Miscellaneous Monday

It feels like my whole life is one big Miscellaneous Monday post!


I don't remember what song was playing, but these two cracked me up by unexpectedly breaking into some coordinated dance moves! It was so funny!! I had time to grab the camera and catch this shot of them on the tail end of one of the moves. This is not usual behavior so it was highly amusing.  


One Sunday afternoon as I was rushing to get out the door to church, I grabbed my purse so I could get my house keys out of the back pocket. Usually I just dig around blindly to find my keys, lip gloss, or gum but this time I took my purse off the bar stool where it was hanging and set it on the table. I looked down and saw this very ample spider web!! Ew! The thing is that I had used my purse just the night before, so this was a very new web! I was totally flummoxed by this discovery and chose to leave the purse there and go to church without my house keys...needless to say I had a hard time focusing for the first few minutes of church! Fast forward like 5 hours later when I showed Randy the web and implored him to investigate when sure enough he said, "oh there he his!" and proceeded to retrieve and kill the offending spider! D-I-S-C-O-N-C-E-R-T-I-N-G!!!


Here is one of Whitney's latest Barbie creations based on ideas she has seen online.


My mom and I spent a sweaty couple of hours being roasted alive at Landon's football game last Thursday. It was in the 90's that day plus we were sitting on metal bleachers in direct sun. It was NOT pretty! We used her blanket to cover our very pale white legs and then huddled under an umbrella. It was a labor of love for sure.


But he's so cute we just had to be there!


Whitney showed her support by drawing on her hand, but pretty much complained the whole time we were at the game. She ended up finding a tree to sit under, but since she has no interest in football it really wasn't the best idea for her to come with us (I gave her a choice, but I think she hoped we'd get food on the way home...we didn't).


Bella spent the night with us Friday night and the girls wanted to  go see the One Direction Movie on Saturday. We agreed to this in exchange for some weeding (very generous offer on our parts) and Bella happily agreed (even though she'd already seen the movie!), Whitney balked and complained and pushed Randy and I to the very edge of our sanity (this has been happening a lot lately). Needless to say we won't be making any arrangements like this again!
 

Lori turned 37 this weekend but still looks like she could be my love child from a high school romance!


Landon has officially passed her in height!

Life does seem like a slew of miscellany lately. I enjoy your misc. and etc. very much.

That was one webby spider. Are you sure he didn't spin you a message in it with all of that silk? He could have you know ;0)

Elf on the Shelf looks like it was created just for Whitney. She could find a thousand things for him to do.

Did Landon win or lose? What is his position?

You earned some serious mom points for sitting in that heat for sure. Griffin is doing cross country again but I love the schedule - he runs his mile and then we leave! That's my kind of sport.
