Do You Ever Feel Like This?

On our walk this evening I was just talking...well, let's be honest, it was more like complaining. With me it's always something. If something is too blue you'll hear about it, if you change it to green it'll be too green and I'll miss the blue. We were just joking around about how I go on and on with out really realizing it and Seth said, "do you remember Charlie Brown?" I immediately remembered how the adults in that show sound and started laughing. I don't think anyone has captured the true sound of adults before. Here's a video clip for your enjoyment!

Pessimistically Optimistic

Seth and I were having a funny conversation yesterday. We were talking about how when were are telling someone how much longer we will be I always say a little longer than I think I will be and he always says shorter. When discussing why we do this he explained that he gives a shorter time frame so who ever he is talking to gets excited that he will be there so soon...even though I told him when he does that to me I get frustrated because he's never there when he says he will be When I explained why I say longer it's because I like to be there earlier and have the person/people get excited that i didn't take so long even if at first they were frustrated because they thought it would take longer. (Have I lost you yet?) So we decided that he is Optimistically Pessimistic and I am pessimistically optimistic.
Just to give some examples to help you see where I am coming from...I see an old woman, not the young beautiful one. Wouldn't you want to be and old, wise woman, how had lived her life anyway.

Do you see two faces? No, I see a vase. Why because vases get dusty. Wow, that sounds pessimistic, no, it's not. I love to clean.

Now look at this one. Many see a man in his boat, but i see a bird eatting a man. How sad you say. She is SO pessimistic. No, how nice that the bird got something to eat and is no longer hungry.

Do you see what I mean. It's all about how you look at things! Pessimistically optimistic. That's me!

My Little Ar-Tist

Sam descovered painting today. You've gotta love how exciting watercolor painting can be for a youngster (or for that matter, someone like me). We had a great morning painting in our jammies. His fishy was his first masterpiece and it now hangs proudly on the fridge...in stages. It has to come down at times, as he wants to carry it around the house and admire his work. These truly are the most favorite moments in life.

Hannah

I had no excuse to go, no one young enough to go with as a cover, but I don't care. I went because I wanted to...and I loved it. My niece (a freshman in college) and I went to see Hannah Montana and had a great time. It had a cute story, fun actors, and great music. We came out singing and dancing. I have to learn the Hoedown Throwdown now. (See side bar for the music, to hear it you'll need to stop the music at the bottom of my blog first) It was an awesome dance...the new electric slide! I recommend it to all women who are young rock stars at heart.

My grass on Amy's Blog

I had to laugh out loud when I saw that my grass made Amy's blog! I have to admit it's pretty drastic, but I never thought that I would see it on "an out of state" blog! Our neighbors must hate us!
...by the way, our grass is this green because it was just newly replaced by Seth's company as part of an experimental underground watering system. I'd say it's working pretty well.

Easter in Bear Lake

We had such a fun Easter with Tressa in Bear Lake. We love going this time of year because NO ONE is around, except for the deer. We stayed in our jammies all weekend, watched movies, played games, ate junk food, oh, and I think a little bit of homework and projects were done!
It was especially fun to see Sam get into the Easter Egg Hunt this year. He got the idea really quick, and we learned even faster not to touch "his" eggs.
