I Know You've all Heard of Sleep Walking...

but have you ever heard of sleep eating?

That's English...

1. James, while John had had "had", had had "had had", "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

2. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

3. That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is.

Do you understand what it is these sentences are saying? If you don't, stay up really late, eat a pound of gummy worms and you may be able to understand them, even if only for a brief moment. Lucky for you, I hit both those criteria tonight...so I'll do my best at translating for you.

1. "While John had used 'had,' James had used 'had had.' The teacher had preferred 'had had'.

2. Bison from Buffalo, New York, who are intimidated by other bison in their community also happen to intimidate other bison in their community. *Note, to intimidate is "to buffalo".

3. Easy to understand with just some added punctuation. "That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is that it? It is.

It's amazing the clarity that gummy worms can bring.

Why I Suck: Part II

This was definitely one of my most favorite posts of all time. So I'm resurrecting it because I know you all want to know why we suck this year.

Well, let me tell you...

Ashlyn sucks because she has worn this dress every day since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. This picture was taken before the peanut butter got smashed in it, but after you could smell the milk that got spilled down the front of it.

Austin sucks because he doesn't nap anymore, and when he does nap (even for just 5 minutes) this is how wide awake he is at 11:00 at night. (Although at least he finally learned how to walk!)

I suck because now I have slippers to go with my bathrobe and I see no reason to ever get dressed again. Like ever again.

Rusty sucks because this is his laptop. Which is really a conglomerate of all laptops we've ever owned since 1992 (which is appropriate considering that he plays Commodore 64 on it). Notice how that screen is much too big for his laptop? Yeah, it sucks.

I bet you've never seen behind a laptop screen, huh? Or risk electrocution every time you sit down to get online?

Well, that's because you don't suck.

Now for real this time, tell me why you suck.

Confession Time: Glee Edition

I'm not even a little bit attracted to women, and yet I have the biggest crush on Sue Sylvester.

P.S.

It's a good thing we're moving, because I'm pretty sure that I'm taking the discussions from the Jehovah Witnesses.

Lucky Number 28!

The best part of having a four-year-old is that I get to borrow her birthday crown for my birthday.

I'm going to wear it all day.

Austin *with Update

How do you tell your two-year-old son that you can't paint his fingernails blue like his older sister's?

*Update - How do you explain to your husband that you painted his son's fingernails??

Moving Again

And I actually have to do all the work this time! We're just moving across town to a much bigger, less expensive house. I'm so excited for all the extra room we're going to have. We'll be moving in right after Christmas and our new ward will start meeting at 11:00 just like our current ward...coincidence? Nope. I bet next year we'll be moving again back into the 11:00 ward.

What better way to spend our 7th anniversary then by moving for the 13th time?
