The Hand of Ice, A Pee Strike & I got ID'd at Office Max

My children have sticky fingers.
And I don't mean literally.

Every time we end up in an emergency room, or doctor's office, or hospital,
they pilfer medical gloves.

They can't seem to resist.
They just grab two or three...

and then they bring them home to blow up like a balloon or just play with.

And I tweeted about it recently...
to which I received a reply from the Screwed Up Texan:


Have you ever made ice hands out of latex gloves?
Freeze over night and then dip quickly in hot water to release from glove.

I told my boys about this,
and of course, they had to try it.

And that's how we ended up with the HAND OF ICE in our freezer.

It's cool...and creepy.

And yes, I think it's already ended up on the dog and down someone's pants.

Speaking of the dog...she's on a pee strike.

Because it's been raining.

She LOVES to swim...but hates the rain.

I open the backdoor to let her outside...and she just stares at me like I'm nuts.

We went to Office Max yesterday...

Home of the rubber band ball.

And I got ID'd when we went to check out.

I kid you not.

I was ID'd trying to buy this:

I'm not sure if I'm flattered...or horrified that it's come to this.
