I don't get SpongeBob

To contact us Click HERE
Norah recently discovered SpongeBob SquarePants, and she digs it a lot. Not to the point of obsession, but she still likes it. So I've been watching with her, mainly because I've been sitting in the same room. I know that a while back, SpongeBob was a bit hit with adults as well as kids (my brother-in-law, as far as I know, still likes it), but I just don't get it. SpongeBob is, in a word, annoying. In two words: REALLY ANNOYING. I mean, it's mildly amusing, but I can't imagine anyone over the age of 10 enjoying it for more than five minutes. After about five minutes I just get sick of it. It's not really that hilarious. I'd like to say that its popularity among older people is due to the fact that they watch while they're, you know, enjoying some natural consciousness-altering substances, but my brother-in-law certainly doesn't do that, so that can't be all of it. Can it?

Can someone explain it to me? I just don't get it. Frankly, Disney's Phineas and Ferb is much, MUCH better thant SpongeBob SquarePants, at least for adults. I think it's better for kids, too, but Norah digs the absorbant, yellow, and porous dude. There's just no accounting for taste!

So I've decided to stop blogging here. I figure five years is a good run. I've just been running out of things to say, I guess. Plus I have some things in the real world that are taking up my time, so I just can't devote as much time to this. I'll still be blogging about my daughters, and I'll still be blogging about comics, but I just don't feel like writing about myself and my thoughts anymore. I'm too busy trying to take over the world!

Thanks for reading, everyone (you know who you are!). I'd tell you to follow me on Facebook, but I hardly ever use it, or on Twitter, but that's even more inane than blogging, so I'll just say thanks. It's been fun.

On the Saturday before Easter we went over to my mom's to have a little Easter egg hunt and celebrate Luke's Birthday.Anthony had to work again, so he missed out. But we still had lots of fun!My mom rented a bouncy house. The kids had so much fun. We had the bouncy house from 9-2pm and the kids jumped on it almost the entire time!

Luke was really unsure about the bounce house. I started jumping to see if he'd like it, but he ended up crying.So I took him out and we played with the balloons. 

My mom just put together this cute wall of all the pictures of our family and also some of the fun things the kids have made her. 
Seeing how cute it all looks together is motivating me to do one of our own. I just never seem to actually get it done.Mom can you come to my house and do one for me??




After awhile Luke wanted to play in the bounce house.I think he saw how much fun the girls were having. 
Then it was time for us to have an Easter egg hunt.My mom hid diet cokes for me to find. Olivia and Grace helped me. Each kid had a color egg to find and 20 eggs each. Luke had to find yellow and also got to find cute little cars. 
Olivia had to find pink. She loved finding the eggs. 
Grace had to find purple. This year I hid them a little harder for her to find. She found most of them but couldn't find 2. Too bad I forgot where the last two were hiding. :) 
My mom's niece Kylie was also over to play. The girls loved playing with her!
Then everyone got a big Easter basket to open!Luke disappeared for a few minutes and I found him with his mouth covered in chocolate! He had found a chocolate candy on the floor. We still don't know what happened to the wrapper. I think he ate it?After that we frantically picked up all the candy on the floor and made sure the big kids didn't let Luke have any candy.We sang happy birthday to Luke and let him try some birthday cake.He was really unsure about it and ended up smearing frosting everywhere. Luke got lots of birthday presents but lost interest after I opened the first one. First birthdays are fun for the mommas because we get to open all of their presents. :) Then the kids got to dye their own Easter eggs. They had a blast and the eggs turned out so pretty.I was so exhausted when I got home I slept for three hours!!

Football Pattern Isn't this just the most sweetest thing for a brand new baby boy ever??? Love it! The pattern is only $4 on Etsy. Too bad I would have no clue how to make it! My Sweet Muffin race car tape My sweet Muffin has this fun race car tape to entertain your little one. Too bad it's $22! I'd rather just use masking tape but still great idea!
My Sweet Muffin Baby Doctor Ok, this is a darling little outfit from My Sweet Muffin for only $29!!!  I actually really want this because my new little man will have a grandpa whose a doctor, a grandma whose a nurse practitioner, and two aunts' that are nurses. I just think this would be darling! Get your craft on Isn't this the cutest hat from Get Your Craft On? I just love it! But it's sold out. Bummer. Board Book from Romp I love this board book from Romp roughly $8. I think it's a great way to either document your child's art or have an older sibling make for a new baby. What a great keepsake? I have a few blank books that Grace has made but I love love love this board book idea!!! Ergo Baby by Petunia Pickle  $160 is way out of my price range for a front pack plus I have a great Baby Bjorn and a Moby Wrap that I use all the time.
