Thesaurus Thursday

aahhh, it's Thursday again.

Subvet took the boys to school and he's not back yet. Baby girl's asleep..the house is MINE ALL MINE!!!

I wanted to share a funny story from last weekend.

OK, you know we're having neckedness issues with Gator-boy. Real life clothing malfunctions! Well so far they have been curbed by wearing zipper jammies backwards during nap and bed times. He has 3 sets of these jammies, 2 are 4T and 1 is 5T because I just used what I already had from Sonshine's old clothes.

Well, this weekend he was in the 5T set. I get him up from bed one morning, jammies are on, all is well. I get his breakfast then we go in the bathroom for their baths.

I unzip the jammies and see


A BARE BOY BUTT!

I guess the 5Ts were baggy enough for this Houdinni child of mine to reach up and get that dad-gum diaper off through the legs.

Obviously those jammies hit the trash can quickly.

This child never ceases to amaze me, and I don't think that will end any time soon!

OK, words are

madtom

poil

I can't wait to see what funny definitions you come up with for those!!

stilll sick....

But I'll leave you with a couple of things I stole in the hopes that they'd improve my marriage!

miss me???

I've been sick!

Sorry about the delay, just in case there's someone out there who didn't grab their own dictionary and look up the words from Thursday they are:

passe-partout, this is a noun and it's origin is French. I'll try to give a pronounciation..../pas'par too'/ The second accent mark is stronger and there are 2 dots over the a and a line over the 2 oos.....does that help?

1. something that passes or provides passage everywhere, as a master key. 2. an ornamental mat for a picture 3. a method of framing in which a piece of glass is placed over a pictue and is affixed to a backing by means of adhesive strips of paper pasted over the edges. 4. paper prepared for this purpose.



porrect this is an adjective, Latin in origin /pe rekt'/ the first e is the schwa e (upside down)

extending horizontally; projecting.




I got this in an email an found it hilarious!

Diane worked on the bad words for me but couldn't get one of them to change.
Thanks Diane!!






Now, where's that dang duck?

Show and Tell

Kelli is hosting show and tell Friday again

So, here's mine.




You know those commercials about "keep the change banking"??? Well, I've been doing just that ever since my mother first gave me $2 to take to school to buy the $1.80 hot lunch. (ut-oh, I just dated myself huh?)

Here's my deal....I HATE to pay with exact change! Don't ask why, I just do.

So I always have a bunch of change hanging around. I have always ear-marked this change for some purpose. When I was young it was to buy a Walk-man tape player WITH auto reverse! (YIKES, did it again!!), Then it was whatever thing I wanted but didn't quite have the money for.

Nowadays we have the mason jar you see above on our kitchen counter-top. All our spare change goes in it. We'll dip into it occasionally for drinks and treats, but this is what we've accumulated over the past 2 months. When the jar is full (umm I'm past due here) I will roll all the change and deposit it in a special savings account I keep for the kids' schooling. We average about $30 a month in spare change.

Now, I always play a game. I guess how much money is in the jar before I begin. My guess today was about $60.


Let's get started!


TA-DA!!






I got $65 in rolled change, plus there is still quite a bit that wasn't enough to roll. Monday I will be off to the bank :-). One thing about rolled coins. They don't allow them in the drive-through. Something about not having enough vacuum to pull the heavy coins....I keep telling them to just hook my checking account up to the tube and the vacuum in it is guaranteed to pull all the money out of that tube...but no one will try it.

Here's an odd thing I found in my jar today.



This quarter has a hole in it. I don't know how or why someone would poke a hole in a perfectly good quarter...but here it is!

And folks, don't ever buy the rolling papers. Any and all banks will give them to you for free. (even through the drive-through)

Thesaurus Thursday

Yes, it's Thursday again.

And, believe it or not, my house is QUIET!!

AAahhhh, the joys of preschool.


So, before we get on to our words today I need your input. Or my kids strange or what? Dropping off the boys this morning I saw two different sets of parents trying to pry their screaming/clinging kid off of them. One poor Dad couldn't hardly get his kid in the front doors for the writhing and thrashing.

Subvet and I looked at each other and said wow, that's different!

Our kids barely stopped to hug us goodbye, they were much more interested in all the TOYS!

I do remember last year when taking Sonshine to school those first two weeks. He did throw a huge fit.....

when it was time to go HOME! I literally dragged him from the school screaming and kicking.....

he threw an equally big fit the next morning when I wouldn't take him back!
That was when I started the pictoral calendar I showed y'all last week.

Anyway, On to our words for the week.

passe-partout, this is a noun and it's origin is French. I'll try to give a pronounciation..../pas'par too'/ The second accent mark is stronger and there are 2 dots over the a and a line over the 2 oos.....does that help?

porrect this is an adjective, Latin in origin /pe rekt'/ the first e is the schwa e (upside down)

have fun making up silly definitions and I'll put up the real ones on Saturday as usual.
