Stumble It!
One of the greatest things about having little kids is just how literal they are. For instance, just this past weekend my wife had created a VERY long "Honey-do" list for me considering it was a long weekend.
When we moved in to this house 6 years ago, we had 4 kids and 4 bedrooms. They obviously were not going to get the master bedroom..so that left 3 bedrooms between 4 kids. So, rather than shack them up together, I decided to convert our den in to another room. So, I had to put up walls and a door. Well, now that all the older kids are moved out, we no longer need to have that extra room - so - one of the things on the list was for me to tear down those walls.
If anyone has ever torn down plaster-board walls, you know what a mess that creates - dust everywhere! After I was done, I vacuumed as best I could. However, there was still a fine coat of dust all over the carpeting. I told my wife that I needed to steam clean the carpeting and told her I needed to run to the store to buy some steam-vac carpet cleaner. To which she replied she had already purchased some.
While Ryan was standing next to her, I commented "Wow, Mommy! You're really on the ball today!" Ryan was very quick to point out "Mommy's not on a ball."
Well - I obviously had lots of fun with that - you know - the whole - sure she is...to which he continues to look for the ball, etc etc. Anyway - that is one of my favorite - among many other things, that I just really love about having little kids around. They remind us that there are always two meanings to the words we use!

I remember when my father had torn down all of the walls in the kitchen and put new walls up. It was horrible, I locked myself in my room for days just because of the dust everywhere and having a very low tolerance for dust. Not a good time.
Hi Holly! Thanks for stopping by here! That dust is awful - not not only did it cover the carpeting, I also had to change out all the air filters in the home - I tried as best as I could to keep it from the other rooms, but, it is so fine it was everywhere!
Great story!!!
I have tried to link you and the link is there but your little guy does not show up.
Any suggestions. I am sure it could be something very silly and simple that I am doing wrong...
Thanks,
Toni
Hi Toni,
Thanks for stopping in. I tested the code myself - very wierd - it didn't work when I did a copy paste - apparently, the entire http:// etc disappears and just leaves the "avatarb" part.
The code that I have there for you to copy is the exact code I have on my page and it works. I don't understand why it's not working when I copy/paste it elsewhere. Perhaps I need to come up with a new avatar? :^)
Anyway, I did see that you have me linked on your page. I'll work something out and let ya know. Also, I'll add your badge to my page as well.
Thanks much!
