Corn & Tomatoes

Tomato sandwiches, tomato salad, tomatoes on bread, tomatoes on...well...just about everything this time of year if you live where we do. Then there is the corn. I have now frozen approximately 28 lbs of corn. Might sound like a lot but when I think of all the bags of corn I buy throughout the winter for all my soups and stews and muffins etc, I have a feeling none will go to waste.

What's he smiling about?

Okay now it's just getting weird...they're dropping like fli...teeth? Really? Hello?! It's CORN ON THE COB SEASON!! Why can't all children loose EVERY one of their front teeth in January? And if that were not bad enough...soon I am going to need to borrow money from Cooper to make the mortgage payment...

So glad you understand

Ah yes blog, it has been a while. Don't take it personally...it's not you. Really. The hours just turn into days, turn into weeks, you get the picture. Between work (we broke another record), the boys (we lost another tooth), the house (framing starts next week), summer (huh, did somebody say summer...is it summer?) and school (yes SCHOOL) starting...well please understand. But see blog, you will understand because you are like a good good friend or maybe like a dog (if I liked dogs)...you're just here, willing to listen to me go on and on about nothing and you don't seem to mind if I neglect you for days (weeks?). You don't even need fed unless of course you count PP&L and Verizon and Firefox and Norton and yeah okay lets not GO there okay.

Recurring question

Questions

I decided to take the day off and spend it with my boys...just me and them. I share with you my day... Why do we have a tongue? What is the heaviest thing in the world? Is there anything that can pull a tree out of the ground? Can we listen to Hits 1? Can we stop at the candy store? Are you going to swim with us? Are we going to spend the night? How long can you hold your breath? If I held my breath forever would I die? Can we take the back way? Is the pool going to be warm? Can you teach me how to jump off the diving board? Can anyone lift up a house? Are you strong enough to lift up a table? Are you strong enough to lift up Duncan? .... Yes. If everyone in the whole word died would the earth be brown? When will I be old enough to swim without my bathing suit? ...today Can I have a cookie? Can I have some skittles? Can I have a freeze pop? Can I have another cookie? Are you getting in? Will you blow up my floaties? Can you dive? Can you dive and swim under my legs? ...yup Will you catch me? Will I sink? Does my new truck float? ...no Do wasps sting? Are they deadly? Can you count to one hundred million thousand? Do we have to take a nap? Marco? Can I take pictures? How fast does your car go? What is the speed limit? Can I close my eyes? I am quite sure that this is just a small sampling but you get the point...what an awesome day.

One week later...give or take, we are not completely sure. Said tooth has not been found. It was discovered missing sometime Sunday morning but its last known sighting seems to be blurry. It could have gone down with the Banana Split dinner or the popcorn dessert but then again it could have been swallowed in his sleep I suppose (does that really happen?). Either way...if you want a good laugh call Coop and ask him to say Mississippi.
