Stylish Plumeria!

I have always liked our plumeria, the way its branches bend instead of breaking, and the way the flowers look when it is in bloom. Recently however, when walking home from the park I have noticed that the plumeria looks kinda barren and sad. So I came with a great idea to restore its look of color and fullness, that is both practical and useful. We can use it as a hat-rack! That way you have a convenient place to hang your hats during a barbecue, your tree looks really stylish, and you can get a great new storage place. See! Even the shadow looks cool. The one problem is if it rains your hat will get wet, or the hat gets dirty, or rodents start living in it, or spiders and other bugs make a home it, or it gets blown away, or your hat could get stolen, or… okay maybe it really isn’t such a great idea.

Holding a Charge

While we were eating dinner this evening we were bemoaning the fact that we couldn’t find a working suitcase turntable for Anne (the first one came broken). And Mom and Dad had been looking at different options, and there was one that looked really neat, but the battery would not hold a charge. So as they were discussing this Veronica suddenly chimed in, “And I think all those batteries should come with clamps, because it would get tiring if you had to hold in the charge all the time.” It was very cute the way she said it, but I think she had reached the end of her knowledge on the subject.

February 3rd!

Yay, it’s finally February 3rd, and not Groundhog day. Reliving the day over and over was really annoying, but I figured it out. It all had to do with living a perfect day or something like that. By the way did the silly groundhog see it’s shadow or not? You know after 37 days you’d think I would have figured that out.

Trumpet Problems

Apparently someone does not want me to practice well. I mean it’s just one thing after another this week. First, when I tried to play my trumpet nothing came out, but a weird muted note. Turns out there was a cleaning brush which had somehow gotten wedged in the front of my trumpet. Then while I was wrestling with Stephen I busted my lip really badly. Then, as my lip was finally healing, I got a cough  and a runny nose. What next, will my trumpet keys get welded in place?

Sick as a Dog

Have you ever wondered where the expression “sick as a dog” comes from? I mean do dogs just get sick more often then people? I don’t think this is the case because every time I see a dog it looks fairly healthy… you know for a dog. Or do dogs just get extra sick when they do get sick? Having never owned a dog I may never know.

The Langenkamp Show!

We truly must live in a TV show or a sitcom! We were all going about our daily work, when Robert saw one of our neighbor’s wallet fall out of his pocket. Not wanting to go outside by himself he asked Jonathan to go and return the wallet. Of course Jonathan went out, and returned the wallet, but really, what are the odds.  Somehow Robert saw a wallet fall out a mans pocket across the street, through a window.

Grade A!

So the other day Mom saw Jonathan siting at his desk scribbling on a piece paper. When she asked him what he was doing he said he was trying to figure out what grade he got in one of his classes. So Mom asked him the percentages were, and he said 95.84, 97.21, 97.21, 93.22, 98.43, 99.49, 82.13, and 92.72. Yeah… Mom told him an A is an A no matter how you add it.

FedEx!

So today a FedEx car drove up, and the FedEx came out to bring us a package. As he was walking up to the door, Veronica saw him through the window, and yelled in her small yet excited voice, “FedEx!” As he handed Mom the package he laughed about Veronica’s excited squeal, which had pierced the walls quite effectively. He was quite amused, and gratified at Veronica’s enthusiasm.

Toads in Florida

So a couple days ago Nicholas was taking out the trash and he called us out to show us something. As it turns out it was this very large toad.kimg0603

We all watched it for a while, and were really quite impressed with this small rotund creature. The funny thing is, though this toad was fairly large, it was just an ordinary toad. We had frogs in Ohio by the dozens every year, and took little notice of them. Then when we moved to Florida we thought the lizards were quite the novelty. I had never seen a lizards in person before we moved to Florida, because they could not survive the winter in Ohio. Now we think nothing of the lizards and think frogs are a novelty! However, lizards do still freak out Mom  if they get in the living room.

Yeah, this what happens when you write like people in movies. But who can blame them? I like beating on the keyboard too.
