We found this video on youtube, and Mason just can't get enough of it! I've never seen him laugh so hard! And I have to admit, I laugh just as hard! This kid is adorable! Enjoy!

BROKEN!
So I was reading on a couple of my cousin's blogs how things seem to be breaking down in their households in groups.... To that I add... THANKS ALOT- YOU JINXED ME!! :D HA! HA!
Last weekend our Dryer kicked the bucket AND then our vacuum followed suit deciding that it had had a full and productive life! 'Course... I can't be too angry! I too would putter out after drying FIVE loads of Laundry!! And I DID do a MASSIVE clean down of my house... (I'm talking TOP TO BOTTOM- You could EAT off the baseboards!!!)
Ben OF COURSE being Mr. Fix-it, tried to revive them both. I walked into the family room and found Ben trying to do "CPR" on the Vacuum, it's "guts" and bolts strewn all over. He then immediately grabbed my hand, his voice softenned, "I'm sorry Mrs. Taylor!.... I've done all that I can... I don't think it felt any pain..." WHAT A CLOWN! Although, HONESTLY, I am kind of excited at the opportunity now to buy NEW appliances! HEE! HEE! HEE! I guess that's why I haven't been too depressed.
But in the meantime, This is what our house has looked like this past week waiting till we've had the time to go get a dryer...Just watch though- next we'll have to replace all our curtain rods! CRAP! I JUST JINXED MYSELF!!!!! :D

....Another Question???
I guess because it's my day off today that I have the time to think of these things...
Am I the only one who gets kinda panicked when you have to verify the word after you've typed a comment on someone's blog????
It's like it transports me back to grade school when you had to get your eyes checked by reading "the 4th line down" or those tests to see if you were color blind... You know?- the ones with the hidden letter that is a different color. I feel the pressure all over again that ONE WRONG LETTER and BAM!- "You have to wear glasses for the rest of your life!" Or BAM!- "No driver's license for you!"....
And don't get me started on the hearing tests I remember taking! :D I'll never forget the PARALYZING FEAR of hearing that HIGH PITCHED BEEP and raising my hand as fast as I could so the nurse KNEW I was not deaf! I remember thinking that I had heard the beep, but all it was was the residual ringing that continued after the ACTUAL beep!... Man- Being a kid was pretty stressful!
I laugh at the thought of the little man in the computer that's keeping track of all the word verifications, then when I go to renew my license or something, the person behind the counter will say " Sorry Mrs. Taylor! I show that you messed up on the word verification on the Tait's blog, the Perriton's blog AND the Tingley's blog all in one day! We are revoking your license due to the idiot factor that you so strongly posses!" :D
Anyway- this thought always crosses my mind!....I was just wondering if I'm the ONLY freak out there or if there are others! BUT- Don't worry! This won't stop me from leaving as many comments as I can!! HA! HA! HA! :D

.....Question?!
So I was driving home from work the other day- I was sitting at the LONG light at Franklin and I couldn't help but notice the electronic sign at the local HOOTERS....
"Come in for our expanded KIDS MENU!"...
WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD TAKE THEIR KIDS TO HOOTERS!!!! Ewwww!

The Fort that LOVE BUILT!
About 5 weeks ago, Ben and I came to an agreeance that wooden play sets are FAR TOO OVERPRICED!!! We felt that we could easily build something equally nice for half the price of what the stores were charging for a kit. When did I become SOO frugal?... I don't know! But, that's beside the point... We did some internet surfing and printed off a picture of a swing set that was about what we wanted. (Fun and simple was ALL we were really going for! Some of these kits are OVER THE TOP UNNECESSARY!)
So with a picture and a FEW (and I mean FEW!) measurements, we got to it! We figured that this project would easily just take a Saturday and maybe a few trips to Home Depot to complete. Boy, were we wrong! But, I have to say- We had SO much fun putting this together and figuring it all out! I think that Ben and I BOTH surprised each other on our knowledge of building. (Don't let the pictures fool you, we were 50/50 on building this puppy!) And about 3 quarters of the way through it, we did wonder if this really was for Mason or for the two of US! :D All in all, we reached our goal to build a less expensive, yet equally beautiful play set and as a BONUS... We got all kinds of GREAT MEMORIES to go with it! PENNY PINCHING WINS AGAIN!!!! :D
