No refunds

Autumn and I were talking and I told her I was going to kill Tymber ( this is after Tym has been grounded for a week for not cleaning the basement, then made a huge mess in it again) Hope was listening and pipes up you can't kill Tymber, I asked her why, "there are no refunds mom" I asked her what she meant "mom if you kill Tymber she will die and go to heaven, there are no refunds we will never get her back and she is to young to die" oops, bad mom I had to explain to her I wasn't really going to kill Tym it was just a figure of speech and I was just mad at her.
She is a crack up. Also she has been telling me what she wants for her Birthday, I might add it isn't until September but hey a girl can never plan to far ahead I guess. She saw a mud pie maker on tv... a what? are you serious they are really trying to sell you something to make mud pies?

Now your little ones will make perfect mud pies with the help of this outdoor kitchen set. It features a hand-crank mud mixer that pivots up and down just like mom's. There's also a real working sink that uses a water reservoir; simply pump button for water release. Includes sink strainer, shaker and lid, pie mold/tin, large mixing bowl, mixing spoon/scoop, measuring cup and cutting board. Some assembly required. Measures 22" L x 14" W x 28 1 /4" H. One-year warranty. For ages 2 and up. All for the price of 39.95

Um I don't think so, my kids have plenty of dirt and plenty of water and imagination to be spending 40.00 to make mud pies. I told her she was out of her mind. Her reply was but mommy I really really want it. I told her I really really wanted a million dollars and that isn't going to happen. She said but mommy if you buy it for me I promise I will get you a million dollars for your birthday. Ahhh to be 5 years old and have life be that simple and that cut and dried. What a cutie she is.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Blackfoot High School put on the play Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. We went to see it and it was AWESOME! I figured it would be good because I like the musical itself, but you know I wasn't sure of the talent of the high school kids. They were amazing. The lead singers were really really good and all of the other brothers and sisters were very good also. The play followed the original and the acting was great as well. They took a lot of time on the props and did a beautiful job. The drama dept. had to rely on the public for support or they would not be able to put on a play next year as their funding has been cut :-( but they announced tonight that they are able to put on another musical next year that enough money was raised to do so. Yeah! We went with Justine, Ryan ( he even liked it even tho he really didn't want to go) and my parents. Rich was supposed to go but his back is out bad again so he had to stay home. Tymber wasn't going to go but changed her mind and liked it. Hope was even entertained thru the whole thing. A fun evening with the kids o something that was well supported and a good family activity.
