say what?! white smoke?!

So apparently everyone on facebook is talking about the new pope, and the white smoke, blah blah...

I thought the first person who referenced white smoke was talking about getting high. lol! I won't say who it was b/c honestly when I saw it I thought "Ha, they would be."

Well, a new pope. That's good.

Moving on, my step-kids are hilarious. We are planning to have them a little b-day bash next weekend. Nothing big. Just some pizza and cake at the park and it will be Dr. Seuss themed :) Then on Sunday we are leaving and going to Pigeon Forge! Yay! We will come back Monday, but I'm very excited that we will get to stay the one night. The kids have never stayed in a hotel before :)

I kinda got side tracked. This is why they are so funny. Yesterday we went to Fort Oglethorpe to pick up Gabe's meds and so I thought we would go by the park too. I stopped at Sonic and got them something to drink and a corndog to munch on for the drive to town. As we were going through the Battlefield I glance in my rear view mirror and Mary is holding up her corndog, which she has bitten 2 eye holes and a mouth in. She then says a line from the movie Shark Tales, "I'm not a loser... I'm a WIENER!"

Seriously it was funny, if for no other reason than it was totally unexpected when I looked at my mirror. Of course when I laughed she took that as an "ok" to say it about 10 more times even after she bit his head off. lol.

Then we get to the park and Gabe attempts to tell all the little kids that it's a dangerous play ground and to not walk it the puddles :) Ethan was wearing his trusty rainboots so he didn't heed Gabe's warning. Then Joey used his fingers to draw a road in the middle of the sandy walking track. It was a very nice picture (he's going to be an artist). Everything was cool til the mom with a stroller started heading his direction. He just stayed quiet and watched her til she passed him. Joey had drawn a "Roads closed" sign and the mom was fast approaching it. He started chasing her and saying "No! Wait! The roads closed!" lol. It would have been better had the mother played along, but most people don't know how to Gabe and Joey in. That's ok most of the time though b/c they think those people have the problem, not them. I hope it stays that way.

The only damper of the day was while I was pushing Joey in the swing he kept yelling "Ninja!" over and over and over and over, and this mom was just STARRING at him.

Didn't her mother ever tell her it's not nice to stare? I don't think it's me being over self conscious either. She was definitely starring. How annoying.

School is school, but I'm ok with that :) I'll have to take 3 summer classes and a full load this fall and then I'll be *IN* the program. Woo hoo! Right now I'm making 3 A's and one C. The C is in my Art Appreciation class. Soooo thought it was going to be a breeze course. I was wrong.

Friends are great, just wish I had more time to spend with them. Especially my BFF Rach and my bug Haddie Jo :)

Family is great too, SIL will be having that baby in just a few weeks (if she makes it that long) and I can't wait!!!!!!!! I love that new baby smell, much better than new car smell. lol.

OOO! and my DIY has taken off :) I've always LOVED making things and for right now I'm taking full advantage of people wanting to purchase my creations. I pretty much live at the new Michael's in Fort Oglethorpe. You have no idea.... :/  

and 1/4 of our living room is devoted to my craft supplies. One day ::insert dreamy face:: I'm going to have a big, old, beautiful house with a big room just for my crafts. Chris can have a gamers paradise and I'll have a craft cave. lol.

I need to snap out of it and finish some laundry before the hubby gets home! Kid free night, oh what will we do?!
