flying bugs

I think Blogger is getting it's revenge on me. I'm ready to blog and it is not. Passive aggressive anyone?

Anyway, I thought I should mention a few house rule that we have around here:

1. No one touches any active knitting. I have a 4 year old who insures compliance--he's loud and insistent, bad combination for any would-be-perpetrators.

2. You can't watch TV and play the DS at the same time. This rule is of course twisted by the 4 year old to his advantage (he frequently revenges himself on the teenager this way).

3. No mention of the following words within hearing distance of the 4 year old: "mop", "park", "fire", "Starbucks" and anything that you may want to keep private and within the family. This includes venting about annoying people who he may run into at a later event. This includes my sister's boss. Spelling words and switching languages will usually work to avoid detection.

4. You must wear bug spray when entering the back yard. I think I need to import some frogs or something to control the annoying flying bugs.

5. The family camera must be returned to me promptly following any event that you need to use the camera for. That way it may be inspected for damage and it's physical location is verified. Somebody took the camera to record her graduation activities and I just got it back. Time lapsed: one month.

That's it for now. Stay tuned for FO now that I have the camera back.
