Welcome to the personal blog of Jo Beaufoix, writer, mother, and now, pro blogger.

I’m a farm in Malaysia

There’s a story to the first bit of todays post.

It is long. Are you ready?

So, Groovy Mom’s son, superdork made this video, or at least added his own bits…

“I’m a firin’ ma laser”

And in response,

Holly’s kids, Queen of Hearts and The Thrower, made this

And Miss E and Miss M loved it so much they decided to make this with the puppets Holl sent. Please forgive the gormless sounding woman on this. I cannot explain it. I am much more sophisticated in real life.
And I’m so sorry I can’t imbed these from youtube, I tried, but wordpress doesn’t seem to like it. If anyone has any ideas then I’d love to know how to make it work.

And I did try to teach Miss M the proper words, but I’m still getting, “I’m a farm in Malaysia.”

Or maybe she’s trying to tell me something??

Anyway, I have awards to bestow, and to thank some lovely people for.

The first is this one from my gorgeous and fabulous mate Rosie at Parenting Issues,parentingissuesuk_award_2.jpg

And I bestow it upon:

Belle for performing duties beyond the call of parenting.
Corey
for being such a cool mum who remembers to take her camera everywhere and offers Sugarbear unique opportunities to grow and learn.

Thanks Rosie.

Oh, and this is she, if anyone was wondering what Rosie looks like.

Isn’t she a doll? (Snort.)

Next, I received this little gem from the wise and wonderful Sweet Irene at Sweet Wood Talking,

And I’m passing this on to these dudes, because I can, and they’re just a few of those bloggers I heart.
Holly
Rosie
Cami
Corey
Kim
Leendaluu

Thanks lovely Irene. :D

And lastly, this from the warm and witty and just plain lovely Belle at Diary of a housewife who I will soon be sharing air with, and coffee/booze and giggles.

I can’t wait.

    trying deperately to get the thirteen year old Mustang Girl to let me video her firing a laser, now. (She doesn’t want to be a farm in Malaysia)

  5. Maria 09 April, 08 @ 3:46 pm

    Congrats on all the awards!!!

  6. holly 09 April, 08 @ 4:00 pm

    oh i frickity-frackity loved the puppet show!!! niiicely done. i can’t wait to get the live version!

    we were a bit busy tonight, so they won’t see this until tomorrow, dangity dang dang.

    i wonder what a farm in malaysia would be like?

    i wonder how superdork feels about his fame?

    coffee/booze? we’re going to have coffee/booze with belle? i’ve never had coffee/booze!

  7. leendaluu 09 April, 08 @ 6:38 pm

    oh thank you! I seem to have accumulated a closet of bling that I have not shared so ithink I will get off my duff and display and forward

    I think I would quite like a farm in malaysia…I would bring my cows and also farm shrimp which are quite tasty.

    And so don’t believe holly and her claim that she has never had coffee/booze. Hello?! Kahlua!

  8. Groovy Mom 09 April, 08 @ 9:40 pm

    Awwww, that was sweet! I love that little “beep beep” lol!

  9. Dumdad 10 April, 08 @ 4:14 am

    Get your head out of the sand, Babs, and hurry back!

    P.S. Oooo-er, missus, a lovely award. Merci bucket.

  10. Momo Fali 10 April, 08 @ 9:09 am

    Mwah to you! I have said that before…that our house is like some bad sit-com.

    I want booze and giggles!! But, instead all I seem to get is cold coffee and grief.

  11. Jo Beaufoix 10 April, 08 @ 12:48 pm

    My internet is down. Help. I came to Rosie’s to do a post but realised I’d brought the wrong password. Duh. I’m not too well today, I think I’ve gone slightly mad, but I’ll be back tomorrow, hopefully if my internet is back. Holl, you’re right, I think the computer God is angry with me. Sighhhhhh. Anyone else having ntl/virgin media problems??

  12. Rosie 10 April, 08 @ 1:13 pm

    Jo, good to see you today. You’re not going mad, you are exhausted. Have a rest and chill a bit. Remember you do not have to post every single day. Your readers will still keep coming back. Chill honey!

  13. Crazycath 11 April, 08 @ 4:06 am

    You mean the words AREN’T “I’m a farm in Malaysia”?

    Well done on your awards (mucho deserved) and well done to everyone who got ‘em off you! I go to most of them and I agree with you - fab blogs.
    Ab fab darlink.

  14. Jo Beaufoix 12 April, 08 @ 1:54 pm

    Corey, I do, even though you are blogging at work, bad girl. ;)

    Belle, me too sweetie. :D

    Mie, I bet she’d make a really cute farm though…or a cute farm hand, or something. ;)

    Maria, thanks. :D

    Holl, I reckon a Farm in Malaysia would be hot and dusty and laser free. But I could be wrong. Superdork has really started something. He’s a star.

    Lee, I reckon you’re right. Holl has definitely had coffee booze, and boozy coffee. She’s a right boozer.

    Thanks Groovymom. That kid of yours has started something. :D

    Dumdad, she is back. I’m so relieved. And it’s a pleasure. :D

    Momo, hee hee, but who wants a dull life right?

    Rosie, thanks hon, but I need to blog everyday. It makes me write. I have to write. Thanks for the love, and for listening to my madness. ;D

    Crazycath, nope. But Miss M was definitely hearing that. And they are a fab bunch of bloggers aren’t they? I love them all loads. Stolly bolly darling sweetie?
