Brody sang in church on Easter. Which, naturally gave him a great argument as to why he NEEDED the suit at Kohls. Yes, such is the life of Brody. He's been begging for this suit for about 7 months. I didn't buy it because his tuxedo still fit him. Yes, his tuxedo. Now he has a church suit and an appropriate outfit should he get invited to a black tie event.
Every year I make this morbid appetizer. Then we rip off it's appendages and eat 'em.

This is the boys newest joke. Telling me something "stinks in the freezer." When I open the door they giggle.....and I have to say "What is that smell? Something stinks like a skunk!" And then I shut the door and say " Daddy's gonna have to clean the freezer!"

When you are 3 and 5 it doesn't get much funnier people.

P.S. Did you find what they put in there that stinks?

Hank told me he likes these little water bottles because they are "like the little shortys Momma drinks." Yes, his mother does like herself a Rhinelander shorty.

I woke up Good Friday morning and found Brody coloring this picture. He said it was of Jesus and the other 2 people that died on the cross.

I love him.

Another Easter egg hunt

I love these kids. Love them.
A brave Mother, (not me), hosted an Easter egg hunt on Wednesday at her house. Can you say FUN? Her house was the perfect set up. Big yard, lots of trees, perfect bike riding driveway, swing set, and wait for it....wait for it......trampoline!! Herb only left the trampoline for 3 things. Egg hunt, cupcakes, and to pee on a tree. It was such a blast and the Moms and I got to hang out and drink punch and chat. Like when does that ever happen? Never ever.
When it was time to leave and I was buckling the kids in the car I noticed Hank had an accident in his unders. I said "Hank...why did you pee in your pants?" Hank said "Mom....I was having sooooo much fun I peed 'em."
That's a whole lotta fun.

Sometimes it's hard being the only one without a penis

Sometimes it's super hard being the only one in my house without a penis. Not that I've EVER wished for one. But, living with all men I just don't fit in sometimes. But. But.....can it be true? Do I have a shopper in the family? A SHOPPER?

I just might.

See these shoes? Guess who picked them out. And...by picked them out I mean spotted them and screamed "Mom....you've GOT to get these! They are perfect for deer hunting! They have weapons on the back of them."

That shopper ladies and gentlemen would be the one, the only.....Brody Herbert.

Aren't they just fab!

Easter bunny

Yesterday the local movie theater had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. It was such a fun, family oriented community event. It was only $14 for my family to go. The price included a movie, popcorn, choice of pop/slushie/snowcone, cotton candy, games, face painting, egg hunt, and crafts. The people that own the movie theater are very generous and do a lot of nice events.

Isn't this pic just the cutest? Brad had to scream in the scary Dad voice and put Hank on a time out to get them to sit still for 3 seconds, but....well worth the emotional trauma to get such a cute pic.

Also, today is Palm Sunday. Can you even imagine how fun church was with the Kowboys and palms? Did you know what an awesome sword a palm can be? And a super awesome fishing pole when you are trying to "catch" the ladies hood in front of you? And, if you go to Sunday school and make the palms into a cross and you hold it upside down it becomes an awesome little knife.

At least they have good little imaginations. We'll go with that for today.

A barber I am not

O.k.......SO, I got this GENIUS idea to save myself $15. No, I didn't cut back on lattes. Let's be realistic people. I decided to cut Brody's hair. He said "I don't think this is a good idea Mom!" I assured him it was fine! I mean c'mon....I have a guard how hard could it be? I thought hmmm....kinda like peeling a carrot. Put the guard on and you can turn the clippers any which way and go to town! YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN'T.
It's o.k. to laugh. My family had a death threat that if they laughed at him they were going down. I had to shove my face in the pillow when he walked by. It's funny people. He looks like he got attacked by a puma for gosh sakes.

Thankfully he was quick to forgive me. I promised him from now on only a REAL barber. Not a Mom barber. And....my friend Jeff fixed his hair up good as new. Nice and short. He shouldn't need another cut until....say November. Sorry Brod's. Sorry.

The Lorax

Wanna know how I know Brad likes "large" women? Because he made these. Chocolate chip cheescake cupcakes. Oh my.......
We went to see "The Lorax." It was painful. Painful. I love the story....but the movie for some reason drove me nuts. The kids, who are usually are still as statues for 3D movies, even asked about 30 minutes into the movie if we could leave. I wish.....but since the movie cost about $834 for a family of four. Sorry. Even if we all die of boredom we're staying. Till the end. Help me.
Brody said he didn't like it because "he didn't care for the actors in it." Hank liked the Lorax's mustache.
