Tent City in S. Korea

Doesn't everybody remember their parents helping them build a "fort" or "tent" in between the dining room chairs...despite their usual begging and pleadings to play with them or help them do something that knowingly will trash the living room...well I actually on this day which is the rarest of occasions really actually got into helping them do it (probably because Kyle was napping and so I didn't have to handle one more!!) and so I set up a lamp in there so they could pretend it was like a real campout and they had their "flashlights" and then I brought them some of their play kitchen utensils so they could "cook" me breakfast over the campfire!! Anyway, I think they really enjoyed it,especially because I didn't put them aside for once and tell them.."No I'm busy I can't play with this or help with this..."so there is something to be said about parental play even if it does knowingly trash all your hard work of cleaning just so you can go on a living room campout with your kids!! ;)

Well...he's off!!

Well as promised for like the 4 people that ever even look at my blog...Chris is now gone so now I don't have anybody to talk to so what better to do than blog some...now all I have to do is find the connection thing for the camera!! ;)

Welcome to....Beastly!!

Well, here's an official welcome and an even cheerier goodbye hopefully to August and its beastly hot days. I know that we live on base and certainly cannot complain about the distance to anything that we ever relatively need on a regular basis-but it's sad when it's so hot outside that you don't even want to walk the 1/4 mile to the BX or even worse to the pool!! ;) Anyway, we've had our share of Korean Augusts and are definitely ready to be done with them!! Do the states get this hot and humid, it's been so long since we've seen it or been there that we don't even remember the good ol' US of A. I know my mom says that the temperature is always in the upper 100's in St. George but hopefully at that temp. the humidity isn't that bad!! We sure hope not!! Anyway, I have some wonderful pictures and videos to post, but depending on how busy this next week is trying to get Chris ready for his departure for a few days, I might post all at one shot while he's gone....I mean what else is there to do at night when your husband is gone!! ;) So until then I'll keep checking yours and hoping that some of my fellow bloggers have updated theirs better than I have mine!! What a hypocrite, huh!! :)

Well Thanks...

Well at least my "faithful" girlfriends answered my 5th grader question, Thanks to Mindy and Jessica...I can always count on you to read my nothingness ramble and comment on it!! ;) Now neither answer was right, but very good try ladies!! I guessed 8 years as well because as we all know there is a limit of two terms, and one term is 4 years long...hence....4 years + 4 years= 8 years. Well not so in this case because IF (yeah right like this has happened in anybody's lifetime!!) a Vice President had to take over for the president and serves in that capacity for less than 2 years he may also run for the standard two terms as president as well so therefore the equation becomes....2 YEARS + 4 years + 4 years= 10 years!! The dude that answered incorrectly on the show went from $100,000 to $25,000!! How sad...but on the plus note maybe tomorrow's leaders (and I don't mean Barack Obama or McCain for that matter) will be the smartest of us all because each one of the little 5th grade class members on the show got it right!!

Are YOU Smarter than a 5th Grader??

Okay, so we're watching this show last night and they asked a question that Chris and I were sure that we knew...well from the sheer fact that I'm posting something about this question that proves that we were dead wrong!! Okay so here's your question for the day:

"According to the U.S. Constitution, how many consecutive years may a president serve?"

Okay there it it....I'm not even going to tell you the answer until I see if anyone can answer me!! Good Luck...no Googleing the answer either!! No cheaters allowed!! ;)

SYTYCD

Well I've previously posted about how I have it a goal to watch a whole season of a show here to prove that it can be done....but I've already failed in my pursuit...oh the shame!! Anyway, I did watch most of So You Think You Can Dance last night with Chris's awesome new Windows Vista program that allows us to record live TV and even pause it...how awesome for those "it just hit me" trips to the bathroom right in the middle of your favorite show!! Anyway, I like it when they get good enough at the dances they're performing to be able to use props..so check out one of my favorites from last night...once again don't know how to get the actual video here so just click on my "SYTYCD" title and it'll take you to it!! ;)

The Spousal Challenge

Well a "stellar" (what the quiz described) performance was put up by my darling husband...he only missed three states and he didn't have a USA map right next to him cheating...how sad is that for me!! ;)
