Random Bullet Points Post 2

  • We are tired, although we don't like to admit it ;)
  • We miss Abigail Taylor
  • The Scots call potatoes "tatties" and all I could think of when I read that was Tatty-Coram from Little Dorrit
  • We watched The Minnesota Cuke tonight....yep. After the little kids were in bed.
  • Sherbet ice cream can taste a little like a cardboard box
  • There are two philosophies to what it means when smoke of a campfire is going toward a person- one flattering, the other....not so much
  • We had a Tangled party without watching Tangled ;)
  • Colonial Williamsburg looked really funny before they restored it(some of the historic buildings had been turned into junky 50's gas stations! :P)
  • One of George Washington's Rules of Civility was: "Do not roll back thine eyes in thine head while taking a drink."
  • Rachel needs to hurry up and get her license
  • AHHH!!!! Only 4 more choir practices before our recital!!!!!! :O
  • We enjoy going on Pity Missions to help the blind and hearing aids. ;)
  • We have a little sister with insomnia right now. :P
  • It's rather difficult to say "three-toed tree-toad" more than once or twice
  • And on that note, Dr. Suess' Fox in Socks is an extremely hard book to read aloud
  • It would be nice to have a working sewing machine
  • The song that keeps coming up from various topics is "Hello, Young Lovers" from "The King and I"
  • Sarah's new volleyball nickname is "Pluffy".
  • You have never seen a volleyball serve until you have been the victim of the right-handed Rachel's left-handed "Gullywhomper".
  • Reading certain snippets from the end of "Anne of Avonlea" is very appropriate for Rachel today. ;)
  • If you have ever meant to "not eat dessert" one day but do despite your Good Intentions, you are what Gracie calls a "Sugar-Bum" :D

    And yes, we do indeed call our pototoes 'tatties' (though not all the time!), and we planted ours last Saturday! x

  4. Hmmm.....quotes from the end of Anne of Avonlea??? I'm curious - only because I know the end backwards and forwards and quote it to myself (yes, sentimental, I know :P) Hehe :D

    And I will be very carefully not to roll mine eyes into mine head next time I take a drink *wink* Thanks for sharing the advice :)

    Agreed about Fox in Socks!!!! That book is nearly impossible to read aloud!
