Team Focker Watch, Part 12. Have we jumped the shark yet?

[Disneyland_Mama]

I found four more. Yucko. I hope that's it, though. Most of them were tiny - is it weird that I feel guilt, even though I don't want them? I have the door open downstairs to try to get some fresh air in, but likely it will just mean more mice. Thankfully, I have never, ever, seen one upstairs - they apparently stick to the basement. Not great, but better than the kitchen.

Did you find those 4 more dead or alive? Did you kill them or set them free? I'm sorry, but I'm interested in what you do to them. The grossest thing we've ever had in our house was a lizard... and I flipped out when it decided to sit on the couch with me.

Hello!


I think I've seen that. Sorry but I think it is disgusting. I believe that the pageants shouldn't encourage the 'fake' beauty in the very young girls.(Pre-tween) IMO, children are more beautiful without all the gook. And I want to see there honest abilities. Not the routines that are made up by someone else. I feel so sorry for some of the contestants who are pushed into doing it too. Sorry it just bugs me. I know you couldn't tell. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I guess we're in the same boat on this one. I hate how they put those fake teeth thingys on and spray tan and all that fake hair. It's disturbingly disgusting.

Albondiga? Is that Spanish for bologna tacos?
Sorry about the shot drama. Yeah, I would like to have a pajama day tomorrow......ain't happenin'.

It's Mexican meatball soup. It's soooo good and really easy to make. Google it sometime you have extra hamburger around. You'll love it!

Sssshhhh Don'tellanyone I'm playing Hookie from work!!

WOW, my house is empty! Andy's working, my parents took the kids to my niece's soccer game, so it's piece and quiet for a few hours. I don't know what to do with myself. My hands hurt from playing LEGO rock band on my DSi all morning.

We're putting our kitchen back together as well after the paint job. I need to take some pics and show y'all. It's not all the way done since we need to put up the back splash but I'm really liking the color.

Can't wait to see it!

Janet wow you're a cleaning machine!!!

I;m gonna start hiring myself out

Em and Dad are here and we've had a lovely walk, Em and I also went to the supermarket where she has stocked up on so much stuff, mainly toddler foods as she says all of yours have tons of sugar in. She bought some fruit purees which apparently in the US also have sugar in She also bought things like gravy and cheese sauce granules oh and a jar of indian cook in sauce

WOw, shes racking up the frequent flier miles!

Yep, saw it on 60 Minutes. It's similar to the flu strains from before 1950, (including the big 1918 one) so the older people, who are usually so at risk, have some immunity.

My grandmother lost 10 of her brothers and sisters in 1918!

Sounds like a productive day, if not exactly fun.

Very productive!

So, we have had a nice morning, if not a productive one.

SOunds nice!

I found a dead mouse right in front of my washing machine on Wed. and D says he found one last week, too. We have the sticky traps, but the bad thing is that I don't know everywhere that the Terminix guy put them, so I may have to search and see if that's the issue. And I don't know why the mouse was dead in front of the machine, as he wasn't in a trap. Ugh.

Once I poke around some, I think I'm going to have a nap. ; )

I'd be freaking!

Well aren't you just Miss Productive today?

So I headed over to the Flu Clinic and the wait time was 3 HOURS!!! Forget it. I can't deal with that, I'll just keep calling my ped.

Tomorrow DLR is taping their parts for the Disney Christmas Parade, so we might head over to that and try to get our mugs in the shots.

ooh fun. Take pics Who's going to be there?

You have done well with your Saturday. When does the fun start?
Yep you might have missed that part on my brother. He is getting married on the 21st of this month. 6 months since the divorce. Cool, huh? He and K graduated from High School together. She is divorced also.

The funs starts when I go back to work

I must have missed that.

It's Mexican meatball soup. It's soooo good and really easy to make. Google it sometime you have extra hamburger around. You'll love it!

I was going to ask too. Sounds good!

WOW, my house is empty! Andy's working, my parents took the kids to my niece's soccer game, so it's piece and quiet for a few hours. I don't know what to do with myself. My hands hurt from playing LEGO rock band on my DSi all morning.

Enjoy the quiet

------------------------------------------------

The Halloween decorations and the Thanksgiving decorations are up Ran to the grocery store and am in the process of doing I ordered the soft pretzels for the snack stand at the soccer game tomorrow. We are having Taco's for dinner (look away T it's an Old El Paso kit)

Soccer tomorrow whice means I need to leave here about 9:30 to pick up the pretzel and get to the soccer field by 10:15 or so. Tomorrow is also picture day for the soccer league, so I am sure most everyone will be there. So it will busy which will be good!

Jimmy has PJ day all day. Spent the day watching Spongebob, Pokeman, and playing Transformers. Is it any wonder I have a headache!

Those pagent shows scare me. Have you seen toddlers and tiaras? OMG, those mothers are NUTS!:

Ab and BA LOVE that show! They have all the episodes on the DVR for some reason---scares me what they'll do with their daughters!

Ha! When my computer crashed, I was sure my roast was rotten, but it stayed for 3 days without going bad. Weird, huh?!:

the longer the cooking time, the longer the spoil time---and that one is a 2 day cook time,

Congrats on making a little money on the bovine.?!:

This show was about college age girls--they were hysterical as were the moms!

Overall, I like pageants, but only at the age where the girls want to do it---both my girls would love to do pageants if they had more time---it really is good life training to be able to get up in front of a large group of people and be confident and poised. I feel it's silly when the 3 year olds are crying---but they do look cute in the little dresses!



Can't wait to see some pics. I've subscribed to your PTR. I'll try to check it out tonight.

Sssshhhh Don'tellanyone I'm playing Hookie from work!!

WHAT??? ROSIE'S LAYING OUTTA WORK????

+++++++++++

Well I slept for 2 hours---still gotta headache but hopefully will keep from getting TOO sick.

Ab is watching Dirty Dancing---she said it should be rated R++---I don't remember that--anyone know what it was rated??
I like the songs! And it was filmed near Virginia Tech!

 

[jcc0621]

Dirty Dancing was PG13

OK. Enjoy!

They were dead, so I just threw them out. I don't know what I'd do if they were alive.

No.

Oops, thought I quoted TE - sorry about your headache, too.

I've made my pizza casserole, but sent D out for wine and he's not back, so I've got it on "warm and hold" and the kids are eating their fresh farm stand salad.

Next post is the wedding pictures! The photographer gave my BIL & SIL a disc with all 750 photos, and she burned a copy for me! Just some of my faves - they were very, very artistic and chic.

Sounds fun but yikes about the mice, hope you've got all of them!

WTH are fruit purees? I know Gerber baby food has a lot of sugar. Has she tried Nature's Best?

It's literally purreed fruit in a pouch which you give to toddlers, no additives, sugar etc And hope you got on film

So Em is kinda makin' up for being bad? Glad you are having a good time.

Well she only stopped here on her way to the airport

I'm so pleased we don't have kids beauty competitions here, I hate it as all children, well OK most, are gorgeous!

WOw, shes racking up the frequent flier miles!

She gets loads of free flights per year from her company. She's back again in a few weeks for a meeting at work!

Ab is watching Dirty Dancing---she said it should be rated R++---I don't remember that--anyone know what it was rated??

Over here it's a 15, it was my favourite film at that age!!!

Gorgeous CE, I love the one of the boys running

Welcome back Kat, can't wait to read all about it!!!


Em and Dad left just before 9 and we should have gone to the Remembrance service but skipped it. Dave washed the cars and went to the dump/tip whilst I filled holes in the bedroom wall. Why does it take so long to do jobs like that?

I'll send Jimmy over, he's great at spackling

====================

Getting ready for soccer then afterwards will be finishing up the laundry. Not much else planned for the day I'm going to roast a chicken for dinner, so that's nice and easy. The Eagles don't play until tonight, so it should be a nice quiet day.

Have a good one everybody

we just have a PG, PG13, and R.....I was thinking that Dirty Dancing was out before the PG13 started, but they may have re-rated it.

Great photos CE!

BA wanted to know what city you were in....and was their a giant drop off on the ledge you were standing!

 

[cmp1111]

Sounds fun but yikes about the mice, hope you've got all of them!

Me, too. It smells better down there, so I think I must have done.

Morning Fockers!

CE great pics! Sorry no quotes I just kind of skimmed through since I'm still not feeling well. But I hope y'all are having a good morning!

Not much planned in our house today. No football in our house today (well it will be on but we won't be cheering anyone on) since the Steelers don't play until tomorrow night.

I have some chapters and workbook stuff to do for my Med Terms class. I also need to study for a chapter test in Anatomy class and then the bones in the hand and foot for a test in Anatomy lab as well.

Gotta run! Have a good one everyone! I hope to be back later on today.

 

[askelton]

Good morning! I'm getting ready for another day of football but I did hear that pitchers and catchers report in 14 weeks!

Yesterday I made some barbecue sauce for Mitch to put with pork for sandwiches. My sis may come over later after Reid doesn't nap. They are getting very frustrated because he is tired and needs to sleep but he is willful and not. Amazing how children are so much like their parents.

I found a recipe for pumpkin pancakes that was yummo, but Mitch didn't want any so can you all come for breakfast? There are so many left! Guess some of those will go home with Reid too.

My doctor has the H1N1 vaccine but I didn't take it. I don't feel like I'm all that at risk so I'll leave it for someone who is. I was actually surprised when they asked if I wanted it.
