Fragrant Friday Fotos

Snippets of the last week at the House of Fragrant Liar . . .

Binky Boy, aka Homey Destructo
In a rare moment of calm. And then . . .

Whatchu lookin' at?
What powder? Desitin? Me?

You mean it wasn't like this before?

The warm place where the muse (the mews?) resides.



Home improvement and berber carpet repair. With a flathead.

For fans of Miss America, this is me and the girl, just hanging out like we usually do.

Pssst....I think your little boy is snorting sand in his room, just an fyi.
Miss America is too cute. I cracked up at how fast that cat ran off of the bed.

Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth eh?
Just as well it was only powder and not something like peanut butter!
Cute wee video too!

These are great pictures and the video was too cute. But my favorite part was when you told her to get off the bed and she said "k" and then... DID! My kids are like that, I LOVE kids like that!

Mike said...

The picture with the powder on the face is priceless! Were you pissed after you took the pic? all that powder on the floor!

The photos are priceless! I miss my guys being little boys! As for Berber carpet repair, I've used a hook needle and it works great with a hot glue gun!
Happy Friday!

Love your adorable little Miss America and all that energy. Don't you love the way they talk so fast sometimes that they have to take a big breath between sentences? Such a crack up.

P.S. I like to sick my hat on my butt sometimes too! LOL

Love to see Miss America in action.
Your "Mews" - too funny.
Destructo - too cute.
Your voice - Did you ever notice how much you sound like Pseudo? Weird.

Destructo likes to mix his cocktails. He combined powder + Desitin, so my daughter couldn't even get the stuff off his face! And I didn't show you the pic with the powder caking his clothes in his drawer. The kid is relentless. Good thing he's cute.

These are the cutest kids. I can't wait to have grandchildren. That Miss America is a trip and I too like to wear my hat on my butt.

All cute photos! And your hair looks great now, btw. Though you hated it to begin with, it's really grown into quite the cut.

Julie D said...

OMG, could he be any cuter? Such an innocent little face. Those are the ones to watch out for!

That cat was out of there! Desitin and powder. Too cute. I guess I gravitate toward the boys. Such a comfortable relationship you have with Miss America. I can learn from you for the future.

holy crap what a mix, desitin and powder! yikes. funny though when it's someone else who has to clean it up. miss america is as cute as ever.
i've started closing my laptop when i get up because the girls' cat loves to lay on it. i came back once and she'd messed up the screen size, font size and lord knows what else.

"You mean it wasn't like this before?" Hysterical!!! High 5 for keeping your sense of humor! Have a great weekend.

Your grankids are such cuties! Don't you wish you could bottle up Miss America's energy and use it when you need it? ... and boy can I identify with the messes too!

Just a couple of weeks ago my granddaughter (who is 7) decided to leave her mark on all 88 keys of my piano and with a permanent marker! She did not miss a key, and decided once she marked them all with a big black dot she would connect them!

Talk about some muscle and Mr. Clean to the rescue!

Awww....you're all adorable!

Justine said...

You are SO pretty! And man, that first pic of Mr. Destructo is just hysterical. He's got such a bad-ass look about him, especially with the position he's holding himself in! I bet your house smells good now with all that powder sinking into the carpet fibers.

Justine :o )

Vic said...

They are so cute!! (even the cat.)

Will you teach me how to repair carpet? Or just rip it out in retaliation for its sheer ugliness? Let me know. :)

Must watch out for the innocent looking ones!

Nancy said...

Desitin Boy - how cute! These are very precious moments, my dear, enjoy!

bernthis said...

my kid once put a whole tube of vaseline on her legs. Ay!

Madame DeFarge said...

Your home looks rather tidier than mine does just now. The children look wonderful. But be careful where you put that flathead. A girl could do some damage unsupervised.

Michel said...

wow. you do NOT look like a granny! I gotta tell you!! (for some reason my puter won't let me play any videos - even here!, but I hear that it was funny!)

So your room is going to smell like someone blew up a bottle of Loves Baby Soft for weeks to come.

That's not all bad.

Oh wait...yes it is.

Wunderwoman said...

Adorable grand kids. I wish I had 1/10th their energy..

Pop and Ice said...

I'm lovin your hair color and do. You look great!

Kimberly said...

What a cool powder room. Can I get the name of your decorator?

L'Adelaide said...

this made me miss my kids when they were this little excepting then I saw the mess on the floor and thought, maybe not....but they are sure little cuties!!

I just laughed and laughed at the photos of your little boy. How funny! Miss America IS truly a princess. Thank you for sharing them with us.
