Look at that swing...

Woohoo! John made the golf team. We are so proud and excited for him. There are 15 students on the team and they have to claw their way to the top 4 to have their scores counted. He was the underdog to start with so there is no telling how far he will go. Way to go John! You're awesome! Perseverance and hard work! That's what you're all about!

Thompsonisms, take 3

OK, OK, I know you are getting sick of them by now, but I feel like I have to put them in so I can come back and read this years from now and have a good laugh. I don't want to forget.

Pancakes, I want some

We get to pack the swimming suits

Shiny things

Nice hair, chair, mare, lair (....anything that rhymes with air)

That should just about wrap it up.....for now.

World's Dumbest Presents.......

World's Dumbest Exterminators.......

John, Ethan, and Dakota decided to "exterminate" the bees. Well, before I get ahead of myself.....we have an underground nest of bees on the left side of our house. We have tried covering the hole to encourage them to move away, but it didn't work. So, the boys decided today was the day to send the bees packin'. Dakota, lead dumbest exterminator peed on the nest (boys!!????). Smart Move! John and Ethan then tried to flood the nest with the water hose. John got stung 7 times, Ethan 2 times, and Dakota one time. It's been an eventful day! It was quite a site seeing them run in the door and through the house. Bees 1, "exterminators" 0.

El Thompson Restaurante

Dinner was terribly fun tonight. The boys decided they were going to make quesadillas. Dakota is the guy in the middle. He is practically a Thompson. They even fried their own chips and didn't burn the house down. Emily was the entertainment. She was a standup comedian (she had one good joke). And Ethan said (in response to Emily's very bad jokes) "What smells rotten and puts people to sleep?" And without missing a beat Emily said "John's farts". That's our graceful, petite, little Emily for ya. We could NOT stop laughing. It was SO funny!

So, here is Emily's one good joke---Emily--Do you think you will remember my name tomorrow? Me--sure. Emily--Do you think you will remember my name in two days?.....next week?.......next month?.....Me--sure, sure, sure. Emily--knock knock. Me--Who's there? Emily--see, you forgot it already. It really was funny.

Kathy Jo Thompson, RN, BSN, MSN, FNP-BC

I PASSED my certifcation exam!! Woohoo!! I am a Family Nurse Practitioner! And I have 13 letters I can add behind my name. (Wonder if that's bad luck??--Nahhhh!) That was a HARD test!

AND I got flowers!! My sweet parents in Oregon sent me flowers! I never get flowers. What a treat! They smell so good and I keep them in the fridge at night so they will last as long as possible.

AND my mom gave me shopping. Can't wait to go and have a day out at the mall. AND John has mailed me chocolates from Germany. REALLY looking forward to that.

With all this special attention maybe I will just go BACK to school.....no. Nope. I am done! And I think my family would disown me.

It is good to be loved! I am a lucky girl.

Thompsonisms, take 2

Some I forgot....Emily helped me remember.....

I love you, I love you, I love you ( you have to say it like Buddy the Elf)

Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?

Can I offer you a cup full of shut up?

Whatnot

Shut up, no you shut up, no you shut up, no you shut up

Congratulations, the world's best cup of coffee (seeing a trend here?)

Have you seen these toilets, they're ginormous (what family doesn't say this over and over?)

Put that in your bubble gum wrapper and chew it

I had these rolling through my head last night so I had to get 'em down before I forgot them and I had one on the tip of my brain but it left me before I could get it typed out. So, look out for Thompsonisms Take 3.

The things we say in our family that only we really know about. I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them all right now (I'll add them when I think of them). They're fun. They make us giggle. It's good to be a Thompson.
