I got to have a snowball fight tonight - in the grocery store parking lot - with my son. He LOVED it! While I put the groceries in the car, I had him flick the newly fallen snow off the car with the scraper thing. He announced it wasn't good snow for snowballs......and that was too much for me. I thought it looked like perfect snowball snow. So............I made one and threw it at him and that was all it took.
All the snow had fallen while we were in the store. Ground was wet and there was no snow there - just on the car. It was GREAT gun!
Have you seen 'Meet the Fockers"? Remember the hat on the doorknob?

LC we used to have a sign like that on our old van years ago..lol actually I'm sure our oldest son was conceived in that van after a party ... lol when we were SOOOOO much younger & fitter haha <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Cinders bet that was FUN FUN FUN. I've only ever had ONE snowball fight that was years ago when Aussie took us all to the Victorian snow fields one winter - it was cold - Aussie HATED IT - but we had fun. But he did pretend for the rest of us <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Tell you what...if y'all buy the single-wide in a barn, I'll make you a custom-crafted sign that reads, "If the trailer's a'rockin', don't come knockin'!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> If the lean-to's fallin', don't come callin'! If the shed is shakin', something's bakin'! If the wind-break's quiverin', someone's shiverin'! If the walls are heavin', best be leavin'! And to think, I'm getting paid time-and-a-half to make these things up! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Somebody just put their call light on. Blast. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> t&l

You know, in my job, we would just like honesty from the people we deal with. How come the claimants and employers can't be honest? If people would be honest, we wouldn't have so much business.

Did you folks hear about what [censored] Cheney bagged while hunting this weekend? He shot another member of the quail hunting party. How do you mistake another hunter for a quail?

Lol, better not let any of us hunt with the children, either. Oops! I thought you were a [fill in the blank with any small game animal].

I just checked it out. It sounds like he was very careless. I don't hunt, and know not to shoot where there is a possibility of someone being in the way.
But being typical Texans' they say it happens all the time. YIKES! Let's not have the commune there.

They finally posted the extra pictures of the 5 br/2 ba house out in the middle of nowhere, about 50 miles from Blackwell. Nice Big House We are looking at it even more closely than at first, in case we decide to take foster kids or something, so it was nice to see that it is a pretty place. If this one doesn't work, maybe we can just put an addition on the 4-acre farmette (only $75,000!) Or just put a window in each of the grain silos. (I'm kidding.) (AJ isn't.) The farmette has such a nice windmill...so many choices!

Isn't it, though? I just love it! Neaksis and I gasped so loud when we saw it! The farmette has a cool barn and windmill, too, but the house looks like it's very small. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
The Princess was squeeing that all she wanted was to go to Montana, until I started showing her those pictures, and suddenly it became 'our house', lol. I had to remind her that we hadn't decided anything yet.

Some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot nine days old....
We like it cold, but maybe just maybe not quite that cold.

Hey, Neak--I want to show the farmette to someone and work and can't remember how to find it. Can you post the link for me? Well, I know you can. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Will you post the link for me, please? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'm off to hunt the elusive fetus. Mama is fluffy; baby is miniscule; and the MD wants continuous monitoring! Blech. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Jane says they'd use the silos (silettes? considering the size <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />) for their guest houses. That would certainly cut down on visitors! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
