The Keene's hit Menard's, not long ago, in search of a new door bell. FYI-Justice broke ours last September playing Handy Manny at the front door with his child size hammer.
Life lesson #212 Don't take your four year old to the door bell aisle. Menard's offers 20 or more door bells, in working order, so the average customer can hear the chime. Well, Justice is NOT the average customer and I am pretty sure shoppers left the door bell aisle because we were so annoying. Chime, Ding dong, Diiinnnnggg, Ching Ching, and an array of songs from Christmas carols to....the Star Spangled Banner!? Justice talked the family into the bell that played 15 songs, INCLUDING the Star Spangled Banner. Honestly, don't you think its only appropriate for a basketball junkie family to have that song played to "tip off" any visitors to our home? Yes, ladies and gentleman I have hit an all time low. I was out numbered on the family vote for the simplest of purchases. The doorbell...I am sure this is the first of many votes I will lose. Oh well, kinda makes me laugh when it rings. Reminds me in this crazy world of being Mrs. Coach Keene, there's NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!
Speaking of Bling..Bling...guess who is winning the NCAA pool at Illini West? Justice Carter Keene! Coach was giving him a bath last week and brought the bracket to his evening duty. Coach Keene gave Justice each choice of teams, while Justice played with his Sponge bob Shaving Kit in the tub. He gave some thought to many of the games, but came up with the winners on his own! No "coaching" from daddy. And on another note, the Sponge bob Set comes with shaving cream, a mirror, a pretend razor and of course, after shave. Hilarious...would love to post those pics, but might get in trouble with the law...
Speaking of the law, had to lay the law down this week when Coach Keene came home with a LIST of camps and coaching clinics he wanted to attend this summer. I had to remind him that LAST summer, while I was ginormously prego (I don't think that is even a word) he was only home 4 weeks...of the entire summer. I always thought the saying was become a teacher for June, July and August? What happened to that? I guess they didn't factor in "driven coach" looking for hot summers in the gym, long walks across college campuses, fundraising dinero from everything from golf tournaments to bake sales and riding in style on a charter bus. Will Coach for food.....
