Time to get back on the computer and visit my friends.
for me.
Here's wishing for a wonderful weekend for you and yours too!
I've decided that audioblogging is more fun when I let the kids talk and sing. If you feel like a bit of amusement, click the above icon. Look for this icon in the future when I have new funny things to share from the mouths of babes!

I thought Mr. Will's hair was so cute after he got out of the bath the other night. He kind of had the Gerber baby hairdo going on for him!
Speaking of funny things that kids say...a couple of mornings ago I was woke up by Jared who was requesting his breakfast. I glanced at the clock and was surprised to see that it was 4:30 a.m.! I instructed him to go back to bed immediately. I had dozed off downstairs that night watching tv, so it was still on. Later that morning, around 8 a.m., Jared woke me up again and handed me a piece of paper. Scrawled onto that piece of paper was a toll free 800 number! This is how the conversation went:
ME: What is this?
JARED: I wrote this number down, mommy, so you could buy one of those things like the swiffer only better.
ME: HUH?
JARED: Yeah, when I got up earlier I watched TV and they had a program on about this thing that makes smoke and cleans your floors better than a swiffer!
ME: Ummmm...ok. You watched an infomercial?
JARED: Yeah! And I thought you would want one of them so I wrote down the telephone number so you could call and order one!
ME: Ok....ummm...thanks. (Thinking and recalling an infomercial about the Shark Steam Blaster I saw the night before).
JARED: Mommy, it was really neat! You can use it to clean sinks, oven doors, microwave ovens, grills, floors, just everything!
ME: Wow, you really paid attention to what they were saying! And you watched this at 4:30 a.m.?
JARED: Yeah! And it kills germs and disinfects hard surfaces!
ME: (rather shocked at how accurate his sales pitch was) Are you talking about the Shark Power Steam Blaster?
JARED: Yeah! That's it! It was really cheap too, only $33.95!
ME: What a deal.
JARED: It had been $100, but they put an X through that and then said it had been $50 and put an X through that and then made it only $33.95!
ME: Oh my gosh!
JARED: So are you going to call this number, mommy, and get one? They take credit cards.
ME: I'll have to talk to Daddy later. They take credit cards, huh?
JARED: Yeah! I was going to call it, but they said that you have to be over 18 to call.
ME: (thinking OH MY GOSH! This kid could have ordered a steam blaster! SCARY!) Wow, son, ok I will talk to Daddy about it.
Can you believe that? Who would think that a 6 year old would be so impressed with an infomercial about a steam cleaner? I was shocked!
I was happy to see that WV's Governor Joe Manchin (who is a DEMOCRAT) is upholding his beliefs that abortion is wrong. He is being criticized by those in his own party because he spoke at a WV Right to Life fundraiser. This surprises anyone how? He clearly stated his position on abortion before the elections and has been a proud member of WV Right to Life for nearly 20 years! Also, where does Jay Rockefeller get off putting a negative light on the Governor's involvement on the Medicaid Panel? I would think that he would be proud and pleased that WV gets a voice in these decisions. It is becoming more and more obvious that the biggest difference between the two parties is, essentially, abortion. That is why I vote primarily around this single issue and cannot possibly qualify myself as a democrat any longer. I am proud to say I voted for Joe Manchin and I will vote for him again in the next election.
Things around here have been blase. The weather has made a dramatic change to cold, rainy, and dark. The kids are suffering from cabin fever in a big way and miss playing outdoors. I have to say that I miss them playing outdoors, as well! I hope the rain doesn't knock all of our beautiful leaves off of the trees before I get some photographs of the children in our gorgeous autumn surroundings.
Well, Will and Klara will be up soon so I need to get busy. I hope that everyone has a great day!
I love the audio!!! Your children sound so cute.
Jami, yes I get the feeling that many people don't want to state their views on abortion one way or the other. Many who believe that it is right, obviously, don't want it known. But you would be surprised how many pro-life people don't have the nerve to stand up and say they don't believe in it. They want votes a lot of times and neither of them want to alienate the opposite side. Sad. Hi Leticia! It's good to see you here. Yeah, Jared cracked me up with the Shark commercial, lol! You all have a great weekend!
