Gettin Thunderstruck

After almost a whole season of basketball games, I realized on Tues. that I have never even so much as thought about bringing my camera. I decided it was time for a change and we needed to capture at least one game of this momentous season.

Kobe (Booo) :

Sneaky, Sneaky

I ran out of peanut butter the other day, so I ran to the store to grab more. It is a staple at our house and is necessary for survival. When I got home I noticed something "interesting" about the jar. Side by side you can't tell a difference. The price was even the exact same as the last time I bought a jar. But wait, what is that you see?..... Ahh, the bottom of the jar has been changed from being flat to concave.

What does this mean you may ask? I wondered the same thing. So, I checked the fine print.....yep, you guessed it, less peanut butter for the same price. It went from 18.5oz to 16 oz. I am outraged and this sucks! If you are going to do this, at least man up and make it obvious. Or even still, be like others and just raise the price. I understand the times, that some things just have to be changed, but don't be all deceiving about it!

To help celebrate Presidents Day, Ethan made this cute little Lincoln mask at school. I just had to get a pic.

25 Randoms

I posted this on facebook because I was tagged, bu thought I would put it on my blog too. Not everyone who reads this is friends with me on fb so I thought I would share....plus it gives me a reason to post on my blog. Ok so here it goes: I am to list 25 random things about me. Enjoy!

25. I have yet to find a food too spicy for me. My rule is if it doesn't make you sweat, it is not hot enough.

Make that order with the plastic on the side, please.

I had quite the scare a couple days ago and felt the need to share this with all of you. I was eating dinner with the fam at a local restaurant. (This restaurant will remain anonymous b/c I do not want to hurt business. It is a good place and I still plan on eating here.) Anyhoo, we were all stuffing our faces as usual when Ethan took a bite and had a concerned look on his face. He just kinda sat there with his mouth partially open and made a few odd mumble sounds. I immediately thought his food must be too spicy( a common theme). This boy can not even handle the littlest of spices. I told him to go ahead and just spit it out onto his plate and chug the lemonade. To my complete shock when he spit out his bite, a piece of clear plastic the size of a penny came out too. I was so thankful he didn't try to swallow this thing or cut his mouth up. This chunk was huge and had sharp edges! I feel so lucky! For all of you wondering, we did not get free meals for life. I hate confrontation as it is, but obviously I HAD to bring this to their attention. I did so without trying to make too big of a scene. They offered to make Ethan a new item and compensate us. We did not have them make his anymore food but they did take care of us. I guess it could have been worse. Chew slowly!
