Funny Family Stories.

I LoVe my FaMiLy! LOVE THEM! They really are great. They are there for me when times are good and bad. There really isn't anything better than family. I have a few funny stories to share about them.
My mom is out of town at Girls Camp. When she leaves town everything falls apart at home. Its as if no one knows how to DO anything. My sister Autumn can take care of herself and helps the helpless, namely the males in the family. They don't know how to function. Especially Tucker. He is my dog. He goes into morning when she leaves. In fact, I think he's lost a few pounds, which is a big deal considering he weighs all of 17 lbs. He walks around like he's lost his best friend. He has for the week anyway. He has no one to shadow like he does my mom. You gotta love that little ball of fur though. Anyway, my sister autumn and my mom and I spent the week prior to her leaving making card kits for the girls to do for their craft. This consisted of 200 kits of 10 different types of cards and none of the colors could be the same! It was quite the task, but we had a blast doing it! It was really fun to do things together and we busted them out in a few nights! My mom is so creative. Probably the most creative person I know, its no wonder my sisters have creative juices coming out of their fingers, they have my mom. So we made 200 cards and then my mom announced that we had to make scrabble piece necklaces as well.....ha! I didn't really help with that one because I had to work but they turned out great! I hope my mom had a fun time at camp, (she's not really the camping type. Her idea of camping is the Motel 6!) I can't wait for her to come home though!
While she's been gone I have been spending time with my little brother all week. He has been laid up due to a surgery on his leg. 2 years ago in August he broke his leg. His fibia and tibia and had to have a titanium rod put in his leg. So, last friday he had it removed. I have been his maid all week, and to tell the truth, it has been pretty fun. He is 17 years old. Typical boy. Like boy things and nothing girly which is going to make these stories even more funny. He sits on the couch and plays games on his laptop while I subject him to whatever TV I want to watch, and whatever food I can find. He pretends he isn't interested but he really is because I keep catching him watching the TV. So far to date we have watched a lot of I LOVE LUCY, because well, I love lucy! She's one of my favorites! He would laugh and laugh. We actually haven't watched too many cooking shows which is unusual for me because I LOVE the Food Network. I also love TCM, Turner Classic Movies. LOVE IT! So, one afternoon I went to TCM and it was "Howl's Moving Castle" it is an Anime movie. He protested it at first. HA! but, I got him! He LOVED it! He wouldn't admit it until the movie was over though....hehehe. When it ended I was like, 'I liked that!' and he was like, 'yeah, um....can we rent another one?' HA! it was so funny! So the next day I asked him which one he wanted me to go and rent and he looked it up and picked, "Princess Mononoke". So we watched it and it is violent! heads and arms and things were flying off everywhere. He said he felt pretty gay watching it when I was putting it on, but in the end it was pretty good. Then I was flipping through the channels a little later and came across "The Devil Wears Prada" so I turned that on. Adam wasn't too interested but watched it with me and then his friend Taylor came over and he sat down and watched it too. I was vacuuming the whole house during commercial breaks and then I had to go to work and I told them they could change it but Taylor was like, "No, I kinda like it" HAHAHAHA! I left two 17 year old boys watching "The Devil Wears Prada", it was priceless. The next day I turned on TCM again and "How to Steal a Million" was on, Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole, and I started cleaning the kitchen...Adam caught me up on the movie a little later. It was so much fun to spend some chillax time with my brother. I feel like Adam and I bonded, over Anime, Lucy, chick flicks and TCM movies. Huh, never thought that would happen.

A few funny Kayt-isms. Kaytlynn is my oldest niece, she just turned 4. She is my older sister Amber's daughter. She shared these funny stories with me. She prefaced this with, "Kayt apparently watches too much TV and now is getting too smart for her own good..."
Amber told Kayt to go and clean her room the other day and Kayt's response was, "Mom, don't just clean it, OXY clean it!" Bwahahahaha!
Ok, next do you know the Nation Wide Insurance commercials on TV? "Nationwide is on your side!" thats their jingle. Anyway, Kayt came and sat next to Amber and said, "My name's Kaytlynn Belle and I'm on your side!" Hahahahahaha!
Last story: Kayt got up to the dinner table and they were about to say a prayer and Amber said, "ok Kayt fold your arms we are going to pray" and Kayt was like, "Wait just a second" and blew a pink BEAD out of her nose! and then folded her arms like it was all no big deal. Maybe she was just saving it for later? HA! The things kids do!
My sister Autumn was helping me wax my legs last night. She was ripping and I was screaming! Adam was making fun of me for screaming. So, autumn and I went and attacked him with the wax and waxed part of his leg just to show him how bad it really hurts! He didn't even flinch. We forgot. He is on Lortab from his surgery. Nothings getting through that! Maybe I should borrow some so I can finish my legs?
