Who knew ole' George had a cousin?

You might remember me mentioning Kellen's class project, "paper doll of historical figure." I was finally able to explain to Kellen that George Washington was actually NOT too concerned with global warming, and after scouring both the internet (and a dollar bill in my wallet) for his likeness, Kellen made a great doll.

Which was promptly chewed up by Brew.

Kellen made the replacement doll tonight. Since we had made the first one together, and I assumed he would remember all the steps, I didn't feel the need to hover too closely as he cut out the clothes, attached the ruffles and the wig, and most importantly, drew in the facial features.

But I **am** a little surprised to discover that George Washington apparently had a cousin ---------

Mr. Bill


"ooooooooh-noooooooooooo, Mr. Bill! Don't let that dog eat me, too!!!"

Haaaahaaa! That was always one of my favorite segments on SNL back in the 70s... which is pure proof that I am easily amused. But really, if YOU were that doll, would you not be afraid? Priceless, Kristie...

Perhaps he needs just a touch more hair? Very cute, and hopefully the new little furball won't get his chops on it!

funny! On a side note- I noticed you are reading the books by Dave Peltzer. I have read those as well as "A Man Named Dave". Such a sad yet inspiring story! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the books (if you care to share).

Ahhh.... the good old days, when SNL was actually a comedy and it's purpose was to make people laugh, not push a liberal agenda.......

Oh, thanks for the Friday-morning-laugh-out-loud-at-work humor...after two miserable weeks trying (sometimes in vain!!) to recover from what my periodontist called minor (MINOR!!!!! NOT!!!) gum surgery (don't EVER believe anything that any periodontist tells you), I needed that. Also, will you please tell Blaine for me that although I know that my silly little gum surgery in NO WAY even comes close to what he's gone through with his mouth/teeth/etc., that I do believe that I now have a very SMALL measure of experience that allows me to commiserate and to empathize with some of what he's experienced - from the dental side at least, that is. Please tell him that if I thought he was a hero before (the Air Force, and all, you know!!) - that after this experience, I now KNOW, 100%-without-a-doubt that he is!! A hero, I mean!! Hope Kellen gets a good grade on Mr. George.

I'm George's cousin!!! Well, about 11 times removed, but there are still about two or three droplets of blood in my body that we share. :)

Have fun at the soccer tourney this weekend!
