Summer's Fabulous Parenting Tips

Jun 10, 2009 12:45

When you are preparing for a 9 day trip, washing things, grocery shopping, packing bags, loading the car, and running around in circles trying to make sure you remember everything, you must still watch your children very, very closely ( Read more... )

Glad everyone made it home safely (if not bug-free)! It was great seeing you all.

It was great seeing you too and the sandwiches were better than fantastic. Thank you

Also, remember that "No" means "Donkey Kong"...

...glad you all made it back safely.

yes, now when the children misbehave I will have to remember to say "DONKEY KONG" perhaps they'll remember it better than they do "NO!" :)

No Means Donkey Kong is still one of the best things ever.

Though, if you fail to notice/prevent said pill-bug collection, you can always amuse yourself with the thought of a ragdolli running around the house for the whole week, frantically trying to sweep up said bugs and eventually making it a Personal Olympics Event by attempting to sweep them up fast enough that it is possible to gather and dispose of them *before* they die by keeping them in "rolled" position long enough. This should be imagined with all of the appropriate Maniacal Laughter of Triumph and the Colourfully Loud Swearing of Frustration that goes with such a thing.

I was, however, relieved to find out that we were not just being randomly invaded by the RolyPoly Army.

LOL - I was thinking of making bug jewelry out of them, rolled up they look like little beads

I love that I went straight to sporting events, and you went for Earth Mama Accessories.

At some point, I may or may not admit to playing pill-bug marbles (but only because I couldn't find anything to use as mallets so that I could play mini-Wonderland-croquet).
