The joy…or lack there of… of STRING CHEESE

I consider myself a reasonable person, people that know me,… would probably venture to say that I am pretty easy going…and those that are real near and dear would say that I am a happy-go-lucky type of girl..?

 I love Cheeses… my body and (excuse me) bowels may not love it… but I LOVE it… all kinds feta, extra sharp cheddar, Goat, Brie, Blue Cheese, the expensive kind my mom buys from Caputos,  when I get to heaven I will be sitting there… with Ryan to my left… Croix to my right… and we will all be atop a mound of varying cheeses….i am an even kill chick that loves to indulge in these decadent little heavenly morsels, Then why.. may I ask of you… do I get so worked up over this little modern marveling piece of blasphemy!!!

 String Cheese… as you are walking through the store, usually it is in and out and you only zone in on the things you need…. Not often do you actually take in all that your local grocer has to offer. However sometimes… you eye catches that sparkling little wrapper encasing the string cheese... something inside of you goes off... like you are a child again and you have just seen a box of play dough… or better yet STRING CHEESE. Or maybe you get all worked up because it is a mini snack… I don’t know about you.. but when ever there is something mini I have to have it…I could open up a store with nothing but mini things in it.. And i would do millions annually (no one take my idea… I promise ill give you 10% off!!!) Don’t act like you would frequent The Magical Marvel of all things MINI superstore coming near you… (I digress) But the String Cheese.. I don’t know why I always find myself pulling at the cheese… it could be the mini and it could be the childhood memories... it could be that they are always 2 for a dollar and who doesn’t love a bargin?  But the ultimate let down that this stringy cheese brings on, is enough to steer me clear of using my hard earned money on this dairy disappointment!! I have been thinking and thanking and I think that I have it!!!

 IF IT IS CALLED STRING CHEESE… IT SHOULD BE STRINGY!!!

 You have to work so hard to get it to come off and if you do get it off… half the time it is have the cheesy log, why when I think of string cheese does my mind go right to pull-n-peels.. that is what string cheese should be like tiny little even sizes cheese delights that are there for you and not frustrating because you can never divide the string cheese like you should….and why should I have to finish my snack feeling less then satisfied because this pasteurized dairy problem child cant live up to its name sake??

 I vote that if Obama can’t do anything else that he promised I think that the LEAST that he owes the American people is to CHANGE this wrongfully appointed stingless stringy cheese! 

Croix is two big fat months old!!!!!

Croix is ONE month old....

Oh the things that this little nugget does!!!!   Croix is a little over a month so we thought that we would post some of his favorite things that he is doing so far...

He loves loves his baths.... he used to freak out at first but now he loves the shix out of them.... he always tells me.. mom please give me a bath i love it in there... at least that is what my brain translates his piercing screams to be!! and in this photo he loves to stare at himself in the mirror.. narcissist... he takes after his dad! HAi tried to make him a soap mohawk.. it is one of my favorite past times so i though maybe it would be one of his as well.... i am pretty sure everyone has made them selves one... and i challenge you... tonight... actually right after reading this.. i want you to go and turn the shower on... and make yourself a mohawk .... maybe two if your hair allows... then come back and look at the rest of these photos... dont forget to tell me what you made!
Croix: I HEART MY BOUNCER CHAIR!!!

Mom: Why?

Croix: well because mom... there are all of these fun animals on it... and it is helping me get my groove thing on... and it is also helping me learn to shake my money maker at a very young age... and above all else... it helps me push the farts out when i just cant manage by myself....

Mom: oh is that why you poop every time you are in there??

Croix: Yes mom... and in fact you can go ahead and stay home and not go back to work... cause as soon as i discover my hands.. i am going to invent bouncing, vibrating toilets so that everyone in the world can discover the joy and carefree feeling of an effortless poop!!!

Mom: You are a good son... already thinking of others.... IM SO PROUD (tear)

These booties.... i love these... no his feet are not that big yet... but they have that tie... that i can tie tight enough to make them stay on his little legs.... THANK YOU CHRIS for making those for him...!!!

p.s. i swear he doesn't have worms, illistrated by the photo below... he just really really likes his food... and he has a popbelly just like his mama!!!and the next thing i will do smithers... TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!
This is Croix hanging out with his best pal jack... he loves to relax and watch tv with the jacko!
he is really just the most delicious baby on the planet... could you just eat his little face...???
Ok now this photo is truly unique in the fact that this is him ROLLING over for the FIRST time!!!! he was on his belly one min and on his back the second....!!! i couldn't believe it!!! one month and rolling over... i dont care what anyone says i am POSITIVE he is GENUS!!!
Once you get over how smart he is.... please dont judge him by his seemingly freakishly long fingers... it is just the camera.... however i need to take a moment and thank God for the money saving sweater that he provided my son with at birth... it is going to save a lot of money for us for years to come!!!!

look what i made!!!
