Master Manipulator

I've been traveling all day with my husband and my brother.
Quote of the day from my brother Michael:
We are not troublemakers. I would never encourage that.

He continues...
I just manipulate the trouble that's already there.

Happy 4th of July!

A Scrivnerburg Postulate:
If Gavin holds an object it becomes his.
Therefore, if he carries the hamburger buns in from the car they become his own personal property, suitable for play, cuddles, and leaving on the floor.
This has been a public service announcement.

On a related note - we need more hamburger buns.

I can't think straight

Conversation Scrivnerburg:
Kristi: "I can't think."
Mom: "I believe you think just fine."
Kristi: "Sometimes I think fine. Sometimes I can't think straight."
Kristi again: "Sometimes I think sideways."

Never has she made a more true statement.

Have you ever wondered...?

Nathan is on a roll today. We're sitting around the morning campfire just enjoying the quiet when he tosses out a random question. 
"Why ARE there so many songs about rainbows?"

Weirdos

Conversation in Scrivnerburg: 
Dad to Kristi: So what's your devious plan? 
Kristi: To turn my brothers into weirdos. 
Dad: I think it worked.

Do you use Google Reader?

Hi friends. If you’re following my funny family using Google Reader it’s time for a change! You probably already know that Google Reader is going away, so you know that you need to find a new way to follow your favorite blogs. The one I have decided on is Bloglovin’ – it is actually easier and has more features that Google Reader, so I’m very pleased with it.

I know this blog has been quiet for a while, but I will be back, and I hope you’ll be here when I do!

Don’t look, boys!

Conversation in Scrivnerburg:
Mom: Kristi, why did you turn that show off? We were watching that.
Kristi: It had an inappopiate part - the girl had a zucchini. The boys shouldn't see that.
Mom: Do you mean "bikini"?
