So, while in the basement the other day, I found something thats Awesome  cool  funny... Let's just say, "blog material".  I'm planning on bloging it, as soon as I get some pictures...

For now, I just used a Facebook app to find my top 10 status updates of 2011... Since I don't blog and Facebook the same stories, these might be new to some of you... Enjoy :)

During a frustrating car ride, Mom may or may not have used the word 'stupid'. (Not at a person..I think she called the bead kit that people were fighting over 'stupid'...)
Gage: mom!! Say sorry!

Mom: Sorry, Gage...

Gage: Its ok, its just that... You said the 'S word'.

They were playing 'risk'. If you've never heard of that game, the point of it is to take over the world. By rolling dice and challenging the other players armies. Which aren't armies at all, just little peices of coloured plastic.

I think the game is pointless, because people don't really win wars by rolling a six when the other person gets a three.. But anyway.

My dad had quite a strong army in the Congo, and a pretty small army in Mongolia. My cousin, naturally, decided to take on Mongolia.

"Whaat? You're challenging Mongolia?! GOOD LUCK! Mongolia is going to KILL your army!"

"Dad, Mongolia's not in Africa. You only have one army in Mongolia."

...

**I have a feeling that sometimes people don't read to the bottom, because the first bit is sometimes boring... Trust me, I'm just giving the back up so you can 'get' it... Read to the bottom :) **

Dad looks down at his plate of stew, "So what, am I on a hunger strike or something?"

Mom: Would you like some more?

Sloan: ONE TIME!! Wendy told Bob he should go on a diet... And then Mrs. potts was like, "Mayor, you should go on a diet too!" and then they were like, 'nooo' but then they did go on a diet.

Mom: What?

Sloan: It's on Bob the Builder.

Mom: oh. Are Bob and Wendy married?

Sloan: Nope, they're just boyfriend and girlfriend. They live across the street from each other and yell 'good night' out the window.

mom: Really?

Peyton: Yup! And sometimes they have sleepovers!

Me, Dad, Mom and Sloan: Uhhhhmmm...

Peyton: What? you've never seen that episode?

This weekend, our youth group from chruch is going sledding... Unfortunately, I cannot go with them... But, it reminded me of a story that happened last year when everyone went sledding.
Sloan was at the hill, and a small person dressed in many layers (It was about -4zillion that night...) comes up to Sloan...

Person: Hey, is that a plasma sled?

Sloan: Yeah, it is!

Person: Cool! My best friend has one of those!

Sloan: Oh, really? That's awesome...

Person: Wait, SLOAN?!

Sloan: KAYLA?!

Person who we now know is Kayla: Um, you're the 'friend'.

Mom: your breath smells wonky?

Me: What? Oh, that... See, Peyton asked me how I could possibly say 'no' to her little face, so I made a list...

Mom: Well, out of all the people in our family, Sloan is one of the few that does NOT have wonky breath. Lots of people do, but Sloan doesn't.
(not naming names, *cough charter cough*... but some people in our family *do* have really wonky breath.)

Me: Mom, I said Peyton, not Sloan.

Mom: Oh. Well in that case... Never mind then...

As promised.... my little craft :)

Me and Gage went on an outing on Monday... It was pretty chilly out, so we bundled up in our boots, mittens, hats, sweaters, jackets... and went out for hot chocolate... (Actually, when we got there, he decided he wanted milk instead, so we had peppermint steamers...)

Then we decided to go to the dollar store, since mom had asked us to pick up some nail polish for the girls... (and some suckers.)

We walked in, and I saw these little canvasses... I had almost forgotten about the little craft I had seen online, but when I saw these, I knew I needed to go home and do a craft. (Not to mention they were only 50c each :)

So, I called the boys into my room and made them take off their socks.

Ephraim's tiny toes... He liked the paint so much... his got a little smudged cause he wouldn't stop wiggling!

Gage's... his feet are too big so we only did one :)

Seriously. How cute? Gage swore that I would never put paint on his feet. "Cause how I get it off and then I walk and get it on the floor. You can't do that."

But when he saw how cute Ephraim's were, he changed his mind.
