Gunna wash that Bob right outta my hair

I don't think anyone ever expects to be greeted by the little square yellow figure, but alas, CMH and I have been graced by his presence.  I don't know whether it was mom or dad because they both used our bathroom while they were up here, but one of them put him in our shower where he rested in suspense for the next morning to approach.  CMH found him as he was grabbing the shampoo bottle to lather up.  Such horror having one of the greatest private rituals of the day be intruded by a peeping "Bob".

So we have Spongebob for the time being, but it won't last.  For all of those headed to Grandma's in the near future, beware....

Merry Christmas from the three of us... ;-)

Pistachio and Maraschino Bob

12-12-12

So, I (CW) like to try new taste sensations.  Especially if they are sweet and gooey and taste good.  AWM is a great cook and always trying out new dessert recipes.  She posted a picture on Facebook of a Pistachio Bundt Cake that looked awesome.  When I saw the picture, I thought.  "Yummm, I'd like to try that." 

She must have read my mind, because a day or so later, when I came home from shopping there was a reasonable sized (AWM knows I don't like to sabotage my weight management program....such as it is....or isn't, on any given day) slice of cake sitting on a plate on my kitchen counter.  When I looked at it I noticed there were maraschino cherries in it.

I have loved maraschino cherries since I was about 4 when my dad bought me my first banana split and it had one on top of each of the three scoops of ice cream.  They were nesting perfectly in a swirl of snowy white whipped cream, and they even had the stems sticking out.  (That's was a veritable taste sensation for a 4 year old. However, I think my dad bought it for me, knowing full well that no 4 year old tummy can accommodate THAT much ice cream and 3 different toppings, whipped cream, nuts, AND 3 bright red maraschino cherries.  He willingly took care of the larger portion.  And back in those days, a Dairy Queen Banana Split was HUGE.)

Anyway, back to the Pistachio Cake.

Since there was only one piece, and EW AND GJW would be coming home from school soon, and I was kinda excited to try Pistachio and Maraschino together.....it looked quite Christmasy even.....I didn't waste any time getting a fork from the drawer.  This was my cake and I was going to savor every bite.

So, I picked up the little plate, held it up near my chin so as not to lose even a single crumb, and gently slid my fork in to ease off a bite size piece.  Pulling the bite away from the rest of the piece of cake..............WHAT THE HECK??????

THAT'S NOT MARASCHINO CHERRY!!!!!!! IT'S.....IT'S Skateboard wheels!!!!!

I'll give you one guess WHO?....not what is was.   

MAJOR disappointment.  No cherries.......but the cake was delicious anyway.

Messing with your mind

I guess I got some 'splaning to do.
I have this thing where I like to mess with people's minds.

Don't believe me? Remember the whole Tiger episode from July?

All me.

Remember the Peach Days entry from September, when AWM thought she pawned him off of me?

All me.

Remember that time when AWM thought she was free of him for a few months? Then she found him, the same place as the month before?

All me.

I've warned you...

Winter Coat Blues

Guess what I found in my inside pocket of my winter coat!!!

Are ya guessing???

Are ya???

Huh????


I can't hear you guessing!!!!




Did you guess a $20????

Well if you did....

you were wrong.

It was....

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!!


SPONGEBOB!!!!


Same pocket as before. Similar situation with me standing and wearing the coat for quite some time and not even noticing until a lot later.....and feeling weird about it because, quite frankly...I don't know how he got there.

Last I knew he was at JTW2 and LSW's house....

Somebody's got some 'splaning to do....

A Shoe in...

Written by LSW

LRW likes to play with the shoes at our front door and more often than not, there’s always a big mess afterwards.  We had invited everyone over to our house to celebrate JTW3’s birthday (now 6).  We love having everyone over and of course the children look forward to it as well.  We never think SpongeBob will come to us when we’re with everyone because we’re so involved with being together but Bob seems to have other ideas.

So, LRW was playing with the shoes the following day as we were getting JTW3 ready to go to school and she found him in/under our shoe rack.  JTW3 was pretty excited because he now understands what it means to be sponged. LEW made the comment that she knew about it but that CWJ had told her that she was not to say anything.  Hmmm… not sure I believe that but oh well.  We’ve been sponged and the saga continues!

It was a dark and rainy night....:)

So we were hit again! It was Thanksgiving evening. We were preparing to leave CW and JTW's home. We put TWJ in his jacket and were just about to place him in his car seat when we spotted the little yellow figure sitting pretty in TWJs spot. We dropped him in the diaper bag where he remained, reminding us of his presence every time we opened the bag. However no real opportunity arose to pass the little creepy toy on, until the invitation to celebrate a special day was presented. Spongebob has been passed on. ;)
