Which Celebrity Do You Look Like??



Do you see it? No? It's all in the nose and hair. Maybe if you look at it a little squinty?

This is too hilarious!! Thank you for the laugh, Kristin - I had to pass it along.

Go to myheritage.com to see which celebrity you look most like. I hope you get a laugh out of it, too.

Leah's a Climber

Leah's a climber. She takes after Anna who I found on top of the refrigerator when she was 2. Her most recent "Everest" is the gate that blocks the basement stairs, the one that's supposed to keep her safe. This morning, she scaled that sucker so quick and so high that her entire upper half was hanging over into the vast space of the stairwell just tempting fate. Feel free to feel very sorry for me. I'm predicting that I'll be at least 50% gray by the time she's 3.

On the plus side, sometimes she gets stuck and is too scared to move. Then, if she's not in any real danger, I get a little break from chasing her. She gets stuck on the piano bench over and over. It's just tall enough that when she tries to climb down, her toes dangle about an inch from the floor. As far as she knows, she's 6 feet high and is usually too scared to budge.

This is what she looks like when she finally works up the courage to stretch for the floor. The picture's fuzzy because I only had my phone camera at hand, but can you see the stark terror in the whites of her eyes? Getting to laugh at her is my reward.

Overheard By Steve . . .

A brief but telling conversation overheard by Steve as he passed Sam's room:

Sarah (11) in a very peeved voice: Sam! No no!! Don't do that!

Sam (3): I said duck (His tone clearly said, "Sheesh, what more do you want?")

Yep. That paints a clear picture for me.


Poor Sarah. The things a big sister has to put up with . . .
