| Katy Texas Summer Family Fun
Posted in Family Entertainment by Sarah
April 22, 2009 03:03pm
My mother lives in Katy, Texas (Lone Prairie Way Rd.), and my husband and I are planning our family vacation to visit her this summer. We have 4 children ranging in age from 2 to 12 years, and we are looking for some inexpensive entertainment ideas. I visited your website and saw a listing of swimming facilities in the area, but was wondering if you could help me narrow my search based on certain criteria? We would like to visit a pool that has a neighborhood feel (not like Sea World or Six Flags), has both zero-entry, and diving areas, and some water slides and other fun water activities? Could you make any recommendations?
Any other suggestions for family fun on a small budget (mini-golf, farm, etc.) would be appreciated.
Thank you. View Comments

We hated the movie The Tale of Despereaux. Okay, hate is a strong word, but we thought it was a total waste of money and a horrible story. I think we must have missed something. What was the moral of the story and why did you like or dislike it? View Comments

| Kids Say The Darndest Things

The last one is the funniest thing I have ever read!!!
No adult is this creative!!
JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister.After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"
MELANIE (age5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six ."
STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. "I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."
BRITTANY(age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustra tion, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?"
SUSAN(age 4)was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."
DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"
MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering
in her mouth?"
CLINTON(age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when
I get married. How will my ! wife fit in?"
JAMES(age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"
TAMMY(age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"
The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular Sunday sermon...
"Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust..." He would have continued
but at that moment my very obedient daughter who w! as listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly i n her shrill little four year old girl voice,
"Mom, what is butt dust?" View Comments

| Twilight Saga Books

December 17, 2008, 2008 06:35pm My daughter wants to read the twilight books. She is 12, but I have read that some of the books are too racy for kids her age. I would love to get the opinion of other real moms, and not just writers or teachers saying whatever gets kids to read is a good thing.

| Whale Sounds

October 13, 2008 09:14pm I found this website the other day and thought it would be a good time filler for the kids on a rainy day or when they need something new to discover.

There is also a link to space sounds, storm sounds and dinosaur sounds. I am not exactly sure about the dinosaur sounds though.

| First Grader Proverbs
Posted in Family Entertainment by Kathy
October 28, 2008 07:36pm
A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6- year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
1. Don't change horses until they stop running.
2. Strike while the bug is close.
3. It's always darkest before Daylight Saving Time.
4. Never underestimate the power of termites.
5. You can lead a horse to water but How?
6. Don't bite the hand that looks dirty.
7. No news is impossible
8. A miss is as good as a Mr.
9. You can't teach an old dog new Math
10. If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning.
11. Love all, trust Me.
12. The pen is mightier than the pigs.
13. An idle mind is the best way to relax.
14. Where there's smoke there's pollution.
15. Happy the bride who gets all the presents.
16. A penny saved is not much.
17. Two's company, three's the Musketeers.
18. Don't put off till tomorrow what you put on to go to bed.
19. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and You have to blow your nose.
20. There are none so blind as Stevie Wonder.
21. Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded.
22. If at first you don't succeed get new batteries.
23. You get out of something only what you see in the picture on the box.
24. When the blind lead the blind get out of the way.
25. A bird in the hand is going to poop on you.
And the WINNER and last one!
