Yikes! I can't say I'd...I'm glad. :)<br /><br />Yikes! I can't say I'd want a gigantic pig named after me. At the state fair each year, they have what they claim to be the world's biggest boar. They usually weigh in at around 1200 pounds. I've never actually seen one move, let alone turn its back on someone.<br /><br />Astounding how big a pig can get. We only let ours grow to about 300 pounds.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-59246651025853368212013-09-10T20:39:12.893-04:002013-09-10T20:39:12.893-04:001.

I don't know what breed she is but she's very pink and very HUGE. I did try to take a photo but she kept turning her back on me so I gave up and snapped a smaller one instead.<br /><br />Tigermousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386636767916316587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-33087851195788444132013-09-07T23:07:37.050-04:002013-09-07T23:07:37.050-04:001.

His little cheeks are flushed. Did anyone else catch the bug from him, or was it an isolated thing?<br />5. I told a 3 year old in my primary class on the second day of school that she was GETTING ON MY VERY LAST NERVE.

It's a beautiful thing to know that it doesn't just happen to me!!<br /><br />I didn't have pigs out this week, but our dog acts like one sometimes. Came home from work and she had rooted the trash cans around, strung out the waterhose and practically ate a toy watering can. About an hour ago, I was changing sheets on the bed b/c they were covered in vomit. I was also shoving a trash can in my kids face trying to prevent mess on the carpet while he's just saying "hold me." :-/<br /><br />I do hope your weekend is lovely!<br /><br />KateSeriously Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10321044809588778953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-13278015592384126862013-09-06T17:06:12.250-04:002013-09-06T17:06:12.250-04:00Your random always puts a smile on my face.

I can't stand the philosophy of "kids are gonna do it anyway." SO many parents take that attitude regarding all kinds of crap/risky behavior. I love the fact that Catholic schools demand parents' input, or the kid goes. Parents have been getting a free ride for a decade or more. OK, off my soap box now.
