Summer Ain't Over Till We Say It's Over!

To Infinity and BEYOND!

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye...

A little more on the saying goodbye to paci...Caleb thought it was funny at first that his paci was broken. Immediately I had this God-given image of him still keeping his paci in his mouth broken. Yes, he was that attached! Just keeping it in his mouth even though he couldn't suck it. So I thought, let's have a throwing away "ceremony" to say goodbye forever. So we all trekked into the bathroom, our very small bathroom, our only-one-in-the-house-that-all-five-of-us-share-and-its-the-only-room-still-reflecting-the-1978-original-design-of-the-house bathroom. Anyway...I lovingly explained to him that paci was broken and it didn't work anymore. So we needed to throw it away in the trash. I also reminded him that he was a "big boy" now and he didn't need it anymore. So here's the pictures...so sweet! By the way - IGNORE the bathroom, and yes, ew!, the toilet seat is up!

10,000 Maniacs

How do you like that reference?! Anyway, while we were on vacation, or vacay, as we like to call it, we hit a milestone in our little blog world! We have now officially had 10,000 visits since we first started! So all that to say, my three readers have been quite faithful to our blog!

So in order to celebrate, we want to hear from you! We want to know who our readers are, and yes that includes the stalkers, lurkers, and mutual friends! So leave us a message, introduce yourself (if we don't know you) and celebrate with us!

So You Think You Can Dance!

This is a rarity for me. I don't usually post about tv, but this time I wanted to share this with you. I LOVE So You Think You Can Dance, and last night, a ballet dancer was paired not only with another guy, but had to do hip hop. For those of you who dance is just a foreign language, this is crazy! Ballet and hip hop are so opposite and to see someone who is SO well trained in his area, and then have to leave all that at the door and do hip hop REALLY WELL is amazing! So if you are interested watch this video...if you don't like rap music, don't watch it!



Here's the link if it keeps freezing up on you!

Now back at me...

I LOVE the Old Spice commercials...

Last night while watching LOST, Ed and I cracked up laughing at the commercials below. And we were still laughing today about it...and Ben Linus' funeral speech last night.

Enjoy...

Letters to the Editor

So a couple of weeks ago, my friend Emily, started a post of letter to who or whatever. Sorry Emily, it has taken me this long to respond, but I've been collecting some good ones! This is so up my alley!
Here's my latest:

Dear Ants,
Let me properly introduce myself. I am the owner of this house that you have chosen to invade. I have to hand it to you, you are a persistent little creature. And while I acknowledge the fact that The Creator did indeed make you, you are not welcome in my home. I will find you out! I will hunt you down until I find your home and destroy it. Stay away from my kitchen. Yes, our food is good, but you may not have any. And really, Caleb's vomit in the bathtub, is that delectable to you?? Hope you had a good stay in the Martin home, but you better either pack your bags or you will die! It's all out war baby!
Sincerely,
A Very Determined Human Who is Much Bigger Than You

Dear Snow,
I look forward to your arrival every year. And usually, without fail, you don't appear. But this year, you came and you came in abundance! You really are gorgeous!
However, we wouldn't mind you disappearing at this point. You've kind of run your course, most of us are over you and really we would be much more happy if you melted away from the heat of the sun.
Best Regards,
So Over the Snow and Cold for that matter, Katie

and speaking of "the heat of the sun"...
Dear Spring,
Oh, how I miss you! Its been a while since we've seen each other and I so look forward to your warm sunny days perfect for taking family walks. I know you are still a few weeks away, but what do you think about making an early appearance?!
Waiting Anxiously,
"I'm tired of being cold" Katie
