Blog Police?

So I've got this odd feeling that if I don't come up with something creative and post on this blog often enough I will be in "trouble". LOL!  It seems silly I know but I feel the need to watch my back.

So I have a few random things rattling around in my mind that I will throw out there. Things I think are worth remembering, funny to me things that maybe no one gives a rip about!

First, I learned why they call Leech lake, Leech lake. I found this out while in the water up to my waist when my husband (up to his knees) is looking around in the water down below and is following something. Pretty soon he yells "holy cow that IS a leech!". Oh holy Jesus I about faint and drown right on the spot. I have a deep fear of leeches after having ten, count them, ten leeches attached to my feet sucking every ounce of blood from my body and bible camp when I was like 12. The screams could have been heard all the way back to St. Paul I'm sure of it which led to my mother coming that very night at my begging and pleading to please come and pick me up from this horrible leech infested camp!
Then, all of the sudden one of the boys pulls the darn thing out of the water and it's like four feet long and about as big around as Danny's arm! Dear LORD! Ok, so it was about six inches long and about as big around as my thumb but still...dear LORD! The leeches I have been scared of since age 12 were only an eighth of that size. This was the first of about four or five more of these blood sucking savages we saw on our trip to the beach. I had to be strong for the children. I had to hide my fear and show them how to be brave. This was all the while they were laughing at me hysterically and throwing the leeches at me while I screamed bloody hell!

Second, Nick has learned to pee standing up (thank you Angie, childcare provider extraordinaire and her son, "big Nick"). This really isn't THAT exciting but it leads me to Nick's funny of the month. Dan and I were enjoying dinner with the boys this week and while we were sitting at the table Nick announces loudly  that he has to go poop. Well, okay then...he was off to the potty and we continued to eat supper. About five minutes passed and we were listening to Nick doing his normal talking, quiet singing, etc. Then he belts out singing "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT? WHO? WHO? WHO? WHO? WHO?" this sent us into hysterics and now I've been singing the song all week. Too funny not to share!

Third, my heartfelt moment of the week was when I read a letter Morgan wrote to me on Wednesday when she was with me at work. In all my years as a mother there is really nothing that warms my heart more then when my kids leave me little letters to find when they are away. This one was no different and I suddenly realized that my little girl is growing up and developing into such a fine young lady! I am so very proud.

We will be heading out to do school shopping this weekend which I think will bring more stories and good humor so I should be able to keep the blog police from kicking down my door!

Hope everyone is enjoying the tail end of summer.

Tried to post cabin pictures but blogger is being an asshole!
