I am off pinterest long enough to blog. And that's it.

Tragedy struck our house last night. See the above pic? Now look close. Hank has been carrying around these 3 items for about five weeks. He comes out of his bedroom in the a.m. fully dressed (shirt/windpants/commando) with his belt on his waist. Duh! Windpants don't have belt loops. He then tucks his gun and sword in his belt and he's good to go. On school days he just wears the belt and then adds the weapons once we are out of the 200ft. "weapon free" zone of school. Now, both the gun and sword are dollar store toys. Dollar store toys last about 94 seconds if your lucky. These toys have slayed dragons, cut up mountain lions, sliced bad ninja's in half, and defeated Darth Vader. Notice all the tape on both? Well, that tape only lasts so long people. And last night was the so long. The orange gun fell on the tile and I heard a gasp followed by sobs....So, what does a mother do when her son is broken hearted over his broken weapons? See below.
She takes them to the dollar store and buys them crazy, why on earth are these made for kids, I'm going to regret this decision in about 10 minutes swords. Yeah, I'm that awesome.

Other than the broken dollar store weapon, things have been good at the Kow house. We sold our Escalade, so I can go on a Briar house shopping spree. Oh...how I wish. But, we really did sell our Escalade. Yeah! Real Housewives of Orange County is back, so that makes me happy as a bird with a french fry. Weather has been freaky awesome. Sunny and warm. So, we've spent lots of time outside soaking up some vit. D. And we are getting ready to go on vacation.....can't wait!!!!!!!

Today I overheard this conversation:

Hank "Brody....did you know there's a time-out chair at school?"

Brody "no, have you been in it?"

Hank "NO!"

Brody "well, there's still time."

ahhhh....brotherly love.
