random Friday...

sorry it took me so long 2 recap the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance (like u've been waiting on pins & needles 2 hear my opinion, right?! ~lol~)

well, it came down 2 Brandon & Jeanine - my 2 favorites!!! i really hoped Brandon would win it all, but Jeanine ended up snagging the title...they were both great dancers tho & well deserving!

here's a video from when they announced the winner...1st, u'll see the top 8 (plus the judges come out dancing as a surprise at the end of the routine) performing 1 last routine, then Kat announces the winner...



congrats Jeanine!!!

Ma took this pic of the kiddos while we were at the river last weekend

(the blonde girl & red-headed boy on the ends r a co-worker's kiddos...they met up with Ma & our 4 kiddos at the pool on Saturday)

nah, i don't think they had any fun while we were gone!
;0)

the other day, i came upstairs & noticed that the door 2 Jaden's room was almost all the way closed...i walk in2 his room, 2 see him sitting right up in front of his TV, with his closet door open (it blocks the TV a little when open)...as soon as i come in, he reaches up & changes the channel

i ask, "what were u watching?"

he sighs, puts his head down, & mumbles, "iCarly"

i giggle, realizing he's just embarrassed...iCarly is a show that the girls LOVE, & Jaden thinks it's a total "girl show"

i tell him, "it's ok Bub, u can watch that show if u want to...i promise i won't tell any1" & i give him a wink

he says, "ok, thanks"
he pauses 4 a sec
then, in a fast & frantic tone, he says, "but don't turn it 2 channel 47, because i think i saw a little bit of Ed, Edd n Eddy...i think it's on right now!"

oh. my. goodness.
he totally just got me!

Ed, Edd n Eddy is a show on Cartoon Network that i'm sooo not a fan of! it's about 3 teenage brothers...it's obnoxious, gross & it gets Jaden all hyped up (giggling uncontrollably, stimming left & right...total sensory overload)...it's not necessarily off limits 2 him (cause that will only make him want 2 watch it more), but he's only allowed 2 watch it occasionally - & under the supervision of me or Curtis (so we can make sure nothing too inappropriate it being shown) - usually Curtis since i can't stand the show!

i can't believe he just got me!
he just told a lie - & a GOOD one, at that!

he totally made me think he was being sweet & embarrassed about watching a "girl show"...when he was really just trying 2 cover up the fact that he was hiding something from me!

it made me realize that boy, sometimes his imagination & skill 4 acting is gonna b used against us...that we can't write Jaden off as naive & innocent - not capable of pulling the wool over our eyes...if anything, he may just keep us on our toes more than the girls!

well, that is if he can remember 2 not tell on himself 1st!
~lol~

my garden is pumping out the tomatoes right now!

Corinn & i love our nightly routine of picking all the red ones off the vines & watering the whole garden...we even get a yellow squash now & then

& look, we've even got baby peppers!

we're still waiting on cucumbers too...but we're in no rush...we're having fun!

the only downside? we get eaten up by mosquitoes every nite! & 2day...i have 2 bites on my butt! how the heck did that happen?!
~lol~

-----

we've got a pretty chill weekend planned...driving up to NoVa 2moro, 2 visit my in-laws...hoping 2 have my step-sons in tow as well

there's been some recent drama at their house...so we're not 100% they'll go with...i hope so tho - we really need 2 talk & sort out a few things...oh how i wish they were with us all the time - i know they'd b much better off...but hey, such is life right?!

actually, Corey turns 17 on Sunday...then Curtis Jr will b 18 on Wednesday!

can u believe that?!

they won't b off & on their own just yet tho...Curtis Jr still has 1 more year of school left (& Corey, 2)...& neither has even gotten their driver's license yet! we're working on em tho - trying our best 2 teach em some responsibility & that every decision comes with consequences...it's really hard tho - especially when there's an ex-wife psycho in the mix!

God, please grant me the serenity...

so, what r ur plans 4 the weekend?

whatever they r, stay cool lovelies!
