What happens when you let your kids stay up late

What my mom will read in her IM window in the morning:

You will not believe this
dawnmercedes says:
a couple of minutes ago, I told E* to go potty
dawnmercedes says:
everyone was going to bed
dawnmercedes says:
he goes into his bathroom,
dawnmercedes says:
comes out pulling up his pants and (calmly) says there is a frog in the toilet
dawnmercedes says:
so I creep in there with c*
dawnmercedes says:
and then I start screaming bloody murder
dawnmercedes says:
there was frog in there
dawnmercedes says:
swimming around
dawnmercedes says:
and then con started screaming
dawnmercedes says:
then Ken, who was in the kitchen, comes up to see what the screaming is
dawnmercedes says:
and he's going to take a pix b/c I don't want to look at it
dawnmercedes says:
and e* is "afraid" and ran into my room and slammed the door
dawnmercedes says:
and c* is saying that the frog crawled up from the sewer
dawnmercedes says:
okay, i need to go look at it
dawnmercedes says:
mck is telling ken to "shut the toilet daddy"
dawnmercedes says:
c* blew on it b/c it wasn't moving and it went back down the toilet
dawnmercedes says:
OH MY GOODNESS
dawnmercedes says:
gross
dawnmercedes says:
it's not one of our small cute frogs
dawnmercedes says:
it's a med. frog
dawnmercedes says:
I just went and looked
dawnmercedes says:
and asked ken if he thought if came up the sewer
dawnmercedes says:
and ken said yes
dawnmercedes says:
so I said flush it b/c it's oging to be diseased
dawnmercedes says:
and then we heard 'flush"
dawnmercedes says:
c* flushed it
dawnmercedes says:
so then I started SCREAMING again
dawnmercedes says:
and now e* is asking.."Is it going to break the toilet?' over and over
dawnmercedes says:
C* says, "what...you told me to flush it."
dawnmercedes says:
(I didn't tell him)
dawnmercedes says:
and now he's asking ken to check the toilet again to see if the frog came back up
dawnmercedes says:
and now...everyone is saying "put it on the blog...put it on the blog."
dawnmercedes says:
now e* is afraid to pee
dawnmercedes says:

great...

Creative Therapy

My BFF calls this "creative therapy." If I remember correctly.



I was exhausted and down yesterday. But instead of going to bed, I stamped up 6 cards.



First I made this Monkey card for KellyH but I might have to keep it b/c she doesn't like the sock monkey. This is an adorable card! haha





Then I decided to do something with all these embellishments that SCSers send. I have a bunch of primas/flowers. Pretty much my entire flower collection is from SCS. So I designed this card:



Then I decided to keep on creating flower cards...no stamping... (note the new Incolor pink)


Wow..fun! Just keep on going...


Yeah, yeah...this one has a stamped Background...


This one has 2 new Incolors...the red and the light blue... (this one needs a glue dot for that knot!)


Today's Ways To Use it Challenge...negative space! What could be easier than a frame, of course!



(I haven't forgotten your cards Aunt Lin. We've just spent too much of the day at the pool lately!_

Kindergarden

I have just filled out the paperwork for my youngest to attend kindergarden in September. I totally do not agree with it..but such is life.
