All Aboard the Crazy Train!!!

It's your lucky day.  Why you ask?  Because you're in for a collection of pictures that have been sitting in the Howard Vault. Or more commonly known as "my phone". 

TOOT!! TOOT!! The Crazy Train is boarding!  So quit pretending you have "more important things" to do.  We all know you don't have anything going on.    



"I gots a beaver in my diaper. I takin' him for a ride." ~Bryn

Yes. Yes, Bryn, you do.  And I'm leaving this one alone.  You can insert your own "beaver" joke here. 





Here's the set up on this gem....

I am a mom.  I don't know the meaning of "sleeping like a rock."  I can hear a mouse fart at 3 in the morning.  So, when I wake up to start my day at 5:15AM, and the previous night was uneventful, I ASSUME things are all good in the Howard house.

Alarm goes off.  It's sorta light out.  Sorta dark.  I crawl outta bed.  Feet hit the carpet.  I sleepily shuffle around the bed to walk out the door to head downstairs.  When all of a sudden,  my feet hit this "object".

HOLY HELL!!!!!!  I can't tell you what my body looked like, but if I had to guess, I'd say Chuck Norris would be jealous of the moves I did.  Seriously...how the hell she crawled outta her bed, opened her door, and walked into my room without me waking up, is beyond me.  Apparently, SHE is quieter than a mouse fart.






"I hidin', Mommy!!" ~ Bryn

Nope.  Couldn't find her.  The blanket did me in.  I can't imagine how hard it would be to find her if that blanket was made outta camo.







I am guessing this has to be one of the "Top 5 Reasons" to get an Irrigation System.  Our yard looks wonderful.  Not to mention the money we are now saving on baby wipes and toilet paper.  I like things that are multi-functional. 

Here's something that will really get everyone talkin'!  A VIDEO!!  Yes.  A video.  I figured out how to get a video onto this blog.  That in itself deserves a medal. But, most importantly, I think we should all just sit back and applaud me for capturing this.  Yes, I had to lie to get it.  And yes, that lie was to my kid.  Get over it.  I said an exta Hail Mary that night.  The Lord and I are cool. 

"I'm sorta too tired for supper." ~Brenen

You're SORTA tired?!? That's mildly stating it.  What do I do when he says he's "exhausted"?!  And here's a thought, why am I spending money on beds, or pillows, or blankets for these kids?!  They obviously are able to sleep anywhere.  And in any position.  I'm just getting these kids slabs of concrete to sleep on.  I guess I could upgrade to a high quality granite to give more of a "luxury" feel.

Why Our Walks Take FOREVER

"Let's go for a walk, Bryn!!"

Walk, walk, walk, walk.

SCREECHING HALT.

"STOP!!!  My baby pooped."

Who needs a Koala Kare Changing table, when the pavement works WAY better.  I feel for this doll...sorry "baby",  who literally must know what it's like to have "ants in your pants".  And, apparently this "baby" has the shits...cuz we stopped 62 times in like two tenths of a mile. 

First Day as a "Blogger"

Whoa. Look at me.  A writer...ok a "blogger".  This idea was given to me by numerous people, who apparently find my family pretty funny.  The amount of texts, inbox messages, emails, comments, and "likes" on my Facebook page seems to have people "beggin' for more"! Since I aim to please, here it is...a blog dedicated to mostly my kids and all the crazy stuff they do and say for your entertainment!

 I have to say this....these are DAILY occurrences  at our house, and each person seems to each have their own sense of humor.  And there isn't a day that goes by, that we aren't laughing at something somebody says or does.

I also want to just be serious for a moment (yes..I am totally wingin' the "how to be serious for a moment" gig) and say this....Our family's humor isn't meant to hurt or offend anyone.  And it may not always be funny to everyone.  However, remember, this is America, you have CHOSEN to follow this blog....you can UN-chose it if you find your panties are getting in a knot. 

And because some of you have asked: Yes, I do carry my iPhone EVERYWHERE...without it, I wouldn't be able to capture what I capture. 

So...here we go.  Grab a drink.  Sit back.  Buckle in. And join me in what I call "my life"...but you will call, "Keepin' Up with the Howard's"!!  :)
