I have a funny family

(And not just in looks.)

The other day on our family website my sister-in-law Lindsay Ann asked if anyone wanted to give her a shopping list for when she goes up to Canada in a couple weeks. A few people put in their grocery list for little things that we can't get here. Then, this:

Here's my list:
1 new ford F150 (leather, white, GPS Unit, etc)
50 LBS Green mints (just toss them in the back of the truck)
25 LBS of Turkish delights (please keep in wrappers)
4 orders of fries and gravy (please keep them warm as there is nothing worse than cold soggy fries)
1 Coffee Crisp (that's for Lorie)
1 50 LB bag of Jube Jubes (pick a bag that is fresh & soft, thanks)
If you don't have time for all this then just forget the Coffee Crisp & bring the rest. Thanks!! You are a sweetie!!! Love FOG

Another funny post on the family website came from Wyatt (under the title 'Yodeling is Fun'):

Just so everyone knows, i got a crab for my fish tank, he's pretty awesome! Pretty much the best pet ever, he's so smart and amazing, i had to put duct tape and a few other things at the top of my fish tank, because i found him outside of it the first night, just chilling like a villain, waiting to make a move! But i ended his little dream pretty darn quick, and threw him back into the tank where he is now going to stay forever!! His name is Gus, just so you all know!! Feel free to come visit him just not on tuesdays from 2-4 pm, he has aerobic class, and on fridays from 6pm-2am, he goes clubbing with all his crab friends at the seaside tavern!!
Anyway, thats whats up, so peace out!

And last story, which I had meant to share long ago but forgot until I was reading a book last night to the kids in which there was a picture of a man fishing and there were kangaroos grazing in the background. I reminded Brett of the story and we laughed sooooo hard. The story involves Kami, so you know it's a good one! :)

When we were at her house at New Year's, we played a game we call Categories. You fill a spray bottle with water, and one person picks a category (say, colors) and chooses one thing from that category but doesn't tell what it is. Then they go around the room, sticking the spray bottle right in front of people's faces, the person says something in the category (say, red) and cringes because if they say what the person was thinking of, they get sprayed. Fun stuff.
So anyway, Kami says her category is Animals in Australia. So, we go around everyone several times and I tell you, we say every Australian animal ever IMAGINED and we're thinking--we've got to get it soon, there are really not any other 'Australian' animal. After we have already said kangaroos, kuckaburras (I don't know how to spell that), dingoes, wallabees, etc. etc. etc. Kami finally gives someone a huge hint and says, "They're found in deserts" or something, and someone finally says (puzzledly), "camels?" and she squirts him. We're like---camels?????? And Kami defends herself saying "I just read in the National Geographic/watched a documentary (can't remember which) that said there are more camels in Australia than blah blah blah....." We were like, "We're supposed to KNOW that?!!"" ha ha ah haa! It was soo funny, but maybe you have to know Kami. :)
