In the beginning of my blogging life...

I can't believe it. After months and months of lurking on other people's blogs - mostly other mommy's blogs - I'm finally starting one of my own. Why you ask? Because I need one more reason to put off the laundry. Because I don't want to load the dishwasher. Because I love everyone elses. I want one of my own. The "keeping up with the Jones" syndrome strikes again, but at least it doesn't cost anything, and I'll be keeping a journal of sorts. So it's a good thing. I am just throwing out at the beginning that I am not a writer and will never claim to be. I do often claim to be the funniest girl in the world and if whoever reads this doesn't smile or laugh once in a while, well, you are not of the funny variety. That's okay, it takes all kinds. I am of the funny variety, but I often have to tell people so they know.

Anyway, my sister was here this past weekend. She has been pestering me for some time to start one of these blog thingies. We went to the Discovery Gateway in SLC for the children, although a fun time was had by all. One of the greatest things were these two books I bought for myself - they are the greatest. If you need any Christmas gift ideas for older kids (I'd say 9-10 for the two I got at least) then consider these.



They have some two-page dot-to-dots that actually go up to 1400 ish, plus he has you do them in all these creative ways. Way fun. The books were $7.95 each. Books 1 through 4 are not super challenges and I don't know if they are quite as hard, but they are probably worth getting too. I don't know if I should be embarassed to admit that I like to do these "kid" puzzles, but it's my blog and like the title says, I'm crazy. Pick these books up, they'll be hard to put down.Here's a picture of the boss doing his best dance move, just a little something to make you smile.

And thus ends my first post.

Whohoo!! You finally did it! And I so did not pester you!!! I gently encouraged. The kids love the video of the boss doin his thing. It made their morning.

Nice job! I think it is well known throughout the world that you are the funniest girl...but it can't hurt to make sure everyone knows.

I'm glad you cleared up the funniest girl thing for me. I wasn't sure if it was the truth, but it's in print on the interweb so it must be truth. :)

I love that video of Drew dancing by the way.
