25 Things

I have been tagged several times to do the '25 Random Things About Me.' I have decided to post it here instead of facebook. I also decided that I'm not interesting enough to have 25 whole things just about me. So, this list is going to include these four Schrib's....starting with me of course.

Missy:

1. I believe that Sonic is one of the greatest places on earth, and that a Dr. Pepper can cure most of the things that go wrong in my life.
2. My closet is ALWAYS super messy. If Lanny and I had to share a closet, our marriage might be in trouble.
3. I love to try new recipes (as long as they are easy). I like try at least one new recipe every week.
4. I had to drop bowling class in college because I was going to fail it, and I didn't miss one class. However, I am totally awesome at the bowling game on the Wii.
5. I refuse to drink milk, and I eat my cereal dry.
6. I will turn the big 3-0 in August.

Lanny:
7. He asked for a door knob for Christmas...and got it.
8. He likes to make up new lyrics for existing songs.
9. He still drives the two-door Honda Accord that he got in 1999.
10. He goes overboard with the use of the...ellipsis (...)
11. One thing I appreciate most about him is that he makes me laugh. I'm not sure what that says about my sense of humor, but, at least I think he's funny!
12. He claims that red starburst make his "eyes sweat."

Ben:
13. Ben is tall, he is a little over 3 1/2 feet in height.
14. He loves to play the Wii, and he has created two of his own characters. One of them has an afro.
15. He loves to pretend that we are all different super heros. He is usually either Spiderman or Captain America. Lanny is either Batman or Superman. Lindley is 'flower girl' (whoever that is). I am, of course, Wonder Woman.
16. He loves most things that are sweet; ice cream and cookies being favorites.
17. He is fascinated by the Schwann man. He gets very excited when the Schwann man comes over and often pretends he is Schwann man.
18. He also loves Power Rangers. He is not allowed to watch Power Rangers because he always ends up waking up scared at night after he has watched it (that and Scooby Doo).

Lindley:

19. She has tiny feet.

20. She loves to dance!

21. She has many words (and adding them daily), but still doesn't call me mama. She can say the ma-ma sound, but doesn't say it in reference to me.

22. She loves guacamole! She will eat all of it off of the chip, and leave the chip for more guac!
23. Our nanny calls her "Cheecha." Apparently this is a term of endearment where she is from.
24. Her favorite word is "cracker."

Our Family:
25. In August, these four Schrib's will become five.

You are so funny! And you are definitely interesting enough for your own 25 things, but I loved the family breakdown. Lanny's red starburst theory is hilarious, and I LOVE that Lindley is a guacamole girl! :) Great entry!

I am glad Lanny was a good boy and got what he ask for, including a net to clean the swimming pool, but don't let him forget he is not off the hook yet, I am still planning on sitting him down before next Christmas and showing him what a REAL list looks like!!! Miss you guys so much and love you more!!!
