Avon calling!

Well it is officially summer around here! I do not like the heat, I would rather have it be too cold than too hot, so summers usually find me hiding in whatever space offers air conditioning! I do still try to make it to parks and any other place Mr. T would maybe even just a little bit like, but I would prefer to hibernate inside until the cooler days of fall return! Nothing like starting the post off with a lot of complaining, right! Anyway, lets get to some of the fun things we have done lately.

We, me and Mr. T, hang out with other kids and there parents a lot throughout the week. So much so that my wonderful hubby thinks that is the only thing I do during the week and I think he is contemplating telling me it is time to get a job! I try to explain to him this is part of my current job, to make sure Mr. T gets enough interaction with other kids so he can have the social skills to survive life after mom and dad. He thinks it's me and a bunch of my friends who happen to have kids of there own just sitting around drinking tea and gossiping all day while we let the kids fend for themselves. OK so that's mostly true, except we make sure the kids are fed, usually on a timely basis. So he thinks it's all play while he is off working to put that tea in my hand while I sit around chit chatting with my friends. I think he underestimates the clean state the house is usually in, the clean dishes that you find in the dishwasher, the crumb free floor, and the toys that have to be relocated at least once a day back to the bedroom! I have tried to tell him the rest of my job description but he gets hung up on the going out with my friends every day of the week while he has to do some real work! So I got a job. I now sell Avon! That's right my peeps, I can call you my peeps right?, I am now an Avon lady! If anyone is interested you can go to youravon.com/sfurlo to order from my online store. We have some amazing deals so check it out!

So back to the fun, we went to the Maple Syrup Festival at the end of April. They had a carnival so we were going to let the kids ride some rides. They had to be 36" tall, Brogan is 32" tall. They were very precise. Mr. T  got to ride the carasel 9 times. He LOVED it! They wouldn't even let him go down the huge slide they had. A freaken slide! His little buddy is like 35.5" tall so he lucked out and actually got to ride some rides. Then we played the get the ping pong ball in the fish bowl and win a goldfish game, and won a goldfish. Bet you didn't see that one coming did you? Mr. T picked 3 duckies and won a sword bigger than he is, it's inflatable, like I would ever let him have a real sword that big, in public. He also won a big ball by beating his friend in the water gun race. Go MT! ( Mr. T ever shorter). I think I am going to use that from now on! Why didn't I think of it before? Genius I tell you! Not before, now, before was too long, nows better, better late then never right?

Another day we went down to a lake. MT tried to drown himself like 3 times because he doesn't like to stay in the shallow part. Finally I gave up and dragged him out of the water. It was interesting at the lake, we had two toddlers with us (the other one was MT's girl friend/future wife) and we had one little fish stalking us. We could stick our fingers in the water a pet him and if we moved he would follow us, I was starting to wonder if he thought the kids looked tasty! When we were going to leave we found out we missed a dry run for a Zombie Apocalypse at this particular park so we have decided to start training for it in case they have it again next year. As soon as my friend is over the prego bug and I can force myself out in the heat! We figured it would be more fun to answer the what are you training for question, you know;

Reporter: So why have you decided to do something as drastic as train for a five mile run?

Us: Well we see it like this, it's a win win situation. When the Apocalypse does strike we will be ready and sufficiently trained. Will you?

Reporter: What happens if the Apocalypse hits anytime between now and when you have finished your training?

Us: .............Are you working for the Z's? It sounds like you are trying to dissuade us from training. That sounds like the exact thing the Z warlords would do. So why have you decided to betray your own race for the Z's when they will obviously just eat your brains when they are done with you?

Reporter:

Us: That's what we thought. This interview is over. We will not be responsible for helping a traitor get information back to the Z warlords!

Reporter: ...

Us: Don't even think of another interview! We are done, we have nothing else to say!

Reporter: You do realize you called this interview?

Us: Like we were saying, it will be great to see the looks on peoples faces when we say we are training for the Zombie Apocalypse, and it just might motivate some people as well.

Reporter: Good luck with your Zombie training.
