Mad Libs!!

Remember those?  If not, they are stories that leave words blank and you have someone fill in the blanks only by giving you a word.  For instance, the blanks tell me what I need to fill it in i.e.  noun, verb, adjective, number etc.

So anyway this weekend at my mom’s we found some mad libs from when all of us were younger and I did them with Shealyn and Carter.  I’ll capitalize the words they filled in with.  They were quite comical and of course the kids found them VERY FUN!!

This is Shealyn’s

SNOW WHITE

This is the story of Snow White and the Seven SNOWMEN.  Once there was a/an GREEN old queen who asked her CHAIR who was the fairest BAYLEIGH J. of them all.  It said, “Snow White.”  This made the queen so RED she gave Snow White a poisoned WATERMELON, and Snow White fell ill in the forest.  But, she was rescued and cured by seven little old BALLS who worked in a/an LANEY mine.  Snow White took care of the dwarves’ cottage and also cooked ORANGES for them for 10,000 years.  Then a handsome prince named DENNIS THE MENACE came riding along on his DOG and saw Snow White and fell head over NOSE in love with her.  He married her at once and took her to live in his HOSPITAL.  So Snow White became a princess, and the wicked queen got so STRIPED she disappeared in a puff of FUEL.

Carter’s story

AN EXCUSE LETTER

(you have just written an excuse for a Junior High School student who has been absent)

Dear Mr. CLARK,

I hope you will excuse KIM for being absent from your PURPLE COUNTING class.  I know she has been absent 500 times, but she had to stay home to help her father build a/an TREE.  She also had a dreadful cold in her BALL, and her nose was JOGGING.  She still would have made it if she hadn’t caught her BUTT CHEEK in the ROBOT.  And then, her alarm clock broke and wouldn’t RUN.  You are her most BIG teacher, and I hope you will not WALK her or give her a failing GORILLA.

Best Shot Monday

The kids and I were at my mom’s over the weekend while Clark is in Texas.  Mom watched the kids for me so I could finish up my Christmas shopping and I happened to snap this picture of my niece Bayleigh (my sister’s daughter)  We had over 6 inches dumped on us Saturday night into Sunday morning.  So she was standing at the window watching her mommy use the snow blower and my kids were “helping” shovel.  She wanted to go out so badly, but #1 she WILL NOT leave her mittens on—brrrrrr and #2 all the snow is hard for little legs to get around in.

Here’s a picture of her from the front.  She loves snow so being the great aunt ) that I am I went and got her a bowl of snow only to be met with tears b/c she didn’t want to eat it at the table.
