I did my best to fill Spring Break with lots of fun activities. You know doing my best to redeem myself of the horrible mothering over the past few months in just a few short days. I looked outside one afternoon and it was windy, almost hurricane like, hmm what a perfect day to fly a kite.
Now I have never been able to "get it up", ever. I have always had to rely on my husband or Brother-in-law for all kite flying fun. It obviously is a male ability!
But with winds like this how could I not Get It Up?!!?
I bought a super cool kite that came with idiot proof flying instructions. Well let me introduce you to the village idiot!
Yes, I attempted to fly the kite near the house, the trees, the play set, the neighbors house and their trees while refusing Peanuts advice to run. Things on this body move and jiggle that have no place moving and jiggling when I run! I'm just saying. That's why when I do run it's early in the morning or once the sun has set as to not traumatize my neighbors!
Anyway, this is what happens when the village idiot flies a kite near the house.
and the shrubs
and this is the face that Peanut makes when she knows Mommy can't see her when I say "Dammit, do it again...DO IT AGAIN!" (her friend was the event photographer). Ahhh such good times for my little Peanut and her "special" Mommy!
For the record Babe took her out yesterday with mild winds and was successful in his launch of the kite from hell. So, like I said I need to either forget about ever flying a kite again or go pick up that prescription of Viagra.
Happy Wednesday Y'all!

LOL! i love how you turn flying a kite,unsuccessfully, into such a hilarious story!!
You are hysterical! Someone could tell you to piss off/go fly a kite and you can honestly say, sorry, no can do.
Peanut's expression is priceless!
Love that you tried. I can join you in the village of idiots as I cannot get a kite to fly either!
Love the kite story! Thanks for the laugh. :)
Too stinking funny!!!
I too am the village idiot when it comes to flying kites.
Popping in from SITS.
Kites - I think they were made by idiots! My Dad INSISTS on flying one every year at the beach and then we all end up holding the string - ugh. But yeah for you for trying, these are the things they remember, right?
Oh I tried to fly a kite on Sunday here in TX and the gusting winds weren't having it. MY kiddos were so disappointed. Last year we had a great time flying it, until ours got caught in the satellite dish as well!!
It's fun being a mom, eh?

How funny is that. I will join you in the village of idiots. I was thinking I should buy a kite to fly with Trey but you just reminded me that this is a son and dad activity. Thanks for sharing! Have a great Wednesday!
Laughing WITH you, not at you! ;)
Hope you enjoyed Spring Break with the girls!
that is too funny! I'm like that too...sometimes the most simple things get me all tied up in knots! =)
oK...I just pee'd in my pants! Seriously....you have to stop that! YOU need to be on SNL. When are we going to open mic night in Ybor! I'm gonna make you go up there. Girlfriend we have to catch up...I've been swamped. Off in the morning thought if you want to do breakfast.
hugs,
Flying a kite is a stressful endeavor! I would have to go out into a field or something---or I would probably lose the darn thing.
so funny! i've never been able to fly a kite either. love that you said you needed viagra. you crack me up.
we for sure need to get together when I'm down there in december! it's the first full week of decemeber and we'll be there from friday-saturday.
I always love your posts, I'm just finally getting caught up on them from the week! Love the kite experience, and that you might possibly need viagra...too funny!
