Last week we took a mini vacation.  We headed north to a new indoor water park that opened.  A good time was had by all.




This was taken in the lobby of the hotel on the second day we were there before we headed to the water. 



Here P is kissing the "doggy".  All animals are doggies.



Miss E looking like a diva even at the water park.  I think we are going to change our view on guns so we can keep the boys away.



We spend all this money to go to this really cool water park and what do the children love the most? The wave pool.  Here is Mr C in his wave pool uniform.


N man's sensitive skin took a beating from the rough floors and chlorine.  Here a nice lifeguard is patching him up. 








Here is C at the bottom of one of the slides.




This is how I wash my hands, wash my hands...




I told a friend I didn't think I was brave enough to put any pictures of me on here.  But I don't look like a beached whale so I thought "why not?".  You can see N's toe bleeding.  Poor little man.

I just read this on my friend Donna's blog.  I would have just sent you all over to her blog to read it but it is a private blog. 

No, I am not talking about Mary or Martha.  I am talking about these non biblical ladies.










Martha's Way
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

Maxine's Way
Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it, anyway!

Martha's Way
To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

Maxine's Way
Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix, keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

Martha's Way
When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

Maxine's Way
Go to the bakery! They'll even decorate it for you.

Martha's Way
If you accidentally over salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up."

Maxine's Way
If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad. Please recite with me the real woman's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes!"

Martha's Way
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Maxine's Way
Celery? Never heard of it!

Martha's Way
Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

Maxine's Way
The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I don't.

Martha's Way
Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

Maxine's Way
Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink!

Martha's Way
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Maxine's Way
Go ask that very cute neighbor if he can open it for you.

Martha's Way
Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

Maxine's Way
Leftover wine???????????
HELLO !!!!!!!

I think I have a little bit of both of them in me.  I will let you guess which ones I am like Martha and which ones I am like Maxine.
