Fancy Pants


When I asked the kids what they wanted to be for Halloween, Jackson replied, "Fancy Pants!" Uh, what?? He wants to be Fancy Pants. A quick google search and I found this guy from this game. That's who he wants to be ...

Easy enough, I guess. I whipped up a pair of orange, bell-bottomed pants last night. I'm thinking I might make them shorter so he doesn't trip himself. (As, ahem, I have several times since wearing my lounge pants.) When I asked him if he should wear a tan, long sleeved shirt with his costume (to look like he's shirtless), he replied, "No, a black shirt. He's a stick figure drawn in black." And he definitely wants the spiky hair.

This so reminds me of last Halloween when Carter wanted to be the "Middle Age man who starts a town riot." Remember that? I don't know where they get this.

How wonderful and hillarious! They may seem like funny ideas, but the best part is that you really listen to them and try to make it happen! That is wonderful.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
