Here it is the Blog you have all been waiting for..................Ohhh Yeah....No Mo-Skee-Toes!! I actually created the blog about two weeks ago - only we have had so many visitors that there hasn't been any time to really share any of our stories. Today I am taking a moment to at least do the intro and hopefully send it to those that I have email addresses for. Then, later I will add some stories about things we have done. I have them all written down. So here we go.......
Do you wonder why we are calling our blog "Ohhh Yeah....No Mo-Skee-Toes!!"? We figure that this blog is going to be about keeping people up to speed on what is happening with our family here in our new state, town, community & home. The kids are ALWAYS good for a funny story and we adults can create a few ourselves, but I know I won't remember to share them all when I speak to you - so I can share them here. Plus, we thought it might be fun to share any differences we see between living here in a rural setting and at our other home in a big city. One big diff - the amount of road kill. Anyway, the name - we were brainstorming names, it wasn't going so well as the Big Guy wasn't being very serious, when he did think to ask what we like about living here. One big thing for the kids is the playset - then the amount of stars we have since we are minus all the lights - and the lack of mosquitos came up - then the kids started to sing, "Oooooohhhhh yeaaaaahhhh.......no mo-skee-toes" over and over and over and over - until we told them to stop or we would go insane - and once they were quiet my brain began to function again and their song seemed to be a good title - and I also figured that there wouldn't be much competition for it. I was right and it stuck. So there is the name. Oh, and we really do not have any mosquitos. Plenty of other bugs, but we can sit outside any time of day and never use a smidge of bug spray. It is very nice.

Hey Cool Idea... I am just testing right now. Went to sign up and comment on your blog, and it said I already have an account. Huh, go figure. So now I am trying to recall what I signed up as to begin with.
So here goes... testing one, two, three, testing, four, five,six.
Have to see if this works, if it does then I will post a real cool big bug pic. Darn thing was like three inches long... We found it resting on the side of Gabes sand box. Gabe was so facinated by it that for about a half an hour he ran from his sandbox to back inside where Dan and I were to report everytime it moved. It didn't go very far for that half an hour. The bug must have been just as captivated with Gabe as he was with it.
Dan says it was dying.
He has the same kind of affect on turtles. No they don't die. We had one turtle hang out near the tree Gabe found it at... It would burrow at night in the tall grass hung out for like two weeks, then I think it found a mate because then there were two, and then there was none.. He named it Palsey... pronounced Pals-ee.
Okay so I am off.
Hugs to the kids, we will see them soon.
