Sher the Love: Bucket Filler

Bucket Filler

I'm already noticing a theme with my bucket fillers. For those of you who are like me, and struggle everyday to "beat the blues", I hope that these little tidbits help to brighten your day, just a little bit. For those of you lucky ones who are blessed to not get the blues, then I hope they will help you be an even better you.

Remember our little walk? Getting our heart pumping? Today, the kids went back to school. Let's continue where we left off on Saturday. While the kiddos are off at school, call a neighbor and go out and walk around the block. If you work during the day, plan to do something when you get home. Or take a walk during your lunch break. If you have little ones at home and it's too cold for the stroller, then pop in an exercise video. If you don't have one, then find the channel FitTV on your TV. They have some awesome exercise shows. If you don't have that channel, then get your little ones to do some simple jumping jacks, pushups and situps. Do as many as you can for 30 seconds. Anybody can go for 30 seconds. Even YOU.

Do something for yourself today and GET ACTIVE! And start doing something active everyday.

What did you say?

My kids say the darndest things, so here are a few examples:

May 2010; TJ said: "Mom, I could count to 300. I could keep counting forever. Even when I'm a sleep."

Mar 2010; C said: "TJ, why don't you have some more bacon?"

TJ: "I can't! I'm full of it!"

C: "Yes, you are."

Mar 2010; TJ sang: ♫"Should I give up, or should I just keep chasin' Cavemen?"♫

Mar 2010; Mom: "Who wants to come with me to Sam's Club?"

TJ & Peter: " Meeee!"

Upon arriving at Sam's, Peter, with a disappointed look said: "I thought we were going to Santa's club. Where are the elves?"

Dec 2009; Peter said: "I just love my chocolate raindrop pointy fings." (hershey's kisses)

Aug 2009: Peter said: "Mama, when you give me kisses it goes straight to my heart."

Aug 2009: TJ, after seeing two guys on motorcycles drive by, one wearing red, and the other in yellow, said: "There goes ketchup and mustard!"

May 2009; KJ said: "I want to be a professional jump roper when I grow up."

Mar 2009; TJ said: "I just love Life!" (talking about the cereal, but I got his double meaning).

Dec 2008; TJ said: "I love shrimp more than people love Jesus!"

Dec 2008; TJ said: "I kindof don't like you, a little bit, Peter. But, I love you more than I don't like you."

Dec 2008: While I was playing the piano and telling TJ to go clean his room, he said: "Other people playing music makes me lazy."

Oct 2008: TJ said: "MOM! Look at me so I know you're listening!"

Oct 2008; TJ said: I don't have a forehead anymore. Now I have a fivehead, and Peter has a threehead, and you have a thirtyhead."

Sept 2008; Peter said: "Mama, I need to call the policeman. Cuz I need to tell him its okay for me to have some fishies."

Sept 2008; Peter said: "I wanna dwinkamikaboo."
Translation: I want a drink of milk in a boo.

Translation of the translation: A boo is a sippy cup. All three of my kids have used this term. I'm pretty sure it stemmed from boob.

Sept 2008; Peter said: "Mama, what are you doing in there? Are you stinkering?"

Sept 2008; KJ & TJ said: "No, Mom, you just don't get it!"

Aug 2008; TJ said: (during sacrament meeting) "This is too boring....it's giving me a heachache."

July 2008; TJ's song: ♫"I love my Mom and my Dad and everyone in the whole wide world except the people I don't know and the bad guys."♫

July 2008; KJ said: "I think the worker guys sometimes break the road and fix it again, just for fun."

July 23, 2008; KJ said: "I don't ever wanna live away from the mountains, cuz I don't want a tomato to get me."
Translation: tornado
