Slip-n-Slide FUN!

Now, that's a brave grandmother!  Sam says, "Thanks for the ride, Grammy!"

Tag! You're it!

I'm new to this blogging "tag" thing but here goes....

Payton tagged me me for this meme:  Six Quirky Things about You

Here are the rules:

- link the person who tagged you

- mention the rules in your blog

- tell about six unspectacular quirks of yours

- tag a new set of six bloggers by linking them

Ok, here are my quirky (or at least not well known) things....

1. I cannot sleep with the palms of my hands facing up, unless they are under a pillow or covered.  I also still sleep with my "Pilla" from childhood.

2. Since I was a child, I've rubbed my ears, especially when I'm tired, nervous or stressed.  I especially love to rub them when they're cold.  It soothes me.  And, although I never knew her, my great-grandmother did this too!

3. I have a chronic itch on the bottom joint of my right pointer finger.

4. I will NOT walk on sidewalk grates - PERIOD.

5. I've always had very dark hair and get compliments often.  However, most people don't know that since my mid-20s...yes, I've been coloring my gray.  Lots of it!  That's the only thing I'm vane about.  It's hereditary but I'm not ready.

6. Not necessarily quirky, but not too common either...I donate blood on a regular basis, ever since college.  I'm O-negative, "the universal donor".  Anyone can accept my blood in a time of crisis; however, I can only accept O-neg blood.  I give life to tiny babies and those in urgent need.

Ok, here are the people I'm tagging.  Not quite six.  I don't know that many bloggers.

Lindsey - whether you like it or not!

Rachel

Lauren

Christina - maybe this will prompt you to update your blog...since Christmas!

Beth - you need to get with it too!

Bruiser Brice

This is what it looks like when the bathtub wins!

Yellow Belt

Sam "earned" his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do today! He's been taking class through Tae Kwon Do On the Go, a program that comes to his school. These pictures make him look better than he is but I think with more practice and focus he can do well. At least his instructor, Mrs. Lisa, seems to think so. We'll see..... And, YES, he really did break that board with the "hammer hand" technique.

#5

This is what 5 years of marital bliss looks like... Little did we know that dinner at Bone Fish Grill would turn into greeting the NEXT day (when was the last time we did that?!) at a Black Card party at Tic Toc! Wow!! Thanks for the late-night babysitting Momma!

And this is how you spend the day of your anniversary when you have little kids! Sam said he was wearing goggles so Brice's spit wouldn't get in his eyes.

Bathtime Giggles

Saturday play...

Sam had so much fun with his best buddy, Caden, today. Brice wanted to get in on the action too!
