....will autopsies and gruesome accidents, unsolved crimes and medieval warfare be discussed at the dinner table
...will every animal in the house, cats and dogs and the occasional chicken that slips in, materialize at my feet the moment the whipping cream comes out of the fridge.
...will you find a lead rope in the dishwasher
...will you ind paper towels hanging up to dry in the house
... will the phrase "...and then they started to yodel" mean anything
You must do the thing you think you cannot do
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Only in our house . . .
do the tyrannosaurus and the triceratops fight for shelf space while the brachiosaur, plesiosaur, giant squid and sea turtle look on.

Only in our house.....
do all 6 fur babies (3 cats - 3 dogs) want to sleep in mommy's bed - every night.
does the English Shepherd try to herd cats at dinner time.
does the rabbit eat better lettuce than we do.
can my DH shrink a plastic gallon ice tea jar to the size of a large mug in the dishwasher.
does the miniature horse know how to climb the porch steps to find me when she gets out of her paddock.(I swear she's half goat - can open anything!)
does the English Shepherd try to keep the sweeper 'in line' by nipping at it even when it's not being used.
do we say we are having 'exploding chicken enchiladas' for dinner and we all crack up laughing.

Only in my house does...
a 3 and 5 year old unlock their uncle's cell phone and dials 911, in the middle of the night, to say a cat was stuck up a tree (really, it took two deputies to respond?!)
a two year old flush your $500 pair of glasses down the toilet (when hubby retrieved them two days later, I never wore them again)
a 15 month old will climb in and out of his high chair (hefting over 30 pounds of chunk)... just to show you that he can.
where same child will move his high chair around in the kitchen in front of the fridge, to let you know it was time for someone to start cooking
where my four legged kid will place her paws on your lap, get up close and very personal to let you know she needs you to "look't me, look't me."
where same four legged kid when ready to come back inside, will jump like a jack rabbit and throw herself against the sliding glass door (imagine seeing a big black and white creature flying at your door when you least expect it!).

Oh, Annika! We have that one too. It's so funny! Our new neighbors are city slickers to say the least. When they came over to the 'zoo' last weekend I called Kitty so they could see the kittens and a flock of 50 chickens came running to see was they were getting. Oh the looks on their faces! Makes me giggle just thinking about it!

Annika,
Your chickens are hilarious. They sound like creatures from my house. I call one dog, and the other two come???? The one I want, quickly leaves. But, if you start walking anywhere close to the kitchen, all animals make an appearance and follow you, even visiting animals--my son's very large dog. If you try to eat something at my dinner table, look down, there are fur balls watching you- at least 6 eyes, 8 when Big Puppy is here.

Only at our house
Our grandsons come and want to wash my dishes and sweep my floor. What 6 and 4 year old want to do nouse work?
They also want to eat grampas goodies and love telling him that they did.
Our grand dogs are as excited to stay all night as the grand kids.

Only in my house...will you go to bed with a clean living room and wake up with four 20 something males sprawled over all the furniture with an array of junk food wrappers all over the room!

Only in our house...
does the dog tell us when it's time for dinner or when to stop when we're having too much fun
do people color outside coloring book lines and make characters look totally different
does mom sing and dance to commercial jingles
does mom actually sing all the time... with or without music!
do we quote characters from old tv shows - in the original voices
is ketchup a side dish
do little kid toys fill the attic awaiting the next generation
does the kitchen look like a pumpkin field exploded
are there all sorts of bathing suits, towels, and pool toys from other people's kids stored
is there a collection of antique family religious statues and rosaries in a niche in the entry way (someone once told me it looks like a small prayer altar)
does the ghost make loud footsteps, move furniture and pictures, and occasionally lend a knock or a voice (we've been blessed... it always comes back...)
is new cove base for the kitchen purchased 13 years ago still brand new in its box in the garage (we've replaced the flooring once since then, too)
is the family bathroom as big as the master bedroom (I actually think it's bigger)
is the living room floor painted with textured paint (don't even ask - it makes me crazy)
are the dining room and man cave floors painted with dark deck paint
do kids get out of school early or have a snow day and ask if they can homeschool with us, too
do the birds sing, chirp and screech at the backdoor until we go out and feed them
did our thirtysomething projects turn into fortysomething projects and even fiftysomething projects (but they're still on the list!)
is there still lots of laughter and love, even in the midst of crisis and turmoil
:)
You know, I kinda like our house...
