Happy Mother's Day

We spent the morning at the park and the monkeys helped KingKong do dishes and vacuum as I was being lazy on the couch otherwise occupied.

MonkeyButt has decided he'd like to have a Nintendo DS. Sometime today, while I was snoring busy, he and KingKong decided to discuss setting up an allowance system. Heh. CuriousGeorge was on board. Those monkeys did NOT lift a finger today without checking first to see if it was "going toward our allowance money?"

So, this afternoon, as I was testing my new hammock mowing the lawn, the monkeys decided to finish up some dishes and another round (because there are several in a day) of picking up the living room.

I came inside to a bunch of puffy-chested proud boys (KingKong included) proclaiming their love for me with sudsy hands.

MonkeyButt: See the living room, Mommy? I picked up and
vacuumed.

CuriousGeorge: And I helped him and I did the dishes.

MonkeyButt: Yeah Mommy, we did it alllllllllll for YOU!

CuriousGeorge: ...And the MONEY...

Wordless Wednesday

Innocent pic, huh? ...'Til you zoom out!...

6,828

That's how many pictures are saved on my Adobe Photoshop. 6,828. I'd like to tell you that's since MonkeyButt was born 7.5 years ago, but it's not. The 6,828 photos have been uploaded since the day the Twinkeys were born in July. Whoa.

I just uploaded a couple one minute videos of the Twinkeys and a warning came up that said low disk space. 86.1 MB available on a 55 GB hard drive. I don't think that's very much. Heh.

I'm off to hit delete!!

Hopefully I'll post a couple hundred favorites soon. But I could be deleting 'til dawn! Good thing KingKong's working late tonight!! Ooh, and Idol's on tonight. Hmmm, maybe I'll get through the first couple thousand by then. Pssh.

PS. I added an updating blogroll to my sidebar. I only made it through half of my favorites before stopping to video the Twinkeys and all that jazz, so don't be offended if you're not on there yet...that's next on my to-do list. (Oh, and if you are offended, just let me know and I'll add you right now!) ;op

I'm Seeing Red

If you know what I mean.

I'm okay. I've discovered/cleared up my feelings yesterday and still feel it's best for our family to wait a bit, but I can now say that if I had an oopsie, I wouldn't panic.

TMI, sorry. :op

Greedy Little MonkeyButt

After T-ball the other night, we took the Monkeys to Arby's cause we wanted fast food, but we wanted something a little different (read: less nugget-shaped). $28.46 later, our bellies were full. *sigh*

Until, KingKong remembered the sign on the window for Chocolate Turnovers. He took SpiderMonkey to the car while CuriousGeorge, MonkeyButt and I ordered four. One for me, one for KingKong, one for CuriousGeorge, and one for MonkeyButt. It was late and the kiddos fell asleep in the car, so we decided that instead of chocolate marshmallowy cereal for breakfast, they might as well just have the chocolate turnovers.

Chocolate.HEAVEN. For real. You HAVE to go get some!!

KingKong forgot them in the car (which thankfully the night temps are the temps of the inside of the refridgerator anyway), so before the monkeys got up the next morning, I ran out and got them. And I ate one. Okay, two. Y.U.M!

The next day, when we were out running errands...

MonkeyButt: Mom, we should go to Arby's and get more of those
Choc-ohhhhhh-late Turn-ohhhh-vers (with crazy
I-wanna-be-eating-sugar-lots-n-lots-of-sugar eyes)

LadyKong: Oh, really? (I could just picture the chocolate
handprints the three of them would be placing on my car seats and
windows)

MonkeyButt: Ya, we should get four... one for me, one for
CuriousGeorge, one for SpiderMonkey, and... another one for ME!

LadyKong: *gasp* What about me??!?
