Wordless Wednesday~Undercover Detectives

Meet "Sam" and "Ralph"~World Renowned Undercover Detectives!

This is their surprised look after I solved the mystery of their REAL identities!

No one has ever figured out who these smart crime solving detectives were...until I came along.

Happy Wednesday!

Meet Sam...

Now introducing the newest Sam member of the Molly Lou family. I believe we are up to 1,234 now.

Sam, the millipede.

Mr. rescued him from a parking lot and put him in a Subway cup for the ride home. Sam has taken to his new habitat well and we are going 4 days strong.

Sas, the millipede likes to dine on cucumbers and he has taken well to the constant swaying of "Hurricane Mini #2."

Mini #1 is loving the new pet and wants to sleep with him, but has agreed that it is best for Sam to stay in his home ALL. OF. THE. TIME.

I am thinking this new member is gross, but am putting on the happy and welcoming face.

I don't know how many more "Sams" I can take.

Have a great day.

Tummy Cries

Mini #1: "Mom, you don't want me to cry, right?"

Me: "Of course not. What's wrong Buddy?"

Mini #1: "You don't want me to be sad, right?"

Me: "Of course not, I never want you to be sad. Mommy always wants you to be happy. What's wrong?"

Mini #1: "My tummy is crying. It's crying hard."

Me: "Oh no. Why?"

Mini #1: "It's crying because it wants ice cream a lot and you won't let me have any. Please can I have some for my tummy."

Me: "Nice try. See if your tummy will cry for some fruit."

He always gets an "A for effort" and creativity too. My tummy cries for ice cream too. He is always trying something new. :)

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. The carnival at Mini #1's school was this weekend and that means the Silent Auction and Raffle. It is finally over!!! Hooray!

PS-I was so busy at the end of the week with the silent auction and helping get things ready that I am soooo behind on blogs. Hope to catch up soon! Have a great day!

Frandom

It's Friday. It's Random. It's Frandom.

(Thanks to my good friend Whitney who coined this perfect phrase. Thank goodness she is back in blogland after taking a hiatus.)

*The silent auction at Mini #1's school is tomorrow. THANK THE GOOD LORD! I am so exhausted and my house looked like a silent auction threw up in it. There is stuff EVERYWHERE and you know by now that I am starting to twitch and have been walking around with my little brown bag to aid in the breathing. I am going to spend most of the day setting up at the school and attempting to entertain my children at the same time...Awesome, I know. Say a little prayer for me and do a "No Rain" dance too.

*Andrew Belle was the music on Grey's Anatomy last night and it was fantastic. I have downloaded a few of his tunes. Speaking of Grey's Anatomy, who saw the previews for next week...a nail biter for sure. Don't even get me started on the mental breakdown I had while watching Private Practice. Perhaps a bit of it was due to the fatigue I described from the first frandom point.

*Mini #1's best friend, you know his future wife and pretty much joined at the hip other half, Abby was over yesterday. They were upstairs playing nicely and then came down "dressed up."

Interesting isn't it. Yes, that's my boy and we are SO proud! When I went upstairs, I was greeted by Mini #2's clothes that were previously hanging in her armoire. ALL. OVER. THE. FLOOR. Seriously, all of them. Cute picture though. :)

*My sweet mom is coming up this weekend and the Mini's are thrilled. Mini #1 made up a "Grammy" song. Stay tuned...sure to be on the Billboard charts asap!

Have a wonderful weekend.

We sure do love, love, love The Very Hungry Caterpillar in our home!
Happy Wednesday!

Most Bored in the Whole World

Yesterday, Mini #1 had a dentist appointment and we ran some errands afterwards. On the way home, I had to stop by the bank to take care of a little "issue."

I should have known that this "issue" would not be simple or quick. 2 HOURS LATER we left (that is another story for another day, but I will spare you.)

Mini #2 slept on my shoulder for part of it. Mini #1 read a book, drew on the back of a receipt, and played with other random things in my purse. He was so good, but 2 hours is asking a lot for anyone.

Soon, the end of the world was drawing near and we were going to be stuck in the bank for eternity. The book was really boring, his sister wasn't amusing. at all., and the depths of the purse had been exhausted and in fact, there was no treasure at the bottom of the bag.

Mini #1 sighs and says "I am the most bored in the whole world."

I laughed and told him what a great job he was doing and we would be going shortly. I tickled him, he laughed. We sat there.

The woman behind the desk wasn't working any quicker and I felt the gray hairs just popping out of my head at rapid speed.

Mini #1 "I said already. I am the most bored in the whole world."

Woman behind desk "I bet you are sick of sitting there. Is this really the most boring thing in the whole world for you."

Mini #1 "Well, my mom was talking in the car after the dentist today and that was the most boring."

THANKS SON! I love our chats too and certainly know what to hold over your head from now on.

"Mini #1 if you don't clean this up, I'll have that talk from the car or I'll leave you in the office with the lady from the bank."
