Jell-O anyone?
At this point I think it's safe to say that I probably have more Jello-O than apples. Well maybe.
I decided to clean out the cupboards today, so that when we get around to painting them and then replacing those God-awful ugly counter tops (Corian or granite? I was SURE I was going with granite, and now, not so sure.), I won't have quite the mess to deal with as far as the cupboards go.
We do go through a lot of Jell-O. It makes great faux watercolours for the little ones to finger paint with...and you can finger paint with the puddings too! Just add a little food colouring to vanilla pudding, and voila! Makes clean-up a breeze too. Just lick those fingers clean! OK, I'm kidding. Well, not really. There's usually a bath involved immediately after our little artiste' has finished expressing herself via Jell-O!
And if that weren't enough excitement...contain yourself please, here's what the rest of our day entails:
Oh sure, living in New England is so pretty, and picturesque. However, for those of you living in, oh, lets say Arizona, you don't spend your weekends raking all these damned leaves only to have more fall 5 minutes later.
What could be more fun than raking leaves and cleaning out cupboards?
Wasp-slaying.
I know, I know...you wish you could be us.
We discovered...well actually Casey discovered, after being stung by one of these angry little yellow fuckers the other day, that we have a massive nest outside, near the back deck. I was sweeping the deck yesterday and uncovered a huge group of the horrid things under a pile of leaves. I immediately threw the broom across the yard and ran, screaming for my life, into the house, hoping one of the sonofabitches didn't follow me indoors.
The discovery of the wasps means that the hubby gets to play the lead role in; "The Angry English Wasp Slayer." He hates them more than I do, as he's been stung on the face, three times, by the nasty little gits!
If that wasn't already enough for one Sunday, we have puppy-wrangling to contend with as well. Creepy Whistling Dude's dog has once again gotten into our back garden and is leaving presents for us. We've decided to electrify the back fence. We'll see how much Josie the Outlaw Dog likes digging under the fence then!
I tell ya, it's hard to be humble when your lives are as exciting as ours. *insert heavy sarcasm*
What are you doing this weekend?
