Funny Stuff

Lots of things make me smile and laugh.  My theory is that if I have a positive attitude and find the humour in things, I'll be healthier physically and emotionally.  I'm sure there's research that points to that...but I can't guarantee it.  :-)  It works for me. 
Here's some funny stuff that happened this past week.
First, I was determined to get a bit of a handle on my work reports.  (yes, sometimes people are surprised to discover that I have another job besides being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.) I was working away and had just hung up after speaking with a case manager who just returned from a month long trip visiting Australia. I then started wondering whether our family would ever go on a long trip. I texted my husband asking if he was eligible to do what I've heard some teachers do, spread 4 years of pay over 5years so he can take a year off. He texted back that he thought he might be eligible for that option why was I asking? I couldn't help it. This is what I texted back:

"Dunno. Just wondered, in case we wanted another baby we could adopt"

By this time the giggles were starting to escape from me. When he texted back with:???? 

I couldn't help it, I was killing myself laughing at home. For the record we have three beautiful children with no plans for anymore. 

I tried to convey in a text that I was joking by typing "lol"

The poor man was so confused. As soon as he saw me after work he asked about my text. I must've really scared the beejeebies out of him. Waaa haaaa haaa!

Here's another funny moment:

8:15 am on the last day of school before march break. I realize in a panic that my sons birthday party is a couple of weeks after march break. Gotta get those invites out today!!!! "Children! Down to the craft cave, gotta make invitations!"

8:44 am. All children dressed and out the door with the youngest son proud to be carrying these invites in his backpack. Put a smile on my face!

Final evening dinner

Remember I talked in a previous post that I was in a ladies bible study group and we had a final night dinner for which I was supposed to make place cards?  I thought I would show you some pictures from the evening.  When I made the invite, I didn't know what the leader wanted but when she saw the card she said it was absolutely perfect because the wanted the coral colour and flowers and butterflies.  Here's what I made as the placecard in the same theme as the invite.  Frankly I was stumped with the placecard idea.  I thought I had one that would work but when I tried to put it on paper it didn't look right at all so instead I decided to make a party favour box and incorporated the name on it so it would double as a place card idea. 

 

 

I love how Darla, the leader put so much care into making the evening special for us.  We had candles, beautiful place settings and pretty decorations.  Everyone was supposed to dress up.  Although I had really wanted to I didn't have time to change because as soon as I came home from work I made the party favour boxes and was big shotting and glueing right down to the final minute when I had to leave. 

It really was a nice evening.
