Jacob: Did you know there is this guy that we learned about school who walked around the WHOLE world? It look him like 20 years or something.
Me: Really? Wow. How did he walk over the oceans.
Jacob: I dunno...maybe he took a boat across the water.
Me: And just walked in place the whole time the boat was in the water?
Jacob: {eyeroll}
Lucas: I KNOW! It was probably Jesus!
All of us: What?
Lucas: Jesus walked on the ocean. So it was probably him. It's in the bible, you know.
----------------------------------------------
Lucas: Where do moles live?
Jason: Underground
Lucas: I know that, but where? Like what part of the world?
Jason: Pennsylvania
Jacob: Actually, that's where vampire moles live.
--------------------------
Lucas runs by me and I grab him and pick him up and give him a hug.
Me: I love you, buddy.
Luke: Me too, mom.
Me: Man, you're getting so big, I'm not going to be able to pick you up and hold you like this much longer.
Luke: I can still hug you...and maybe when that happens I'll get SO big I'll be able to pick you up and hold you.
Me: Yah, you'd have to grow pretty big though.
Luke: Oh YAH. REALLY big.
{hmph}

In other news.
It's still snowing.
And it's cold. Like hurts when you breathe cold.
So cold that your (my) car won't start in the morning and your (my) husband has to come home to take the kids to school but hey that actually works out pretty good for you (me) so why the complaining about the cold?
Before my husband came home to take the boys to school, our pooch was barking her fool head off. She is not a barker, so naturally I thought there were criminals surrounding the house, waiting to break in.
Not so.
This is what she was barking at:
Now, crapalicious photo skills here aside, how freakin' COOL (supercool) is that? That's basically our driveway. She cut right across our front yard and toodled off down the road.
I did a couple of scrapbooky things today for the store.
This layout, which I don't love, but I try to do 12x12 layouts for the store as most of our customers scrapbook the larger format, so there you have it.
I have to say, I do love the paper, (Scenic Route Rockland), I just don't feel like I did it justice.
And I made this card out if the scraps:
1. I love that layout.
2. I love that card.
3. I am wiping away my tears at those conversations. Those kids of yours drive me to tears (in a good way.)
4. MOLES in Pennsylvania? Is that the ONLY state they live? Because really, I can just picture them at the border wanting to get over in to New York or Maryland. But the Border Mole Police are waiting to stop them.
5. Deer cool. Snow is not.

I busted a gut at the things your kids say. Where do they come up with these things?
Love the banner.

HAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Know what made me laugh the hardest?
The fact that you said TOODLED.
That is a great word.

To be a fly on the wall at the Overton house is something I can only dream of. Fabu projects and how cool is that deer in your yard? (minus the snow).
