The Hubby Meme

Ms. DiaperDiaries tagged me again for this Hubby Meme. Enjoy!

How long did you date? We dated for 3 years.

How old is he? 27, and a whole 2ish weeks younger than I am.

Who eats more? I HOPE he does, because if I do, that's pretty embarrassing.

Who said “I love you” first? He did :)

Who is taller? Him, by about a foot. Ok, not quite a foot, but close.

Who sings better? Uh, I asked him this question, and he REFUSED to answer me. So, either he thinks he does and doesn't want to hurt my feelings, or he is afraid of what it might do to my ego if he says I sing better. So. We are leaving this one unanswered :)

Who is smarter? Uh, DUH!

Whose temper is worse? I plead the fifth.....

Who does the laundry? I do most of the time.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? K, if you are standing at the foot of the bed, I sleep on the right. If you are laying in the bed on your back, Lance sleeps on the right. If you are laying in the bed on your stomach, I sleep on the right. Clear as mud?

Who pays the bills? Bills? We have bills?

Who cooks dinner? I do most of the time, but he can hold his own in there.

Who drives when you are together? He does, although I tell him what to do :)

Who is more stubborn? He is.

Who kissed who first? He ASKED me if he could kiss me, so I would say he did, but with permission.

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? I am.

Whose parents do you see the most? I would say it is really equal. Helps that they live within a 1/2 mile of each other. But, I go on vacation with his family the most (yep, without him).

Who proposed? He did, at sunset, overlooking the Grand Canyon...Awwwww.

Who is more sensitive? I am.

Who has more friends? Uh, do bloggyland friends count? Even so, then I would STILL say him.

Who has more siblings? He does, four to two.

Who wears the pants in the family? He does, but I DO have a rockin pair of jeans.

I hereby tag whomever wants to do this one...mostly because if I tag any more family and friends, they might disown me...

Butterflies...

Kristen over at We Are THAT Family distributed this lovely award to her commenters for a truly inspired post. She captured some of the reasons why so many Mamas blog. Perspective, sense of community, new relationships, renewed compassion...I could go on and on.



I know many of my family and friends wonder why I spend time blogging and emailing people that I've never really met, you know, in real life. It's my little thing I guess. I can't put my finger down on what drives me to blog.

A close friend said to me yesterday, "WHERE do you find the time to do that?!". I don't find the time, I MAKE time. Most Mamas that I know have a very real sense of time. We are the queens of efficiency, the masters of multi-tasking, the enforcers of order in the midst of chaos.

What do you do with your time? It is a precious commodity. Are you needlessly wasting it?

Favorite Find Friday: Franklin School Bus

We have a VERY popular toy around our house. I bought it at a garage sale last summer for $2.00, then took it home and cloroxed the snot out of it. It's been used nonstop since Bubbalu turned eleven months old.

Now presenting....the Franklin School bus :

On the dash are buttons in the shape of Franklin's friends who profess their love of school and learning.

"I want to learn about shapes."

"School time in FUN TIME.

...and my personal favorite:

"I love lunchtime!"

Amen little Franklin friend. Lunchtime was MY favorite part of school as well. Who cares about colors and shapes? Give me the FOOD.

Our Franklin School Bus has seen better days. My Bubbalu has an affinity for sticker peeling, and Franklin is looking naked in some areas, as evidenced by this picture :



Actually, that picture isn't too bad. Since it was taken last week he has removed 3 more stickers from the opposite side.

There is one button that plays the 'Wheels On the Bus' song. If you don't know that song, just wait until you have a kid. You'll know all 37 verses by heart. Really, I'm not kidding.

STILL need to hear it? Click Here.

The song button is Bubbalu's favorite one.

Sometimes, our Franklin School Bus gets LOST. Yep, LOST. We can't find him for HOURS at a time. It is a tragedy. We do manage to find other things to play with, but when we finally "find" the missing Franklin School Bus, happiness and smiles abound.

At least from one of us, that is.
