A Friday Funny!

What starts with 'F' and ends with 'K'

A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students.

The teacher asked, 'Harry, what's your problem?' Harry answered, 'I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!'

Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office. While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.


Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.


Principal: 'What is 3 x 3?'


Harry: '9.'


Principal: 'What is 6 x 6?'


Harry: '36.'


And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know. The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her, 'I think Harry can go to the 3rd grade.' Ms. Brooks says to the principal, 'Let me ask him some questions.'


The principal and Harry both agreed.


Ms. Brooks asks, 'What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?'


Harry, after a moment: 'Legs.'


Ms. Brooks: 'What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?'


The principal wondered why she would ask such a question!


Harry replied: 'Pockets.'


Ms. Brooks: 'What does a dog do that a man steps in to?'


Harry: 'Pants.'


Ms. Brooks: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin, whitish liquid?'

Harry: 'Coconut.'


The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.


Ms. Brooks: 'What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?'


The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer.


Harry replied, 'Bubble gum.'


Ms. Brooks: 'What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?'


Harry: 'Shake hands.'


The principal was trembling.


Ms. Brooks: 'What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?'


Harry: 'Firetruck'


The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, 'Put Harry in the fifth-grade, I got the last seven questions wrong!

Thoughts for Thursday!

Happiness keeps you sweet,

Trails keep you strong.

Sorrows keep you human,

Failures keep you humble.

Success keeps you glowing,

But only God keeps you going.

Are we crazy yet? The week of November 17th

Here's last weeks re-cap!

Our crazy week was off and running Monday. With a short school week ahead of us, our week was full. It started with getting a foot detox. It was very interesting to say the least. There's a long story behind it but at this point, I'm not sure I have enough time to go into all of it. All I'll say at this point is I'm going back next Monday for a second "treatment" and if you've never done one, I'd highly recommend it. If you'd like to hear more info about it, email me! Monday night was Courtney's soccer teams party. It was a good time and Courtney had a great time playing soccer with her friends from school. Onto Tuesday, it was a very busy day of getting things do around the house and a quick meeting in the afternoon. Wednesday rolled around and it was a half of day of school for the girls. That evening it was off to dinner with my friend Jackie. It was a nice evening out of catching up and girly talk. Thursday and Friday the girls were off school. The girls spent Thursday with Aunt Lisa and Kayla had her first sleep over at a friends house that night. I was a little worried if she would make it all night but she did!!! And she had a blast! I was so happy for her but now she ready to have asleep over here! Not sure if I'm ready for that yet but we will see. Friday it was pack an doff to the farm for opening weekend of deer season. Courtney came back empty handed again! I was so bummed but she was totally fine with it. She's waiting for "the big one!" Along with every other hunter out there! But she has a good reason to hold out. There is a 12 pointer walking around up there. My brothers have pictures of him on cameras they have placed up there. She thinks that's the one she is going to shoot. God help us all if he comes walking along when she is sitting out there! :)

Here's the news for this week.....

Here we are...the week before Thanksgiving and 5 weeks away from Christmas! This week is like any other around here lately. It's full of a couple of meetings, Chic Boutique stuff, Kayla's Soccer teams party, birthday parties, and of course, a soccer game! Courtney has started indoor soccer. There's a lot to do in a little bit of time. I haven't started Christmas shopping yet and it's something I'd really like to get started! But there seems to be a little bit of a problem. I have NO clue what to get the girls this year. Neither one of them want much. Should be interesting to see what I end up finding! ;)

Until next week, have a great week!!

Opening Weekend!

So, we are packed and ready to head out for Opening Weekend of Deer Hunting! Courtney is so excited and can't wait to hunt all weekend. Kayla and I on the other hand are not looking forward to a very COLD weekend!!

Wish us luck!! I'm really hoping Courtney is able to shoot something, it will make not going next weekend a lot easier!! I'll update you we get back on Sunday!

Here's a pic of her from last year! I'm sure there will be many new ones this year!

Our Life this week! ~ November 10th

Here's last weeks re-cap!

Our first week of November in the Fritsche house is in the books. Amazing how fast this year has gone by. Last week was no different than the previous weeks around here. Monday the Girls had a half of day for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Both of the girls are doing very well and had excellent report cards. Courtney made first quarter honor roll. The first time she has had the chance to do that so we were very excited for her!! Kayla is doing great! It amazes me how quickly she catches on and how much she is learning. She already understands and counts money and is telling time. They are learning so much at such a young age now!! After conferences Courtney had soccer practice....the last one of the season!! Then we were off to Spirit Night at school. They had a dinner and handed out awards to all the fall sports players. It was really cute and the girls had a good time. Tuesday the girls were off school because of Election Day. I spent most of the day at home working on things for the Boutique. We added Letters from Santa that are really cute!!!! Wednesday is was back to school and I worked on some more Boutique stuff. When Thursday finally rolled around I was ready for the weekend. It had been such an off week that I was ready to sleep in!! And then came FRIDAY!! I had several things to do to wrap up the week. That evening the girls and I went shopping for some new winter clothes! We made the mistake of going to the mall on a Friday night!! I've learned my lesson. It was "Freaky Friday" as Courtney kept pointing out. And let me tell ya....she was right. I wonder what rock some of these kids/people crawl out from under. It was a little scary! The weekend came and I was looking forward to sleeping in!!! Courtney had a soccer game Saturday and it was COLD!!!!!!! She scored another goal but unfortunately this time I did not get a picture. It was so freaking cold my camera decided it was going to work right. But the funny story behind this goal.....Friday night at the mall, Courtney asked for a Webkinz. I told her "No, not tonight. Christmas is coming and if I started buying you toys now, what will you do if Santa already has it for you?" She was fine with this answer until we saw the deer Webkinz!! She has been asking for this one since it first came out. She didn't know but I had already bought it and had it stashed away for Christmas. She was begging for it. Even said "I will do ANYTHING for it!" I kept telling her "no, I'm sorry." I felt so bad! I knew she wanted it and we had been looking for it, and she had just found out the Webkinz had retired the deer. Surprisingly she didn't throw and big fit even though she kept asking. So I ended up telling her, "I'll make you a deal, you score a goal in your soccer game tomorrow and we'll talk about getting the deer." Oops!! Big mistake! That girl went out and was going to get a goal if it was the last thing she did. Guess I learned my lesson on opening my mouth! Needless to say, guess who now has the deer Webkinz and who is short the Christmas gift list now!?! ;) She was so excited to get that deer though. She was so cute, she said it's going to bring her good luck this upcoming weekend for deer hunting. Let's hope so!! So the rest of weekend was full with 3 more soccer games, Courtney had her first indoor game Sunday morning and then played her last outdoor game and Kayla had her last game. Come Sunday evening, I was frozen and ready for bed!!

Here's the news for this week.....

This week is going to be crazy! It's very busy! The girls have a short week at school this week. They have a half of day on Wednesday and are off on Thursday and Friday. I have a lot of things to do this week....a lot with the Boutique. The girls and I will be leaving on Friday to head to the Farm for the weekend. It's opening weekend of deer season!!!! With 6 weeks until Christmas, I have to start thinking about shopping, cards, gifts, and all the fun times ahead in the next couple of weeks!!! :)

Until next week, have a great week!!

Happy November! The week of Nov. 3rd

Here's last weeks re-cap!

Okay, so here we go......Last week, what can I say about it, CRAZY!!! Monday started our week off on the very busy side. There were things to do, flu shots, soccer practice, and then our first snow meeting! Yes! I said it, SNOW! I can't believe it's that time of the year to start thinking about snow again! We had drivers meetings on Monday and Tuesday. It was strange....driving out there, it seemed like I hadn't seen those guys in FOREVER! But then once we guys started showing up and checking in, it was like just yesterday that we had the big storm in March. Tuesday was also busy, getting things ready for Halloween, meetings, and normal everyday stuff! Wednesday comes around and it's catch up day on things that I hadn't been able to get to on Monday and Tuesday along with carving our pumpkin and packing Courtney for the upcoming weekend.....Youth Hunt Weekend at the Farm!!! Our pumpkin turned out really cute thanks to Ashley, my brother's girlfriend. She's quite the artist and helped us with drawing a very cute BOO face. I'll be posting pics hopefully on Wednesday! When Thursday came around it was time to go crazy and make sure everything was ready for Friday along with a soccer game in the evening for Kayla! Then came Friday, HALLOWEEN!! It was a busy but very fun day! The girls both had parties at school. I was in charge of Kayla's but I did pop into Courtney's. Both parties went well and the girls had a great time. Trick or Treating was fun! Courtney only lasted about 45 minutes. She wanted to go home and was more concerned about making sure everything was ready to leave in the morning for her hunting trip. She wanted to leave right after school and skip trick or treating, but I put my foot down (along with MaMa) and said no. So Saturday morning MaMa, PaPa, and Courtney were up bright and early and were off to the Farm for the Youth Hunt week. Dave, Kayla, and I stayed home. Kayla had a birthday party she was invited to on Sunday and REALLY wanted to go. Along with a soccer game on Saturday and Sunday. Our weekend was busy but also nice with some down time. Which was great after our busy week and 2 and a half hours of trick or treating with Kayla!!!

Here's the news for this week.....

So here we are, the first week of November and 7 weeks until Christmas!!! Crazy!!!! Our week is packed solid with Parent/Teacher Conferences, Soccer practice, Spirit Night at school, 2 meetings, a field trip for Courtney on Friday, and what seems like a million other things to do!! Our weekend isn't any less busy either! Both of the girls have games on Sunday and there are several things going on for Saturday! And then next week...the girls have a half of day on Wednesday, are off Thursday and Friday and then it's opening weekend for Deer Season so guess where we will be!!! :) Gotta love it! Watch for some pictures coming soon!!!

Until next week, have a great week!!
