Roughing It

My kids create "campsites" in our backyard. I need to buy a campout cookbook so I am not left eating alligators every time.

It is Talk Like A Pirate Day and we are ready for it over here.  The chosen jokes we are spreading today:

Q: Why did the pirate sit on the toilet for so long?
 A: Because he had the ships!

Q: How long is a ship's plank?
A: A yarrrrrd!

Here is my pirate family: 

Our RV

Pilot & Co-Pilot

The kids crawled in our bed after waking up.

Asleep on the way home.

Maybe?

Why does This article appeal so much?

Two Left

It is all we can think about around here. Two more days of waiting...

I *heart* Wal-Mart RV sections.

Saw this on the road.  I think we should tow this behind our RV for guests.

Yam Fries

I was in the mood for more fat in my diet so I made yam fries. Verry yummy.

Slice yams thinly.

Fry in oil.

Drain on paper towels & sprinkle w/ salt and pepper.

Now eat!

Costume #1 & #2

Where are all the wetsuits?  That is a question I ask myself all the time at thrift stores in our area.  Well, the other day I found out.  They are amongst all of the Halloween costumes.  I guess everyone wants to be a surfer for Halloween.  I scooped up two wetsuits for my kids and was proud of myself for nabbing the Spiderman costume and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume (both at $5/each).  It never is good enough.  Here is a picture of my child in his Spiderman costume trying on his robot costume he "had to have" that we made out of a box, tin foil, and printed out dials.  After all of this, he says he wants to be an astronaut for Halloween.  Good God, how many costumes will be under my belt before the big day?
