And a partridge in a pear tree.....

While reading about "The Robbie in Dallas Weekend", I was thinking about how much I love those laugh til you cry moments. In our family we have had many of those moments and even now I can lay in my bed reliving these moments and laugh out loud. Here are just a few of my all time favorite Hambly Family moments:

-The pantyhose over the face incident. So funny. (by the way, when one person does something in our family, everyone else has to do it to. You will have your name chanted until you do, so you might as well get it over with.)

-Grandma Irma doing the partridge in a pear tree and also Grandma Irma with the whoopie cushion and also Grandma Irma with the toilet paper. Damn, I sure miss her...so much good entertainment. We also have to thank her for ham roll ups in our lives.

-The family dinner band.....

-Dad and Uncle Steve telling stories that they can't get through because they are laughing so hard they can't talk.

-The Lord of the Dance christmas talent.

I know there are so many more....but, these stick out to me. Good times.
What are some of yours?

funny joke?

This morning while I was combing Kamdyn's hair she was complaining about being hot. Then, she busted out this joke:
Excuse me sun, you're going to have to be dismissed. You're fired. Get it? Fired?
Well, she thought it was funny anyway....actually, I thought it was a little funny too. Hee hee.

O What a Town

This semi-familiar face was our waiter at Wood Ranch BBQ at The Grove in Los Angeles last night. O-Town may not have lasted, but he was a damn good server. I was wishing Sharalyn and Shannon were with me....

So today I took the girls to McDonalds after school to get an ice cream cone. Actually, I took myself and they just happened to have to go with me. Anyway, while we were there, I noticed two kids sitting alone at a high table. There was a boy and a girl. He was probably 11 at most and she looked about 9. Zoe and Kamdyn both noticed that they were by themselves and that they didn't have a mommy with them. Even I kept looking around for their mom to come join them from the soda fountain or maybe she was getting napkins or something. I immediately felt so sad for them. I personally believe that all kids should have an adult to go home to after school.
After watching them for awhile, I was so touched by the way this brother took care of his sister. He was so sweet to her. They were eating and he asked her if she was done and made sure she didn't throw away her toy from her Happy Meal. I wouldn't have been surprised if he used his own money to buy their food. After they were done eating, he went in and played the video game thing and she played in the play area thing. After awhile they were done and they walked out the door and I watched as they walked down the street.
I really just wanted to pick them up and ask if they wanted to come to my house after school everyday. Then, I figured that would be pretty weird. It was weird anyway that I was dwelling so much on these kids.
As I sat I found myself thinking about their mother and judging her thinking how she could do that. Then I caught myself. I thought I am sure that there is not a night that she doesn't lay in bed wishing that she could be there for her kids after school. I am sure she knows what a great kid she has looking after her daughter everyday. I am positive that she is just doing the best she can with what life has given her. Just like me. I hope she has a great Mothers' Day.
