It is Monday. It is Potluck. It is a given. Kids Activities Blog

Goooooooood Moooooooonday Everyone! Yep, your dreams have finally come true and it is again Monday. Yeah for Monday. You know you want to frantically celebrate it. Come on!

Today’s potluck will not feature green or orange lollipops at the request of Kim at Frog Pond Rocks “mmmmm Green lollies (candy).. I don’t like any lollies that are green. I am not fond of orange sweets either but the green ones are just well too green.. *skips away eating red lollies*”

I wholeheartedly endorse skipping but am a bit frightened of skipping while eating a lollie due to the possible danger. So please be careful Kim.

I will say that today’s potluck will be a bit of a sacrifice for me because I truly believe that one of the world’s greatest candies will not be allowed. Yes, the green apple blowpop is banned for today because of Kim. Please be gentle to Kim. She may not have experienced the heaven that is the green apple blowpop in Australia.

Please, please, please let’s be adults and respectful of Kim’s wishes.

I don’t want to walk into the restroom and find you sneaking a green apple blowpop.

Hold it together people!

I interrupt this potluck for an award ceremony:

*beep*
*beep*
*beep*

Before I go on with the awards ceremony, I must bring up a sensitive award issue. I was called out on some one’s blog who will remain nameless but has the name of a feminine color with the addition of a “Y” on the end for giving her an award that she already received. Then someone else who I will refer to as EEPKAY ELIEVINGBAY continued the dog pile. So from now on all my awards are giving with the following disclaimer:

The following disclaimer: I can’t help it if I am not the only person on the Internet that thinks you are cute, smart, original, creative, hot, excellent, good, great, in need of a hug, in need of a bouquet of flowers, in need of a poem, and/or funny. I cannot be held accountable for the actions of others that may or may not have resulted in a duplication of the award in question. Accepting the award is up to you, but once you do accept said award if I hear any crap about said award I am revoking said award because if I gave you said award you deserved said award so deal with said award. Thank you very much.

My friend Madge sent this over. Madge is the reason that I started my blog. I love Madge. So thanks Madge. (hug) *OMG. I seem to be virtually hugging Madge all the time lately.*

I would love to pass this award* on to the following people:
1. To Jen at Cheaper than Therapy who can take a good picture and be funny, very funny.
2. To Christine at Just Another Manic Mommy who always makes me laugh. She is the kinda girl you wish you lived next door to…
3. To Suzie at Up the Hill Backwards who looks at everything a bit different in a funny I-wish-I-had-thought-of-that kinda way.
4. To Rachel at A Southern Fairy Tale who is a fellow Texan. It is because of her that my family is now on a waffle detox diet.
5. To Janet at Planet of Janet. It has come to my attention that we are twins that were ruthlessly separated at birth and brought up in different families. Thank God for the Internet who reunited us in sisterhood bliss. (hugs sis!) *OMG! I am virtually hugging again.*
*all awards given under aforementioned disclaimer*

Good news on the Google front! Googling “crocs stock” and “hannah montana” have edged out “june cleaver nude” for the top referral spots.

Mad Squirrel has requested a laugh. I would like to point her and anyone else in need of one to Mommy Pie’s dream which was the funniest thing I saw all week.

What is up with Holly’s coccyx?

More of the same…

So last week I related how Reid (5) was tormenting his older brother, Ryan (7) by calling him “Captain Crunch”. I was able to stop that so that a peace treaty could be negotiated among the nations of brotherhood. Well…

A few days later Ryan was again upset and calling that “Reid is calling me bad names again!” Normally I just ignore such things, but quite honestly I was curious and needed the entertainment so I investigated this serious war of words. Reid explained that he again was not using bad words. He was calling his brother, “Lunch”. Oh, and occasionally “Captain Lunch”.

That Reid makes me laugh and in a few years I may have him take over the blog.

And now it is time to find out who is Peep of the Week!

In response to last week’s potluck:

Um, I showed up for the potluck this week with “…” I heard that you like them. Where should I put them?
And are there any other guys who showed up at this potluck? Will we be talking baseball at all in between bites of egg rolls and chicken or should I feign expertise on disrupting toddler tantrums?

I responded to him that there would be other men present at the potluck but they were mostly the strong silent type. So for his courage in potluck participation and his continual wit Ron Davison is Peep of the week for the second time. Way to go Ron! Please note the above disclaimer since you now have two of these awards.

*drum roll*
Yes, it is finally time to find out what is in Holly’s fruit bowl:
