We were driving to Bible Study on Tuesday, when Elizabeth (3) burped.  She very politely said, “Excuse You”.

We all laughed a little and told her that when you burp, you say “Excuse ME”, and that you say “You’re Excused” when someone else says “Excuse me”.  Then Reuben said, “She shouldn’t say that until she’s like 19 or a mom”.  We were a little confused as to what he meant, so I said that she should be polite even though she’s young and all of them should be as polite as adults (Elizabeth is very polite and some of her first words were “please”, “thank you”, “I’m sorry” and “excuse me”)!

Then Reuben replied, “But only moms can excuse kids from the table”!  LOL!  I think we needed to confirm that we were talking about the same thing!

Here's our darling Elizabeth in curlers! Jessica put them in, and we had high hopes of curls for Sunday morning, but she wanted them out after about 30 minutes!

 Nicole!  Way to go Nicole!  She got 12 out of 14 right!

So here’s some of my favorite answers, some for their creativity and some for their accuracy!

Photo 1 was the husk of dried Indian Corn – nearly everyone got this one right.

Photo 2 was the top of the head of Esther’s stuffed elephant -  Auntie Lisa guessed that it was a stuffed toy and that was the closest guess!

Photo 3 was meatloaf -  Deborah was the only one to get that right – it was thought to be casserole, a Costco muffin, a breakfast cookie, a ravioli dish, the inside of a pumpkin, and a apple desert!  Great guesses!

Photo 4 was peanut butter – everyone got that right, but I especially like Gwendi’s answer – ” Peanut butter jar – almost empty – add to shopping list “  LOL!

Photo 5 was a leaf from our Thansgiving centerpiece –   Leslie was so accurate “Thanksgiving decorations-fabric leaf ”

Photo 6 was a bath scrunchy -  everyone got this one right as well – nut again Gwendie’s guess was so sweet”Bath puff – scrubby thing (Ruth, make time for those long soaks in the tub – you deserve it!) ” – I do try!

Photo 7 was a sock on a counter (and yes, Gwendie, it was a clean sock on the bathroom counter! LOL) Both Roxy and Gwendie got that one correct!

Photo 8 was mustard on a hotdog bun -  Nicole was so accurate with “hotdog bun with a line of musterd (yum!) ”

Photo 9 was dried Indian Corn – almost everyone got that one right! I liked Traci’s answer – “dark indian corn”

Photo 10 was ” Jessica’s purse from Berlin” as Nicole got so right – but Roxy also new it was something from Berlin, and Auntie Lisa knew it was from Germany!

Photo 11 was dog food

Photo 12 was a vacuum hose -  Kim was the only one to guess that one!

Photo 13 was Esther’s little backpack for her feeding tube pump – Deborah was the closest with “suitcase”

And photo 14 was Esther’s eye -  Gwendie was the most accurate guess – “Ester’s baby-sweet eyelashes (right eye) ”

And the prize???  A bage of Lind Chocolates – Nicole do you prefer light, dark or white chocolates?  Or do you want a mixed bag?  Yum!!!

Ans lastly – no one guessed correctly as to the mystery photographer – no it wasn’t Rueben (although he got two votes) or Rebekah….it was Jessica!  The next morning after I posted the contest  Jessica came in and I asked her who had taken the photos, and she said she had as she wanted to make a game for people to guess what they were – great minds think alike eh???

thanks for playing ladies!

That was so much fun, I might just have to have another contest!  Would you like that?

So far I’ve got 4 contest entries – and they did very well, although no one has them all correct!  I’ll leave the contest up until Friday, and then I’ll pick a winner over the weekend!

So send me your guesses by posting a comment – I won’t approve the comments for now – but I might list some of the really creative answers when the contest ends!  Maybe there will be honorable mention and runners up too!

Thanks for playing along – it’s nice to do something just for fun, isn’t it!

I find all kinds of random photos – some of which I can’t even identify!  here’s study in using the “really close” setting on our camera – see if you can guess what the photos are of (I think I know all of them, but there’s a few I’m still unsure of!):

Good thing we have a digital camera! Man this would have really ripped through a lot of film!

So here’s a contest – and I’ll even pick a winner (but I’m not sure exactly what the prize will be! If you can correctly guess what these photos are of in a comment on this blog post you’ll win! If there’s more than one person that can get them all right, then I’ll draw a winner – if no one gets them all right, then whoever gets the most right wins!
And here’s a bonus point – if you can guess who took the photos, that earns you an extra 5 points (each photo guessed correctly gets 1 point)

So send me your guesses in a comment to this post, and I’ll pick a winner – and maybe I’ll post some of the most unusual guesses too, just for fun! I’m not even sure who took them all, but I have a really good guess!

but you could feel his smile it was so big!

This was in response to my asking Him if he had fun – after he had spent about an hour doing this:

He had never driven one before and he did great! Our contractor was proud of him – he said he was doing great – not driving it at full speed was good! He took it nice and slow and did some leveling!

Way to go Jonathan!

…over there?

Reuben, our 7 year old is the resident thinker. He gets real quiet, thinking so hard, and then it always begins with a “Soooo…” and out comes this awesome conclusion to all the hard work!

Today, our builder came out to widen our driveway to prepare for the driveway for the heavy equipment that will be frequenting our place as we start to build our new house (yes we are all excited – our 1700 SQ FT mobile home is getting a little tight). And on watching the builder cut down trees and clear out brush, Reuben came to the conclusion that we were going to build our new house right on (or maybe he though next to) the driveway! That would make our UPS, FedEX, and Mailman happy, but no, we are not building there!

He was much relieved when I told him that no, we were not building over there, but in our backyard instead!

When asked if he knew that Zak (he does our snapping for Snap-EZ and Snap-EZ 4 Life) had ridden his bike today, Daniel (age 5) said, “Of course, I heard you ride up…God gave us ears so we can hear.”
