Swinging and Singing

We have a wooden swing in our garage.

Thats not the strangest thing about our house. This swing was hanging from the celing in our playroom when we bought the house.

When the house is clean and its too hot to eat a snack outside, the kids play on the swing. Usually we have to sing (rap??) one of their favorite songs:

All I do is win, win, win no matter what
Got money on the mind, I can never get enough
And everytime I step up in the building
Everybody hands go up

And they stay there, and they say "yeah", and they stay there
Up, down, up, down, up, down
'Cause all I do is win, win, win
And if you goin' in, put your hands up in the air, make em' stay there



While I'm confessing, I will admit that Colt sometimes asks for "hands in the air" video on the computer. Thats code for I want to dance like a crazy person while listening to Ludacris.

Before you throw stones at the Miller household, know that we don't let our kids watch cartoons. The kids get home from school at 3pm so there isn't much time to watch TV. Besides rainy days at school, Colt has never watch Dora, Thomas the Train or anything else. We've never set up our DVD player in our house.

I'm guessing you aren't going to let your kid come play at our house?

Getaway

I've had 2 short getaways lately.

First, I had sinus surgery which included pain meds, milkshakes, children away, no work, hubby at work, naps on the sofa and watching TV. The procedure went as planned and I didn't have any brusing, swelling and no, I didn't get new boobs- despite what my sister says!

Second, we had our annual girls trip to the lake for 3 days which included 14 adults, yummy food, good drinks, gossip, laughs, no sleep and old magazines. Our Granny Girls Getaway always includes cute t-shirts



The art project is always fun at the beginning when everyone is concentrating and involved.


After 2 hours and lots of grumbling, we complete our projects


This year my SIL made Redneck Wine Glasses for everyone (small mason jars atop candlesticks)


Did I mention that we like to eat?


Already looking forward to next year!
