This Holly’s Animated Life episode originally aired on April 9, 2008 and was the second adventure Holly animated. It has been digitally re-mastered and edited to NOT include Holly’s kitchen counter, photo of her finger and real life breakfast food stains.
Welcome to Kids Activities!
My name is Holly Homer & I am the Dallas mom of three boys…
So funny!! I think I’ve been there a time or two….I’d have to add some muddy dog footprints or something too! 🙂
I’m rolling over the color combinations.
Seriously, brills.
This made me laugh the second time around too, probably because the exact sort of scenario has happened to me!
I love your disclaimer– especially the “photo of my finger” part.
Reminds me of those disclaimers at the beginning of movies where they say it has been edited for content and to fit your screen (perhaps your finger was too big for the shot).
This is way better than a brick & mortar esatbislhemnt.

I’m impressed by Blog Stedman’s 6th sense to know when to leave the area. He could start his own psychic hotline.
Goes to show that no matter how wrong things, parents are always to the rescue!
hahaha Funny post. Well written
Oh jeezy creezy that is hilarious.
Oh my Lord, that is too funny. My husband MUST see this.
So glad you cleared that up at the end. I think this is about where I came in (one of may times I dropped in and out over the years), and I was having the weirdest sense of deja vu. I’d have attributed it to motherhood, but I only have two, and they’re eight years apart. I should draw my own “animation” one of these days. ::wicked grin:: Wonder what they’d pay me, now, NOT to?
