The Mystery Smell!!

Well for the past several days every time we get into the car when its closed up, there is a foul smell. I've looked everywhere trying to find the smell, thinking of course there is some sort of left over snack collecting mold and smelling up the mom mobile. After washing the car, vacuuming, even taking the seats out I found nothing. So I figured I'd just spray some air Freshener and be done with it.
A couple of days later while I stop to pick up Benny (one of our exchange students) to take him to school, He is sitting in the very back seat with the one and only Logan. Apparently Benny had a pretty good whiff of the smell and opened up one of the consoles that I seemed to have missed, and of course it is the one closest to Logan's chair. And there it is! the Mystery smell. Some sort of Juice and God knows what floating around along side of MOLD, Black or green, whatever it was just floating around what I'm guessing was Apple Juice, and by now pretty fermented. I decided it wasn't worth mentioning to Logan at that time because who knows how long its been in there, and by that time I can't really see the logic in scolding him for something he did weeks ago.. So I pour bleach, take a rag, and clean it out. ahhhhhhh the smell of clean.
That same day we get into the car to pick up the kids from school, first thing Logan does is open the console and yell " HEY MOM, SOMEONE STOLE MY POTION!"
NICE, THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS NICE!!

We should win a prize for this LMAO


Check out Logans face, seriously the FUNNIEST thing I've ever seen. We can not stop laughing at this.. funny thing is he LOVED this ride and asked if he could go on it again!

EYE ROLLS AND AIR QUOTES OH MY!

HOLY COW it has been a long time since I've blogged, But that does not mean nothing has been going on, it just means I've been so busy, or just plain lazy!
These past few months have been INTERESTING, FUN, STRESSFUL, and exciting! We took a family trip to the river for a few days of Jet Ski's and swimming. we took Madison with us and we all had a great time! funny thing is its 125 + out there, and your in the water ALL DAY and I didn't even get a freckle, then a few hours here at home at the beach, and I end up looking like a lobster. Either way we had a blast. The most AMAZING thing to happen in our family is hosting our Foreign exchange student Verena, she is from Austria and is staying with us for a month. WE LOVE HER! actually we love all of the kids that are here, we have been so busy, so tired but having the time of our lives. we can not wait to host again next year! Sadly they all have to go home next weekend, I know my kids are going to be devastated. Logan has been "cheeky" as Verena says, and I kind of like that instead of saying "bratty". it sounds way cuter.. And yes Logan has been CHEEKY! HOLY MO LY! he has also started using "air quotes" OK my first question is "WHERE DID HE LEARN AIR QUOTES?" The other day he actually looked at Joe held up his " air quotes" and said "dad your such a drama boy". Morgan has turned into a "DIVA" overnight, I'm not liking 7 so much, I guess its just a taste of what lies ahead. She has started doing the "eye roll" really? at 7? I was thinking more like 11 or 12 but no, at the age of 7 she knows EVERYTHING mom and dad are always wrong. I actually told her "if you roll your eyes at me one more time I'm going to knock your eye sockets out of your head" OK NO I WOULD NEVER DO THAT! but the eye roll EVERYDAY!
Tuesday we took Verena and kids to Knots Berry Farm, I told Morgan "hold on to my hand so you don't' get lost" she gives me A LOUD LONG SIGH on top of an EYE ROLL" OH Holy Hell!!!!
Speaking of Knots, we all went on the Log Ride, I have no words to describe it so I will just have to post a picture and you can see for yourselves! On that note I will attempt to blog more Often, Now I get to pick up dog poop, and mow the back yard! YAY ME!
