I don’t know about you, but Friday calls for some fun. I have a post I am itching to write…but I’m going to sit on it for a bit and save it for Monday. I don’t mean to keep you on your toes, but do you really want to think much on a Friday night? I didn’t think so. And I’m right there with you. Like I said, Friday calls for some fun.

What do I find fun and amusing? Well, a lot of things – like reality TV, reading blogs, and eating frosting. I think you can handle those on your own, though. I also find my kids quite fun and amusing. I’m thinking you don’t have as easy access to their antics..or at least I hope not, you creeper.  

Tonight, I’m going to let them entertain you. I’ve got two videos to share of their cute, adorable ways. Or at least I think so. You can at least pretend to agree with me. After all, telling a mom her kids aren’t cute could perhaps be the biggest faux pas known to man. So watch and love on the little goobers I love so much…and their peekaboo-playing-peanut-butter-finger-eating ways.

Makenzie Loves Peanut Butter Fingers

The other afternoon Makenzie nabbed a jar of peanut butter off the counter. She opened it and started eating peanut butter straight from the jar. I had to capture video for a special friend who I know loves Makenzie almost as much as she loves her own peanut butter fingers.

Braedon & Makenzie Play Peek-A-Boo

If only they could get along that nicely all the time. In a dream world! At least they give it to me on a Friday. Have a good night!

• What is something that made you smile today?

Some days my mind likes to wander to life’s important questions. The meaning of life? My purpose in this world? Am I a good mom/wife/friend? Nah!  I don’t go near that deep on a Friday afternoon. And apparently by Friday afternoon I get hit with a case of the scattered brains. So let’s chat some of life’s other important questions. Like…

Why do the teeny tiniest of paper cuts hurt so flipping bad?

That negligible nick on the tip of my finger has driven me crazy this past week. As much as I type certainly doesn’t help matters either.

How does Chobani do citrus and yogurt together?

Every time I have either pineapple or lemon flavored Chobani I always get slightly weirded out. I  mean, in order to make buttermilk you combine milk and lemon. WHY doesn’t the yogurt get clumpy and funkified when sitting in a container with a dollop of lemon or pineapple? A great mystery to me.

Why does Makenzie insist on dressing in frills almost every other day of the week…but come school picture day I have to pull teeth to get her into a cute outfit?

Although I bet if I let her wear the purple tutu for pictures she would have been all over that.

Why does your own voice always sound so funny when you hear it played back? The recording from yesterday’s radio show is now up on the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy blog. I had so much fun but it still sounds so weird to me to listen back to it.

If you’re interested, you can catch it here.  

Why am I always hungrier on rest days? Seriously. I’m insatiable today! But I will happily go with it. I have no problem eating.

Who would get a 4 handed massage?

I recently received a group coupon deal in my email for a four handed massage. I’m all about massages, but that’s an area where I feel less is more. I don’t really know why, but it just seems borderline kinky. 

Why can I only choose one giveaway winner? It’s a bummer, but those are the rules. So without further ado…

Congrats, Kris! Email me with your full name and shipping address so I can get your information to Champion pronto.

And be prepared – I could have another workout gear giveaway coming your way next week! But until then…
