where did he get all that creativity?

Have I ever mentioned how quirky my brother Scott is? Well he's also quite creative. I think he must get that from me!

He and his wife, Erika have been working on a music video/parody of Halo, the video game. Bri and Allison even have a short part in it playing 10 year old boys. See if you can find them. Scott and Erika wisely decided it could seem slightly inappropriate to invite a couple of boys from their neighborhood to come to their basement to shoot videos. Good decision, guys!!

The video has a couple of expletives, so if you watch, make sure your young children are out of the room.

i’ve fallen and i can’t get up

You know all the videos you see on AFV where someone falls and it’s hilarious to watch? If only we’d had our video camera set up the other night.

My mom and I were sitting on my porch swing, chatting away. And the next thing I know, she’s on the ground and I’m practically on top of her. The porch swing fell. The hook pulled out of the ceiling and smacked my mom on the head. It would’ve made a very funny video.

The swing is now sitting on the porch, waiting for hubby to figure out how to hang it back up. I’m sure he’ll get right on that. Right after he takes care of the shudder that has been sitting on the porch for 3 years, waiting to be hung across the window from its mate. Yes, I’m certain hubby will get right on that.

But in the mean time, it was just too sad for me to see the picture of Delaney on the swing that is no more. Hence the new header.

game night

Last night was the season opener for high school football. And Delaney was all set to support the team!!!

Brianna is in the marching band and Allison is on the dance team. So while Gaga stayed home with Nate, the rest of us headed down the street to the game.

It was a good game, even if we didn’t win.

 

 

 

It was a beautiful night to be outside and Delaney was a super fan. Lucky for us, twin 2 was at the game and more than willing to keep Delaney occupied.

And today, every time we drove by the high school, Delaney wanted to go to the game!

who’s your daddy?

Delaney is just a tiny bit confused. Her big sisters call her daddy by his first name. Her mama calls her daddy by his first name. So about fifty percent of the time, Delaney calls her daddy by his first name. It sounds something like “Neramy.”

This weekend her cousin Hayden was visiting. And he calls his daddy, “daddy.” And so Delaney did too. She would walk up to her Uncle Jason and call him “Dad” or “Daddy” and then call her own daddy, “Neramy.” Yes, the poor girl is confused.

And her poor daddy. All he wants is a child to call him “Dad.” But he has two step-daughters who call him Jeremy. And a son who can’t talk. And now a daughter who calls him “Neramy.” Hopefully Delaney will get this crazy family tree figured out. And Neramy is just going to have to be patient until then.

got mold?

Ever cleaned out the fridge and found a disgusting container of leftovers, riddled with mold? I typically just throw those things out, container and all. Or how about the damp corner of your basement? What’s growing in there?

Well now, thanks to my youngest brother, Scott, there’s a website where you can take a picture of your mold and post it for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Moldy Buns is a site dedicated to mold. I never knew Scott had such an interest in mold. But maybe this explains some of his quirky eating habits!

Don’t let that good mold go to waste! Go find your mold. And go check out other people’s mold.
