My cousin encouraged me to start numbering my titles so I don't hate them as much.  We'll see how it goes.

I wrote a blog post a few days ago.... and then DELETED the whole honking thing.  That post was number 1....  It was terrible (not the post... the deleting experience.),  so I had to give it a few days before I was ready to try again.

I'm ready now.

Bible Trivia! BT-- What is the phrase that is repeated in Song of Solomon?!  (answer at the bottom)

Yesterday Ben and I hit up the Monroe, WI city-wide garage sales.  I saw a SUPER cute looking monkey book.  So, I grabbed it... without reading it.

BIG mistake.

Sit back, and enjoy the first few pages of the wretched book I purchased.

"Welcome! I'm orangutan... hello and how do you do?  We are both a kind of ape, so I look a bit like you!  Our cousins are the chimps they like to talk a lot, but I take things slowly, especially when it's hot.  I love lying back and relaxing on a tree, but people are chopping down the trees... it's so sad for me"

No. I'm not kidding. UM?  Can something be so horrendous it's funny?  Because, I'm laughing and am horrified at the same time...  Let's just say, I'll be reading the books before I buy them no matter how cute or innocent they look....

Moving on,

Caleb has been on the phone a lot lately.  He uses whatever he can get his hands on for a phone-- dish towels, my hands, his hands, his foot, the remote control, a brush, curling iron, banana... you name it..

Here he is on a very important phone call with the remote control.  He's finding out some interesting news I'm sure.

A few weeks ago, my mom and I went to the True woman conference in Indianapolis, Indiana.  It was.... FANTASTIC!

 Check out this room full of women (and there was a whole other side)!!!

Mom and I got to spend some quality time together =)  I would highly recommend that EVERYONE (well, all females) go the next time they have it... in 2 years?  If you feel crummy because you missed it, you can click here to view all the sessions for free!!  

 We have sooo many leaves in our yard right now.  Here is Caleb playing in them.  It was maybe more like... I put him in there, and tried to take his picture while he was desperately trying to get out.  He didn't really like it.  It was scary, but I let him take his baseball bat with him.

And, just for kicks, here's a picture of my sweet boy who wouldn't smile for any picture no matter how hilarious I was being.  He sneezed just before I snapped this....  apparently sneezing is funnier than mom- what?!

and, I have to leave you with a hilarious joke. 

What does a nosey pepper do?

Get's jalenpeno business.'

BHAHA!  (I got that from the Pioneer woman's website.)
