  • This and That Thursday

    July 21, 2011

    It’s time for the return of….This and That Thursday!  Here’s a few of the highlights:

    1. Becky lost her first tooth on Monday.

    2. Becky also got her own library card today.

    3. I found a different way to scrapbook here.  Even though they are out of the kits, I was able to get a binder, photo sleeves, and journaling cards to start and they’ll be here tomorrow!!  Will talk more about it later – stay tuned!

    4. Bought the real Bambi book by Felix Salten and I’ve read the first three chapters already – very good!

    5. Bought a book on nature study so that we can do more outside stuff this school year – should be fun.

    6. The car will go in tommorrow (Friday) – hopefully it’s an easy fix and we get it back same day.  If not, our big pizza feast on Sunday will be postponed another week.

    Well, that’s my week in a nutshell – hope yours is going well!

    I didn't realize Bambi was a book, but I guess I should've. Disney hasn't had an original movie idea before or after Emperor's New Groove.

    Spoilers - Bambi's mom dies.

    Just don't tell the kids that - it's going to be a read-aloud next month. But yeah, I didn't realize it either until I was reading another book that was set in 1936 and she was talking about reading "Bambi" to her kids. So, I googled it (naturally) and - voila! - the rest is history. It was a bestseller in its day if I remember right.

    Yes you may :-). It will be on Sunday and I will take pictures and blog about it. It will be something to remember because we have not all been to a restaurant - all 10 of us - in a really long time.

    I need to finish building our ark (can't believe I'd say that in July) and I'll push off. :)

    I saw that on Weather Channel - people dancing in flooded streets in Chicago!! You are SO lucky though - we heard thunder today, but it all fizzled by the time it got here. Even if it could just get cooler - like 90 - I'd go for that.

About Me

Mom avatar

Hi - welcome to Oh Crap! and if you come back enough times you'll soon find out why I named my blog that.

I am an unperfect mom to 8 great kids: 5 boys and 3 girls (and I had them in that order too).

I have been married for either 40 really long or really short years depending on how my day is going.

Even though I have homeschooled my children for the last 31 years, I am certainly no supermom - unless you count the days I have to rescue my daughters from a moth in their room.

I love coffee, chocolate, and music from the 80's. I enjoy reading books, chick flicks, and thirtysomething.

So, that's me in a nutshell (and I'm probably more of a nut than you know). Thank you for visiting me on my blog!
