Go Fly a Kite!

Today, Corey and I went on a LONG exhausting search for a kite. We started at Toys R Us. They were basically sold out of the cheap ones so we went over to Target. They had PLENTY, but Corey decided there were better ones at Wal-Mart and he'd rather have one there. So, off we went to Wally World. He came back empty handed. Then, off to Hobby World, which is supposed to be open until 5:00, but they decided to close at 3:00. Then, off to Hobby Lobby. No kites. Soooo, back to Target. Ugh. Finally we got to the park and stayed about an hour. There were a couple of other folks out there flying their kites, too. It was beautiful outside! Here are some photos of our fun day:

And here are a couple of videos of us trying to keep the kite up!

I Designed a Bag!

Kroger is having a contest for people to design a "green" bag. This was my design...



What do you think?

SKUNKED!!!

OH.MY.GOSH.

Last night, while watching the Idols get kicked off, I noticed a PUTRID odor coming into my house. It kept getting worse and worse. So bad, that I RAN (and ya'll KNOW I don't run) into the kitchen gagging! Apparently, a skunk had been in our yard and it got spooked and we all know what happens then...So, my ENTIRE house was enveloped in skunk stink! Thank God my nose has been stuffed for the past week and I couldn't smell it to the fullest extreme because we would have probably spent the night at the nearest hotel!

Today when I came home, it was still really bad. So, I opened all the windows in the house and sprayed Febreeze and Oust all over everything. My poor Coach bag even stinks! Anyway, I read online to deskunk a house you should boil vinegar and lay out coffee grounds in each room and it will neutralize the odor. I have to say, it has done wonders for the stench! We can still smell it, but it isn't NEARLY as bad as it was!!!

So, if anyone reading has any suggestions (and no, tomato juice does not work) please share them with us. I think this is quite possibly the grossest thing to ever befall my home! Ugh...


For such a cute animal it sure makes the vomit hit the back of my throat!

Tee-hee-hee...

Kitty

Rain...

This is what was going on at my house today!
