, "They keep bashing in all the doors." This, surprisingly enough, effectively ended the door shortage debate.

College courses

It is odd, that in a house full of graduated college, eur well, graduates, a dog should be placed in our midst who seems to have an abundance of enthusiasm for the improvement of his mind. Whenever the favorite mother says, "Do you want to take some college courses." the favorite one-eyed mutt runs circles around her and slobbers in such a happy manner that the favorite mother is compelled to say it over and over again. This in turn makes the one-eyed mutt so dog wild that he randomly runs into things on his blind side. Now for amusements sake, our favorite past time most evenings and especially around suppertime is bringing up "college courses."

And so that is how college reentered the everyday conversation of two post college anti-knowledge syndromed girls…Ha ha there was a cure!

This weeks workout

Just do last Thursdays workout again…

what the middle child has to put up with every day...

Youngest Child: "What did the one math book say to the other math book?"
Middle child: "I have a lot of problems."
Youngest child: "Sorry to hear that middle child. Want to talk about it?"

Another one for the Texas Grandma

The oldest child had just come home from town when she walked in on her two silly sisters complaining about gas keeping friends away.
"Well, no one comes to visit me either." The favorite Texas grandma said, trying to make them feel less abandoned.
"You have friends coming to visit today grandma." The oldest child contradicted bluntly.
"I do?" Grandma was all astonishment.
"Yeah," The oldest child went on while every one stared in surprise, "I past at least two cars going 30mph in a 50 zone. They must be coming to see you. Probably be here in a few hours."

Deep thoughts by Blueberry

Oh, boy…now my brain hurts…

The Day Before Yesterday

The favorite Texas grandma got lost...well, the favorite family couldn’t find her anyway, so she might as well have been lost. The favorite Texas grandpa brought her home from golfing a few hours after her disappearance was discovered, reports have been confirmed that he was the driver of the get away car as well as her partner in crime. The favorite Texas Grandma now knows better than to leave the happy place with out telling someone.

A grouse fell off a log and disappeared leaving nothing but his feathers.

We have come up with two possible explanations to what might have happened to the unfortunate bird.

1. A hunter shot the bird on a log in the woods off a road. It completely disintegrated because the gun was too big.

2. Two silly girls were hunting. They shot the bird in the woods off a road. They cleaned the bird leaving nothing but feathers and set the carcass up on a log as a decoy. They then giggled the whole way home.

Perhaps both explanations are needed to fully explain what happened on the log that day.

We’ve begun our trap line

By our calculations, we should have enough mouse skins for a fur coat in about 100 years.

Workout of the week:

Begging the question

To do this workout properly you must ask a question with out using a question mark. And since the only time we were ever capable of doing this workout was when we were in college, we will not try to coach you on how to do it. Just practice it a bit while we do the same.

A good question.

*Why is today a special day?

A. It’s the first day of fall
B. The oldest child is here
C. It’s the middle child’s birthday
D. It’s the youngest child’s birthday
E. It's not really a special day at all
F. All of the above



*Hint, there are only three right answers…

why? Oh, why?

Stupid geese…now they’re flying north!

Did you smell that?

The best smell in the world is the scent of gunpowder on opener day...unless of course it comes from someone else’s gun.

"Someday we'll get our chance, we just got to keep our eyes open."
