We're Back

Hi gang... how was the three day weekend?

-Since Fof3 will be helping the Our Lady of Lourdes Field Day on Tuesday, I am blogging from my new reclining easy chair on Monday night. I am blogitating while Mof3 and I are watching Hell's Kitchen on Fox. <---Fof3 and Todd and Jeff and Ken etc. actually work in the real Hell's Kitchen section of NYC.

-Aunt Roseanna (SILofFof3) says this a fugly chair... but admits it's comfy. <---Make that, COMFY!!!

-This show looks like it's gonna be pretty good.

-3 days in a row at the Beach Club. Each day was great. The kids could NOT wait. We swam, played football, wiffle ball, frisbee and of course, we ate. <---and ate.

-Today was the Malverne Memorial Day Parade. We represented the Little League and had quite a turn out. It was really great.

-Fof3 is going on his 4th day in a row away from the job. <---I needed this.

-This show is good... what a mean guy this English chef is... I hate meanness, but it makes for great Reality TV. I also like blogging from this easy chair. Hmmm, thinking about doing this more often.

-5cfam, didn't see much of you, my friend.

-Mets won, won, lost.

-Yankees won, lost.... <---17-1!! <---OUCH!!

-Caitlin's play is on Wednesday night. <---We can't wait.

-Fof3 will manage Caitlin's team on Saturday. <--gonna be fun.

-??? where are you??????

-Fof3 took the kids to the cemetery where FofFof3 is buried. He passed away 15 years ago on Sunday. He was a great man. <--Make that, a GREAT man.

-This chef guy is awful. Hell's Kitchen. Hmmmmm.

-ok, well, I guess that's about it... sunburned Fof3 signing off... leave word here... and thanks for reading. For now, Fof3...L8ter!!!

TGIF!!

-Hi everyone.

-Start the three day weekend right now...that's what Fof3 says. Weatherman predicts beautiful weather for the w/e. It sure is gorgeous todays...perfect.

-???, you MUST be in Atlantic City. We'll give you til Tuesday to check in and give us a question.

-Mets won. Yankees won. Mets won.

-Todd, what are you doing this weekend?

-Janna, Faith in Florida and Ken... still here with us?

-Mof3 appreciates the kind wishes from all of you. Really.

-Fof3 saw something this morning that I thought I'd NEVER see. It was a music video by Nelly.... and Tim McGraw!!
Country and R&B together.... AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD!! <---Controversial video/song "I Played Chicken With The Train"... has anyone seen or heard that one? <---Great tune...bad message, terrible video. <---Black rapper. Swear.

-Kool-Aid with Splenda... coming to a store near you soon. <---10 calorie Kool Aid.

-Fof3 listening to Boz Scaggs right now.

-Fof3, Mof3 and the kids watched "Medical Miracles" last night. It was wonderful. Baby born with 4 legs... flesh eating bacteria on a mid aged carpenter, woman's scalp ripped off in an accident and a man who fell into a cement mixer. <---All fixed up pretty well by Doctors and other such geniuses. <---The kids were so interested that they'd get upset when a commercial came on. They now know how lucky they all are. Liam loves babies... and he wants to "hang out" with the baby who is now perfectly normal and walking.

-Hi Roseanna, Trinity, and Peggy. Hi Erwin, Chris McD and Jeff. Susan? Lindy? Hi Lizlee. Hi Motherof2boys.

-ok, I'll be around this weekend... leave comments and give me a little help here... running out of cute, funny, interesting, witty, smart things to write. <---Some might argue I ran out a long time ago... anyhooooo... Happy Memorial Day to all... and those who we celebrate this weekend...Thank You. Fof3....L8TER!!!

Carrie Wins!!

-Good for Carrie. Bo will be just fine.

-Yanks won. Mets lost. OUCH.

-Not much to report on. Mof3's ticker is doing fine, Thank God and her med. problems seem to be totally treatable with medication. <---Fof3 was fearing surgery for his gal.

-??? didn't come up with today's question. <---Let's give her one more day, ok?

-Peggy, it's always nice to hear from you here. We miss ya.

-Coffee. More than ever.

-Big three day weekend coming up. <---Summer is right around the corner.

-The birds...chirping away even in the rain. <---Cute.

-DoodleBops. Whatever.

-Someone explain to me how some pizza and some heroes and a plate of pasta came out the $58 yesterday. <--Mof3, these medical problems are killing me!! <---j/k.

-Noelle had to turn in her project on the White Haired Jackrabbit. She and Caitlin had lots of fun doing the project in a shoebox. Liam watched the Heat vs. Pistons.

-Sorry for light blogitiation today... more betterer stuff tomorrow. <---I hope, anyway. ok...Fof3... L8TER!!

Hi again...Wednesday

Good morning, all. <---Except for Loelsh and ??? who tend to be night owls...good evening to you two ladies.

-???, can't make up your mind about the song, huh? Not even close to picking ONE!! <--How about "Midnight Man."?

-Mof3 and Caitlin tell me Carrie did a bit better than Bo last night in the finale. Tonight is going to be fun. <--Admit it, you all like the show.

-5cfam got a little feisty last night at a little league meeting. uh, er, ahem, about partnering up with you on that Flag Football league thing..... I'll, uh, call you. <---Just joshing, you were in the right 100%.

-Prayers for Mof3 who is having a very important test done on her ticker today. Fof3 should be there with his gal, but work won't allow it and so, Roseanna...thank you for escorting Yo there.

-Mets lost. Yankees won. OUCH!

-Fof3 and Todd have moved on from Maxwell House to Kool-Aid now. We get our caffeine AND our sugar rush. <---What's next, Viagra. <---ok, that'll be enough of that. (Family blog)

-Fof3 has Elvis on right now. Costello, that is.

-Raining in NYC today.

-Liam and Noelle have been watching Sandlot 2 over and over and over. Noelle is also a big Bend It Like Beckham fan. Mof3 and Caitlin are just big Beckham fans. Whatever.

-Look for the next installment of the Ugliest Animal Game #3. <---Coming to a family-oriented, lame, boring, Reality show-heavy Blog near you.

-No question today....but Fof3 is turning the next query over to the lady known as ???. <--Let us know in comments.

-ok....enjoy American Idol tonight... you all know who you are.... Fof3... LATER!

It's Tuesday

-Tuesday... traditionally a slow day on the blog. I fear that this Tuesday will be no exception.

-Liam has discovered the WNBA. Women's Basketball. <---His dentist, Dr. Brofsky is a huge b-ball fan and gave Mof3 tix for the Liberty. Liam says they play as good as the men and they can "really hit the threes." (Score three pointers) <---Liam, try some schoolwork.)

-Caitlin met her new math tutor yesterday. They hit it off really well, and Caitlin tells Mof3 and Fof3 that she "gets it now." Uh huh. Good luck, Ms. Math Tutor. When Caitlin thinks she knows something already, she turns off the learning part of her brain and you've lost her.

-Fof3 walked into my room this a.m. after the shower to get dressed and caught Noeele in a guilty moment. BUSTED!! But I had NO idea what this angel would be busted for... you got it...DoodleBops. <---I hugged her and told her there's nothnig wrong with watching this show if she likes it. I'll stop teasing her about it from now on.

-hey, 5cfam, Fof3 is thinking of starting up a Malverne Flag Football league for the kids. Interested?

-Janna, Faith, Lizlee, cousins Trish and Chrissy....where are you? Ken, Jeff (NSN), Todd... you guys around? Motherof2boys... Caitlin... hello? Erwin? Stop by and say Hi.

-Fof3 has a great question for the gang today... If you were on American Idol...what song would you sing? ok... answer whenever...Fof3 ...LATER!!!

Happy Monday 5/23/05

Hi gang.

-Start of a new week.

-Beautiful morning, today. The birds...the birds. So loud, I couldn't hear my alarm clock. <---Not really.

-Lots of baseball this weekend. Liam had a game Saturday and Sunday. We had lots of fun... the kids were realy great. I really like this team..this group of kids is really cool.

-Caitlin had a game Saturday evening and she hit the best hit of her career. A bomb to deep right field. It reminded Fof3 of a Darryl S. blast at Shea. The kind of shot that a kid like Caitlin will never forget. <---Nice job, kiddo.

-Noelle was forced to miss her game Friday night because we had a family obligation... but she'll be back rested and ready for her next game.

-Beach club opens next week. The family can NOT wait. Fof3 gets there two or three times a year.. but Mof3 and the kids are there just about every day in the summer. <---Membership dues aren't much, but a $ here for ice cream and a $ there for a water and $$ there for the video games and so on...not includng the tips to every high school kid working there...Fof3 needs to keep working!!

-Yanks won. Mets won. Yanks won.

-Fof3 saw his sister-in-law, Roseanna, Friday night...looking as lovely as ever.

-Afleet Alex...what a great horse...almost fell and won the race easily. Fof3 will be out at Belmont for the Belmont Stakes... Afleet Alex will be hard to beat that day.

-Fof3 and family got home from baseball yesterday to discover that the tulips...yes, Fof3's tulips had been replaced by impatiens. <---Ralph, the gardener did this early this year. <----Ralph, I know you don't read this blog, so a big Grrrrr! to you for killing the LIVE tulips!! <---Those impatiens better be beautiful!!! <---Ralph is just mad that Mof3 planted so many of her own flowers this year.

-5cfam...didn;'t see you guys at all this w/e. That's a first since baseball started. <---You got to see a good Arena Football game Saturday...I looked for you guys on tv.

-Tomorrow night...Bo vs. Carrie. I took an unscientific poll this weekend and Bo wins...hand down. <---We'll see.

-ok, sorry for the dull blogitation. Fof3 needs to get back to the Maxwell House people. Oh, and, btw, Fof3 is drinking more coffee than ever these days. ???, how is your coffee consumption these days? ...ok, Fof3.... saying...LATER!!!

TGIF!!

Hi again...rainy Friday morning here in NYC.

-Trinity is really stumped by 5cfam's question yesterday. <---Which, btw, 5cfam didn't answer.

-Fof3's fmaily was thrown into complete turmoil this morning. The kids have something called Crazy Hat Day today... Noelle hated the hat Fof3 made for her... but after a lot of crying and carrying on, we altered it to her satisfaction. Liam's Crazy Hat is a Mets cap with ribbons hanging from it... (in NY Mets orange and blue, of course!) Caitlin's Crazy Hat is pink Mets cap with hot pink ribbons. <---Get the theme here?

-Fof3's Green Machine had baseball practice and I tried something new. An interesting article came out the other day talking about children's brains and their inablility to hit slower pitching. Apparently, the are not yet equipped with the depth perception needed to wait on a ball and time the swing correctly. The author suggested doing a test... throw the same kid slow pitching, then faster. Trust me, he is right. The kids were able to adjust the start of the swing earlier and they hit the ball better with some fast pitching. I was really surprised as I threw pretty hard. They all improved. <---Something I found interesting.

-Preakness tomorrow...watch out for Snappy T.

-Todd saw the new Star Wars and gives it a B-. <---Ouch!

-Kendra is the new Apprentice. Mof3 was so aggravated by Donald Trump's last second plug of his new Broadway musical and the upcoming Martha Stewart Reality show that I think it ruined the whole season for her. If you saw it, you know it was shameless. She's right.

-Maxwell House commercail....anyone?

-???... where you been?

-Well, that's about it from here... hoping you all have a safe and happy weekend... Fof3...LATER!!!

Poor VonZell

ok, so by now you know how involved I am in American Idol. Sorry, I can't help it. I feel sorry for VonZell. (Is that how you spell her name?) It's down to Rob vs. Amber. no, wait... Kendra vs. Tana. Nope, not that either. Clay and Ruben? No. MaryKate vs. Ashley? Krisily vs. Sara? oh whatever it is, Bo is your winner. Maybe not. Maybe it's Giacomo. or Afleet Alex. I need sleep.

-Caitlin had a great game last night vs. Fof3 old alma mater League... G.C. South. Caitlin says that the catcher was telling the girls who were at bat that they had boogers in their nose... hoping to distract them. Being Caitlin's greatest fear in life (that would be not knowing she had a visible-to-everyone-else booger hanging there)...I think she fell for it. (At least the first time.) The next time she hit a rocket to right field..so hard in fact that the rightfielder grabbed it and threw C. out at first. Ouch. <---Nice shot, honey.

-Noelle was having a great time with her friend Olivia. Liam hung with O.'s brothers, Zach and Nicholas. No McD's last night.

-Mets won. Yanks lost. Mets won. <---Boy, that flows so nicely out of Fof3's fingers to the keyboard.

-Big thanks to Todd for once again saving Fof3's butt at work the other day. Fof3 is able to make so many of the kids' practices and games and recitals because Todd is there to smooth things over when the stuff hits the fan.

-Fof3 is listening to Joe Cocker right now. <---Good stuff, that.

-The birds. They are getting better and better each day. (I swear, they were chirpping the Our House tune this morning.) (I need more sleep.)

-Fof3's friend, 5fcam poses today's question: Would you rather change your past or know your future? Fof3 needs to think about that one...that's pretty heavy stuff. I'll answer in comments later. Your turn, all... so, Fof3....LATER!!!

Bo !!!

-Bo-licious. Who said that last night? Was it Caitlin? No. Was it Noelle? No. Was it Mof3?....

-Fof3 hears that he was really great. Jeff agrees.

-???..Thanks... I knew you'd see the commercial on Desperdate Housewives. Those firemen are getting calls form all over the country from people who want to meet them, people who say they know them from a long time ago..and Good Morning America wants to interview them.

-Mets won. Yanks won. Mets won.

-Caitlin is up to her neck in drama these days. <---Can't wait to see your two plays, honey.

-Liam... baseball/basketball fanatic these days. <---Try doing some homework, young man.

-Noelle... DoodleBopping still. Whatever.

-The birds...chirping loudly this morning. Fof3 slept right though it, but they got Mof3 up at 6:15.

-Fof3 not only missed A.I. last night... I missed The Shield, too. <---Gotta get Tivo, says Todd.

-Hi Peggy, Hi Ken. Roseanna? Faith? What's up, Janna?

-Tomorrow's question of the day goes to Fof3's friend, 5cfam. <---Go for it, Chris.

-Regarding Fof3's caffeine intake these days, I am still doing three coffees a day, but now one is a 50/50 iced. I have this on the way home, then run to my car and speed home. <---Small bladder, I guess. TMI? Probably.

ok... that's about it, so, til tomorrow.... Fof3....OUT!!!

Tuesday

-The DoodleBops. Nu uh. <---Noelle, you're killing your dad with this thing. Mom and dad would prefer you'd watch re-runs of PeeWee's Playhouse, or listen to Michael Jackson cds or play with mtches then watch this scarey, creepy, dangerous thing. My apologies to Mrs. H's adorable son who loves this show... but, son, stick to Barney.

-Sorry for the negativity this am...but the DoodleBops will do that to a person who is forced to listen to it while trying to get dressed and get out to work.

-The birds... back in a big way. They sing a pretty song though. I like it.

-Mets won. Yanks won. Mets won.

-Ben Stiller gets the big thumbs down on yesterday's question.

-American Idol is on tonight. Fof3 needs to tape it. I can't make up my mind as to who I want to see win. <---Fof3 says declare them all winners at this point.

-Mof3 watched 3 hours of the Bachelor last night. (We did watch most of Raymond, but the remote was in full use during the commercials.) Fof3 was pretty much wogging out over all that much of the Bachelor. <---You owe me, Mof3.

-The Preakness is Saturday. Fof3 says Giacomo. ???, what do you say?

-Motherof2boys....where are you? Todd? Jeff? Ken? Susan? Faith? Lizlee? Janna? Caitlin?

-ok ok ok, question... Have you seen that beautifully edited commercial on the air where the Firemen sing Our House about Maxwell House coffee? If so, how do you like it? <---Be careful.

-Fof3...OUT!!

Ok, I'm back.

Been busy. Really.

-What a cool weekend for Fof3. <-Hope yours was the same.

-Noelle tee ball game Friday was so much fun. She got to play on the big field and all the kids played well and behaved even better.

-Caitlin's day Friday: School, bowling, drama, sleep over party at a friend's house. <---Saturday, she was Nasty McNasterson from Nasty-vania. (I think she was a little tired.)

-Noelle's Saturday game was even better than Friday's . Noelle got the Game Ball! Liam and Fof3 went with her and the boy put away a hot dog, a bagel, a fudgesicle, a coke, some Pringles and some airheads.

-Mof3 waited at home for a new recliner to be delivered and Fof3 broke it in with an awesome nap from 2:00 to 3:00.

-Then it was off to Liam's game at the big field. Fof3 turned on the microphone and with Coach George from the other team, we announced each played like they do in the All Star Game and The World Series. The kids got a big kick out of that.

-Fof3's buddy, 5cfam allowed his son to play on the other team as an emergency fill in and the kid hit a few rockets. <---Good job, Chris Jr.

-Hockey.... hasn't been happening, really. It falls low on the priority list this year.

-Liam discovered a new game...called Hot Button Baseball... it's played with special baseball cards and it's really fun. Fof3 recommends it and I think it will be the end of the year giift to all my players.

-Mof3 planted flowers all over the yards and the house looks awesome. <---Good job, Mof3....but I know you're not done...not by a longshot.

-The kids saw Grandma at the game Saturday and they saw Nonno and Nonna yesterday.

-Two new players Saturday for the Green Machine. Christian and Michael. <---Way to go guys, now we're a team!

-I have a question from the group today. It is inspired by Will Ferrell in the movie Kicking and Screaming. Do you like him? Which actors do you like and not like? (Let's stick to comedy for now.) ok, Fof3...OUT!!!

It's Friday the 13th

Hi gang.

-2bz2blog2day.

-Have a great weekend.

Happy Birthday, Roseanna!

Happy B-Day to my sister-in-law, Rose.

-Fof3's Sister in law Roseanna is now blank blank years old. I've known her now for 23 years and she was 11 when we met. roseanna was the only sister of the first and only girlfriend I'd ever had... and we hit it off from the very beginning. I have too many fond memories of my friendship with Roseanna but I'd like to share two of them.

Roseanna is a huge New York Ranger fan... because of me. Mof3 and I were dating steady for only a few days... we started dating just before Christmas and so it was the day after or so when she asked if I wanted to come over. Not knowing really how to be a boyfriend, I went over not knowing what to expect of this family evening. We watched the Love Boat. Yolanda, Roseanna and myself. I casually mentioned that the Rangers were on channel 9... and Yolanda, wanting to please her new beau switxhed the station. (By hand, no remote!) Roseanna became hooked. She got to know every player, developed a crush on Ranger forward Don Maloney and since her house was not yet hooked up with cable, came to my house with Yolanda to watch the cable only games. My mom and dad welcomed her into the home every time..and we all sat around watching the games.

A few years later, Yolanda and Roseanna and I traveled to Lake George to spend time with my family while they took our yearly month long vacation there. (I was working and could go for only a long weekend.) Yo had been there before, but Roseanna had not. We had a ball. I mean it. We did so much in three days.. my sisters, my brother, Yo and I and Roseanna and friends from up there. It was magical. As we were leaving for the 4 hour drive home, Roseanna could not hold it in any longer. As she hugged the big bear of a man that was my father, she crumbled in tears. She didn't want to leave. Dad hugged her even tighter, invited her back next year... and told her how special she was. This was a very profound, poignant moment in my life...and hers. And Yo's and my folks. It was a real compliment to the whole situation.

Happy Birthday, Rose ...and don't worry, no one will do the math to figure out your age....<---right gang?

Fof3 would like everyone to wish this specail lady a Happy Birthday.

Happy Wednesday

Hi everyone again.

-Fof3 needs input on A.I. last night. Mo3 and Caitlin tell me Anthony was really good, so was Bo. <---I need more.

-Fof3 is shocked that no one said they liked M&m's as their fave. (This is my second choice.)

-The birds... yup...they're back. <---Still ok with me. (Although, slightly less enthused about their return than I was a few days ago.) (Check back later in the week.) (Sorry about all these parentheses.)

-Mets lost. Yanks won.

-The tulips... gorgeous!

-Liam gave Mof3 a shock yesterday as he told her he loves Tic Tacs... she asked where he tried a Tic Tac and he replied, "From that man over there." (Park setting.) She made him spit it out and then approached the man, who was with his children and nicely let him know that it wasn't appreciated. Just goes to show us all that no matter how many times you tell a kid something... they just sometimes go with the flow and don't think. Scarey. (The man apologized and everything is fine.) (He then offered Mof3 an apple. <----Just kidding.

-Caitlin was selected to help a different drama class put on a play. Kinda like the drama All-Stars. <---Very proud of her.

-Noelle has a new favorite show. Something called the DoodleBops. <----Fof3 thought we'd outgrown this. Check post from a few days back. DoodleBops are the strangest things I've ever seen.

-Trinity gets today's question...and it's a heavy one: If you had to choose one of the 5 senses to lose, which one would you choose. Fof3 says, "Goodbye, sense of smell!" <----I'd miss my wife's perfume, my daughter's breath and the morning coffee smell... but I'd get over the cat food smell, the rush hour subway smell and smell of sushi that my clients eat all day, every day in my small room. Your turn, Fof3 OUT!!! (and, thanks, Trinity)

Snickers Wins!!

Wow..what a response. Seems to Fof3 that whenever the question revolves around food, whammo!!... comments aplenty.

-Caitlin..no vote? Mother of 2 boys? Mof3? Roseanna? <---Don't tell me you guys don't like candy!

-Nice weather in NYC today.

-Mets won. Yankees won. Mets won.

-American Idol tonight. Bo <---Be nice to Paula.

-The birds outside Fof3's window...remember me telling you about them? <---They're baaaaack. (That's ok.)

-Fof3 saw a bunch of nieces and nephews at Grandma's on Sunday. I love you all.

-Speaking of which, Fof3's nephew (NofFof3) Christian is ready to play his first game with the Green Machine on Saturday. His thumb is all healed. <----He asked Fof3 if he could be the catcher! <--Not yet, my man... no more broken thumbs for a while.

-Fof3 is trying to cut back on the coffee. <----Watch out. (???, this is gonna be tough, huh?)

-Fof3 would like Trinity to ask the question of the day for tomorrow. Trinity, leave your question in today's comments.

-Well, that's about it...Snickers wins... til tomorrow... Fof3...OUT!!!

Happy Monday 5/9/05

Hi everyone. Welcome back to the workdays.

-Kentucky Derby winner. Giacomo. I told you all!! <----Just kidding.

-Noelle had a good game on Saturday. She was adorable. So were 5cfam's kids. (The McD's rock!)

-Liam and Caitlin and Noelle danced up a storm at their cousin's Communion psrty on Saturday night. <---We had fun, right kids?

-Fof3 hopes all the moms out there had a great Mother's Day. Mof3 loved her watch the kids gave her.

-Tulips...awesome...really.

-ok, got a question for the gang here...ready? What's your favorite candy? (Fof3 LOVES Three Musketeers bars!!) Fof3..OUT!!!

TGIF!!

,,boy life goes fast. It seems like I type out TGIF!! almost every day. Is that good or bad? I mean, I love the weekends, but I want life to slow down. I swear the kids get bigger and older from every morning to night when I get home. Mof3 and I have decided to stop wishing things would prgress quickly to each new step... we used to wish theyd be out of diapers... now they are. We used to wish they'd get over Barney and Bob the Builder...now they have. You get the idea.. the trend... we're starting to miss these things. Stop the world for a few minutes..I need to take pictures.

-Mets won. Yankees lost. Mets won.

-No baseball this weekend. Communions and rain. <--I hope not for the kids' sakes.

-Thanks for the reviews on HGTTG. I read the series like 25 years ago... I'll wait for it to come to my local Blockbuster. <---Go ahead Todd, Jeff, Julio..make fun of the dinosaur who still hasn't signed on to Netflix. Haha.

-Fof3 is about to declare a winner in the Ugliest Animal Part 2 game.

-Tomorrow is the Kentucky Derby. ??? who is going to win? Fof3 is going with Bandini. Dan Fogelberg has a lame sappy song called, Run For The Roses about the life of a Kentucky Derby contender. Fof3 loves his music but that song is good for only one day a year. You got it..tomorrow. Whatever.

-Fof3 worked late last night and dodn't see the younger two kids until this morning. Liam greeted me this morning with a nosebleed. A pretty bad one. <---Good luck, Mof3.

-Caitlin is becoming quite the workout Queen. Sounds like more $$$ for Fof3 to buy "stuff" needed to jump around. (or gym fees.)

-ok ok ok, now it's time for my solicitations to people who seldom write in... Roseanna (my sis-in-law... SILofFof3...where are you???), how about you, Ken? Peggy, you're always here....thanks. Lizlee, welcome back. ???, Trinity and Loelsh... keep coming back. Faith..nice to hear from you again, it had been awhile. Lindy, Susan, Todd, 5cfam? How about Jamie, Caitlin, Mother of 2 boys. Haven't even heard from Erwin lately, or Mof3.

-ok, well, everyone have a great weekend...and fill me in on what is going on. Last day to vote. Fof3...OUT!!!

Fof3 Feels Bad For Scott

I knew this would happen. I've wanted to see Scott leave American Idol for so long now, and wouldn't you know it, I feel bad for him. We all do at the Fof3 house. <---Wierd.

-Caitlin had a game last night. She was very good. Mof3 and Fof3 worked the concession stand and that was fun. The stand at the Malverne Little League sells hot dogs, of course....hamburgers, griled chicken sandwiches, knishes, Gatorades, sodas and every type of candy imaginable. The Irish in me makes the knishes irresistable. <---Can't get enough potatoes.

-The voting is still open for two major elections worldwide today. The British Prime Minister Election... and the Ugliest Animal Part 2. <---Fof3 wants to find someone who has voted in both.

-Mets won last night 3-2. Liam slept at his Nonna's house amd they watched the whole game together. Noelle slept over too, but fell asleep way earlier.

-Noelle's Tee Ball pic came out soooo pretty. Liam looks great in his. Still waiting for Caitlin's.

-Has anyone seen The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy yet? <---Let me know.

-Mother's Day is coming soon. <---Kids... take care of your mom. All of you.

_That's about it from here... So.... Fof3...OUT!!

Scott comes through!!

At least, that's what Mof3 says. She says he was really good last night. (And she's NO fan.)

-Anthony. How did he do?

-How about Vonzell?

-The other 2 did really well, I hear.

-Well really not much else going on... kind of a slow day/night yesterday. Liam is sick...strep. From playing ball in the rain. Mof3 is treating him like a king today.

-Noelle-practice today. Caitlin, you too. At different fields at the same time. Good luck, Mof3.

-Caitlin wants an IPOD. Bad. The new kind that works with a PC. <---We'll see, kiddo.

-My tulips are beautiful this week. <---Gotta take pics, I know.

-Yankees lost. Mets lost. Yankees lost.

-We need more votes for ugliest animal and more pet peeves.

-Mother of 2 boys is moving. : ( Good luck, Mother of 2 boys.

-Roseanna? Jeff? <---Jury duty. Susan? Lindy? Jamie? Faith in Florida? Vote. <---It is very important to take part in the Ugliest Animal Part 2 game.

-ok, sorry for the light blogitation today. Typical Wednesday, though. Fof3 ...OUT!!

Scott... pack your bags.

ok ok ok, now that hopefully you've voted for ugliest animal part 2... (remembering that they are ALL God's creatures, be nice)... we can get down to our normal Tuesday biz of guessing which American Idol will get voted off tonight:

-Scott. End of discussion as far as Fof3 is concerned.

-Paula Abdul is in a bit of trouble... (Fof3 told you that she cried too much for Constantine. <---Not right.

-Liam had a game last evening and it was a good one. He played on a bum leg and for that, got the game ball.

-5cfam's team played Fof3's team to a 9-9 draw. Fof3's friend, 5cfam purposely started a deep conversation with Liam while Liam was on second base. The distraction worked perfectly as Liam was caught running to third... then rightly claimed that he was distracted. <----Protest.

-Fof3 likes to tease Katie Koolness that she has a bug in her hair during the game. Well, yesterday, she REALLY did have a bug in her hair, but of course refused to believe me. Then I got it out and proved it to her. She shivered and kept combing her hair with her fingers. <---You're welcome, Katie Koolness!

-There are some pretty ugly animals on this blog lately. <---Once again, I refer to the Ugliest Animal Game Part 2..not the commenters!

-Mets won. Yankees won. Mets won.

-Has anyone seen a good family movie lately? Napoleon Dynamite is a funny movie. <---Vote for Pedro.

???, Mother of 2 boys, Ken? Tom W., Susan, Mof3, Caitlin, Faith? Lizlee, Lindy? <---Can I hear from you folks?

-Loelsh gets to ask the question today: What is your biggest pet peeve? You may leave more than one. Your turn. Fof3, OUT!!!

It's A Beautiful Monday

Thank goodness the rain is over. Rain-outs all over the place.

-Fof3 and family had 2 family functions this weekend.. Both were fun!

-Noelle does this little dance with Fof3 where she kinda climbs right up to my shoulders. She is light as a feather and very athletic, so she does most of the hard work..I just hold her hands. We did that thing like, 75 times. Then every other kid wanted to try it. <---The dry cleaner wants to know why there are footprints all over my pants and shirt...and shoulders!!!

-Caitlin looked like a Hollywood Starlet this weekend.

-Liam was a perfect gentleman the whole weekend, but especially when he gave up his chair in musical chairs to the Communion girl, Suzanne. <--His cousin who hardly pays any attention to him at all. <---Your grandpa would be very proud of your gentlemanly ways, Liam.

-Fof3 is soooo happy it's May. May is a beautiful month. <----Mothers' Day. Kids, do NOT forget this. Dads either.

-Mets won last night. 6-3.

-Fof3 thoroughly enjoyed the First Lady, (no, not Mof3...Laura Bush) roast her husband the other night. She was a riot...and President Bush was great in allowing himself to be picked on. <---Fof3 is a big fan.

-We're getting some very good responses to our questions... Loelsh... tomorrow is your turn to ask the question. Think one up and leave it in comments.

-Faith? Janna? Susan? Ken? Jamie? Mrs. H? ??? ? Jeff, Caitlin? HELLO?????

-ok... enjoy this wonderful weather... Fof3...OUT!!!
