7QT: Valentines, Skinny Jeans, and PHILosophies

It's Friday!!  Joining Kelly and the better Quick-Takers...

1)

The kids get to celebrate Valentine's Day at school today by dressing down (no uniforms) and having class parties with tons of treats.  Last time they had class parties for Christmas, some of them overdid their sweets quotient and came home feeling very sick.  Today they were reminded about the importance of moderation and making healthy choices, but we shall see what they choose to do with that info!  It's tough being a kid in a candy shop!

That's a girl sandwich.

2)

I told you about the pants that make you slimmer, now here's some awesome jeans I found that do the same.

Once again, they are from Kohls, and once again, if Kohl's wants to pay me to keep sponsoring them for free, I won't say no.  Here they are.

3)

And now some PHILosophies for ya...

Upon finding out two of our priest friends watch Downton Abbey:

I watch it because I have a wife.  Sooooo, what's your excuse?

After he came back from running some errands:

Me: Did you return all those clothes to Old Navy?

Him: Yup.

Me: Was it embarrassing? (I HATE returning clothes)

Him: Nope, I just told them that my wife loves to shop online and then REALLY loves to have me return it all to the store.

AND my favorite...

On his frustrations with phase 2 of Natural Family Planning:

I could teach an NFP course in one sentence.  "When your wife wants to...don't, and when she doesn't...do."

4)

Just because these peewee basketball players are so darn cute!

5)

There is a Mexican restaurant near us that has these signs outside their bathroom doors.  I had to take a picture because I couldn't believe my eyes!

He's not so bad, just a man relieving himself in the desert.  But look at her...

What???  Is she sitting on a cactus?  ¡Ay, caramba!

6)

Declan is like a real troublemaker now.  Still sweet, but getting into everything and we love it!!  

Babies = Boring but Toddlers = Terrific!

7)

Last but not least, my poor sick little Xander is finally all better.  He was home from school for 3 days with a cough and fever and needed albuterol treatments because his oxygen levels were so low.  But he's a champ and back to his normal self!  

"Why do I always have to breathe the smoke?"

"Mom and Dad have belly buttons!  That's a potty word."

Have a wonderful, love-filled Valentine's weekend.  We'll be getting another huge snow storm, as usual!
