Landon likes the "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" song like most kids do. I recently found he really likes it when I control him like a puppet. After the 2nd or 3rd round he stopped and made a face like i hurt him... but he just needed a short break and then wanted tani (arabic for more or again).

so as you know i have been using flickr on the blog... yeah over there ---->

well i have a new flickr widget for my computer... if you don't know about widgets go and check out yahoo widgets or don't worry about it... and the widget has the ability to blog straight from the widget itself... so this is simply a test... you can ignore it if you don't understand cuz i sure don't have the energy to explain it any further.

I know...shocker...this is Yvonne.
OK, I am so happy with the results I have to show everyone. I went downstairs and bought a couple of baskets and we got the mattress, so voila!

these pics aren't high enough quality to download and develop... so if you want them to print out download them from the Flickr pics on the right in all the squares... they're big enough there.

the people here just don't know what they're missing when they declare our cloved hoofed friends "unclean"

do they consider the litle piggies feeling when they say it's unclean... no!
have they ever given bacon a chance... no!
did they ever think it was wrong to recreate the childhood fairytale, "the three little pigs" to be "the three little sheep"... no! (and that's reality friend!)

it just like me and mushrooms... i always thought they were from the pits of hades. but then i gave them a chance! and now my thought is confirmed and is now reality... they are indeed from the prince of lies himself and come sprouting forth from his lair beneath the earth.

so anyway... all that to say that we decided to go on a little scavenger hunt for a pork store nearby. we called a friend and got some directions from him. we eventually found the place and bought some pork chops. as we were about to leave we saw a little sign on the cooler that said, "we have sausage with american spices" ... so we got some! yay! we came, we conquered, we bought some swine!

this morning i used the sausage to make some good ol' down home biscuits and gravy. to commorate this occasion i have decided to write a poem about them...

this morning i woke up sometime around nine...
and thought to myself, "let's start this day with some swine"
i busted it out and threw it in the pan...
and so thus started our breakfast a'la contraban.
why do some people call them unclean?
this thinking to me is just down right mean.
especially when don't know what they're missin'...
wasting so much time hatin' on pigs when they should be kissin'.
so anyway... we got the pan, the bisquick, the gravy...
and chowed them together... man it was savory!

Praise Him for Mark 7:18-19!

 

we placed an order for a custom crib and matching changing table here. cribs at the stores are pretty pricey (about $220). We got both of these for about that price... but it was a trying experience. he was a lazy guy. it was always "tomorrow" with him... but tomorrow finally came... about 9 weeks after we placed the order.

the "fog" was bound to return. every winter season the farmers up in the north of our country burn the rice patties and we are blessed with waves of smoke. i called it "fog" because all of the people here believe that that is what it is... but see... there is something that fog requires... a little component called "precipitation"... and for a city that has under 1 inch of rain a year, precipitation is a commodity that is in short supply.

fog... haha... okay.
