Lost Keys...the never ending saga



post signature

Misplacing my keys, purse, phone...well it happens regularaly. However, I usually find them pretty quickly. Not so much this time. Let's just say that it started with Jax playing with my keys and setting off the car alarm Friday night (two different times) - then I tried to put them where he wouldn't get to them again. Now they are no where to be found! Maybe I hid them really good. Or maybe I didn't hide them good enough, Jax got them again and he put them somewhere. Either way, the keys didn't leave my house ... and I didn't realize they were missing until Monday morning when I was ready to leave. I've had a key made for my car now, so I can drive again. I broke into my car with a coat hanger and confirmed they aren't in the car. I'm slowly working my way through the house looking, but nothing yet. And, all my work keys were on there. And only people that work at NWCC can understand what a hassle this part is. I feel as if I might have to get permission from President Obama to get duplicates. Duplicates by definition mean copies of the keys that I already had permission to have. Anyway, I WILL find them at some point. And then I can quit telling this long story to explain to everyone who has to give me permission to get keys, help me look for them, or make new ones from my vin number. Update: Found!! Well...one of my boys realized they took my keys out to the barn thinking they might need them if the TransAm's battery was dead. They didn't need the keys, and I guess forgot all about it. They were laying in a cabinet by the TransAm (in our storage building). The reason it took a week is because I limited myself by bribing ONLY my two year old with "treats" and searching good two year-old hiding places. If I'd only included the 30 year old boy in this investigation and bribing with "treats," I might have found them Monday instead ....

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Jax's 3 1/2 year old birthday party

Image
Yes, we love half birthdays! When you have a birthday too close to Christmas, it is so fun to celebrate a half birthday in the summer. Besides that, Lisa died the day before his birthday. Not an easy time for our family. My mom did this with me too...since I was a December baby..I sometimes had half birthday celebrations instead. Jax was very specific about his requests...he wanted a Rocky party...with Rocky and the Russian fighting on top of the cake. However, there was not enough room for both. Megan Lucius made the cake! I made the cookies...Lightning Bolt cookies..."When you eat lightning..." We had a poster printed up for a game...prizes were awarded based on which person caused the water balloon to break. It started storming in the middle of the party...all the kids came in for ice cream and cake. They watched Toy Story 2.(June 13, 2010)
