American Homemaker

I've been having a blast with my other blog. I love posting recipes and fun ideas. I get hooked on adding things to it and don't get my other stuff done...lol. Obviously my kids are gone for the week or I wouldn't have near as much time to play.

How do you rate as a 1930's wife?

So... Ken and I took these quizzes and as a 1930's wife I am very superior... Sweet! Ken is very superior as a 1930's husband. Which I figure means I am a very kind, submissive homemaker and he is a I'm the man of the house, do what I say type.... lol, it cracks me up. Must be why we are a perfect couple. Try it out and see how you rate :)

Caleb's Birthday Party

I told Caleb he should eat his cake without a fork after he blew out the candle, and he did...lol

We had a baseball theme. The boys (and Alyssa) all had a blast.

This is the sunflower seed spitting contest.

This picture cracked me up with the baseball sign and the hole through the window. Alyssa actually broke the window a couple of weeks ago with a rock. (Thank goodness it was already cracked.) It does seem to match with the baseball theme, doesn't it?

funny kids

Kids are so funny. They always say and do the oddest things, so I thought I'd share something funny each of the kids did in the last day or so.

Alyssa:
Alyssa fell asleep on the way home from my mom's house tonight. I lugged her into the house, about breaking my arms and my back because I had a really long day at work today and am really worn out. I laid her down on the couch, and she smiled a huge smile. The little brat had been faking. She thought she was hilarious.

Nina:
I have an old rotary phone that hangs on my bedroom wall. It's probably been there since the 70s or so since it's ugly green. Nina picked it up yesterday and asked me how people dialed on it. I showed her how you dial a number and wait for the dial to spin back around so you can dial the next number. She responded with "WOW, that's boring!". What a silly girl.

Caleb:
I dramatically tossed myself on my bed yesterday after cleaning my room and said, "I'm dying". Caleb responded with, "You haven't even been shot yet." He cracks me up.

Covey Center Idol

Today Alyssa and Caleb karaoked and learned hip-hop moves at Covey Center Idol. They had a lot of fun. Alyssa sang Suspicious Minds by Elvis and Caleb sang My Country Tis of Thee. We had a great hip-hop teacher. There weren't many people there, but it was fun.
