Mommy! That Watermelon BIT me!

So, um yeah,this weekend we got alot done, put up the new flag bright and crisp. We had our van repaired, installed the AC, set up grants room for summer, and oh yeah, I put in a new screen door by myself!. Well, i replaced the screen on my sliding patio doors :) Somehow though, i could not handle the fruit salad. :P I had a Grandiose plan to make a cute pinked edged watermelon fruit basket and fill it with a lovely salad. I was two minutes into my project, slicing a bit off the bottom to level it, and i kept thinking, I'm gonna loose this other hand if i don;t move.......DOH! OWIEEEEEEEEEEEEE ....... yuh i stabbed my thumb with the gigantic carving knife :( not a long cut but DEEP, hit the bone, I nearly puked, fainted, went spazzy, then broke into a cold sweat.

LOL NOW i get it! so, we wrapped it up, i chopped at fruit with one hand, Mikey carved the watermelon, very well i might add ... an...

Never Forget Their Sacrifice

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11 , and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war).

"This is for the Birds!"

Okay, i know its a terrible Pun, but Alas, I am stricken with the most demented birds imaginable. My son ... is afraid to go outside because of "The bug's!"but I'm starting to think we should avoid the outdoors due to the Birds! All week long, every time the van is in the driveway, a bird sits on the rear veiw mirrors, and attacks the windows. ALL DAY LONG Saturday and Sunday. Now i have Beak marks and birdie doo doo on my lovely van. :P This morning, there is a bird trying to get in my house ...... every few minutes it attacks my dining room window ... then the back door window, around the house, looking for the van, then back to my window ...... so you see where i may start to get concerned . :P "The Birds" as told by the little people of Grant's room. :) go HERE to see the whole thing :)
