Archive for the ‘Fun With Kids’ CategoryMe, yep and here’s why. From his page you can see my cats too, all of whom are blogging and making friends like crazy. Did you know there was a social network for cats and dogs? Me either until yesterday. I happen to think this is an excellent site for kids, as all things must be okay for the eyes and ears of 7 years old and up. Kids could certainly have a blast stepping into their pets minds and blogging for them, stumbling the other pups and cats and just generally feel all fuzzy and good after a visit. If you do visit us, please leave Dexter a bone. :)
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something “Why?” my daughter asked. “Because it’s been on the ground, you don’t know where it’s been, it’s At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and “Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.” I was thinking quickly. “All moms know this stuff. It’s on the Mom Test. You have to know it, We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently “OH…I get it!” she beamed, “So if you don’t pass the test you have to ”Exactly,” I replied back with a big smile on my face.
I suppose she would disagree with me, but this reminds me so much of MamaSlaa when we first adopted her at the tender age of 18.

I was admiring the absolute and utter brilliance that is a child’s comprehension of typical conversation today. My mind took me straight back to Target. Why is it that kids brainstorm so much in busy department stores? Ok…here is the story of twatbones and Target. When I was about 5 months pregnant with my second son, my pelvic bones started to separate as they would in preparation for birth. It started with only a slight movement. As the baby grew and gained weight, the bones slipped further and further apart. The farther apart the bones got, the more pain I felt. I could lay down, but it was impossible to get back up on my own. I couldn’t sit in the same place for very long. And walking, pffffftttttt! At 9 months, I really didn’t feel well enough to venture out much. So, on a rainy day, my mother-in-law, my son, and I load up and go to Target to get a few last minute things for the baby. We are walking around looking at stuff, my mother-in-law telling me that the more I walked the faster the baby would come. We are walking around, and I am having contractions. I have to stop every few minutes and lean on the cart to relax those pelvic bones that hurt so bad. We were standing in the shoe department, and my son dropped some slippers on the ground. “Ah, damn!” I thought. “Now, not only do I have to walk through this hot, stuffy department store, but now…NOW, I have to bend all the way over to pick up some freakin’ Scooby Doo slippers!” I moaned as I was standing back up, and my 2 year old says, “What’s a matter mom? Does your twatbone hurt?” WTF?!? Who the hell says twatbone? I bet he didn’t learn that from Dora the Explorer.
I wanted to list a few resources I use here at home with my kids. I really feel the kids understanding how to read or hear news and So here’s a list of places I visit with the kids to help them.
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him ‘How do you expect to get into Heaven?’ The boy thought it over and said, ‘Well, I’ll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, ‘For Heaven’s sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!” When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, ‘Mommy, you are getting fat!’ I replied, ‘Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy.’ ‘I know,’ she replied, but what’s growing in your butt?’ One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ‘….. and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, ‘The sky is falling, the sky is falling!’ The teacher paused then asked the class, ‘And what do you think that farmer said?’ One little girl raised her hand and said, ‘I think he said; ‘Holy Shit! A talking chicken!” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes. A little girl asked her mother, ‘Can I go outside and play with the boys?’ Her mother replied, ‘No,you can’t play with the boys, they’re too rough.’ The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, ‘If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?’ And my favorite: A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair eating a snack cake while her dad gets his hair cut. The barber says to her, ‘Sweetheart, you’re gonna get hair on your Twinkie.’ She says, ‘Yes, I know, and I’m gonna get boobs too.’
Just use your favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipe! I did my daughter’s in our family pumpkin pie recipe and my son’s is an apple butter pumpkin pie new this year. Cute, and the kids love it!! You can use your own crust, or the roll out fridge kind. Just trace your little one’s hands on cardboard or card stock, then cut it out, and use it to cut out a dough print, add some little gobbler legs, and bake that sucker at 350* for about 8 to 10 minutes or so. Brush some water on them, and sprinkle some sugar, or whatever you’d like!
