'Fess Up Friday - A bunch of randomness

For this week's 'Fess up Friday, I bring to you random scenes from around the Curl home...

Have I shared with you how ob. sessed. my kids are with their blankets? It's a little disturbing, and perhaps I should put the kibosh on such dependency, but then again, there are bigger battles I am attempting to fight these days.

You know... like a four year old that still sucks her thumb or trying to get the boy to eat something besides cheese and bread.

The "big" kids are fond of sleeping beneath "the shroud".
Here's Sassy. Yes, believe it or not, there is a child swaddled up in there!


Mr. Jenkins fell asleep with just his feetsies sticking out. 

You may remember that Sassy and Jenkie are now sharing a room. I went in to check on them one night and found them like this...
I found their sprawled positions rather humorous.

Note, the blankets are very much in play here. In fact, you can clearly see Sassy's "kitty nest."

What? You didn't know that kitties slept in nests? (Or Nest-es-ses as Sassy pronounces it).

For your future reference, a kitty nest, (or nest-es-ses if you prefer), is comprised of one filthy well-loved blanket spread out on the bed. You then lie upon this blanket whilst another equally nasty loved blanket is placed over you.

This afternoon, I found that Jenkie had reclaimed a storgage bin for a "nest-es-ses" of his own.


Oh wait... what's that I see... Oh yes, it's the blanket.

Yes, yes. The blanket ... perhaps the last blanket in the world of its kind. I do not know what I shall do if this beloved blankie is ever lost, for I cannot find another... not even on the internets.

Moving on to other recent sights...

My kids went fishing.

In our back yard.

What, you didn't know we had a pond?

We don't.
Yup.

Fishin' in the dirt, in our redneck back yard with piles of discarded wood and demolition refuse.

You know...because I am a responsible parent who is highly concerned about the safety of my children.

The deck project is in fact nearly completed now. I am happy to report that my children survived it despite my apparent lack of care in letting them play outside in the midst of the construction insanity.

Here is Sassy playing "kitty" on the new deck that my studly hubby built.
What? Didn't you know that kitties wore shoes on all their "paws"

I'm not quite sure how this one fell asleep without a kitty nest-es-ses.

And bless this kitty's wee heart. He has lost a shoe paw.

I think I have shared this picture in a previous post.
I mean seriously. The little dude is sitting in my coffee table drawer picking his nose. We won't discuss the other child in the distance sitting in an empty diaper box. 

Anywho... I think Jenkie is having an influence on the youngest member of the family.
And Sassy doesn't even need the drawer for her "magic seat" as she calls it.

I find strange things in our house from time to time. 

Often times, some sort of footwear is involved.


We've got a monkey down! I repeat, a monkey down.

Lastly, I'll leave you with the outfit of the week, courtesy of Sassy Curl!

And yes, she wore this out in public today, because I was running too late to have her go back and change.

I guess I should be grateful that she wasn't wearing her "triple tutu" get-up.

  1. Heeheeeeeeeeee Your kids totally crack me up. We have many a blanket being drug around this house too. Ours are not cute and child-sized though, they are full-sized down comforter blanket behemoths that leave a trail of feathers wherever they go.

    Your comment tonight was SO sweet and totally made my day. Thanks for understanding that I'm just in a blogging funk as of late. I'll let you know when I get my linky tool up and going.

    'Fess on!!!
