ReplyDeletenevermind it's up now!
ReplyDeleteIM me what blog you went to.
ReplyDeleteDena's at the second!!!
ReplyDeletenope, it was the right blog...that was weird!
ReplyDeleteCool--Nevermind!
ReplyDeleteDena--I loved your comment about refraining from flushing the toy. That took restraint. Especially since I bet you're the one that has to disinfect that sucker.
ReplyDeleteDena, I haven't heard a peep from your kids. Have you?
ReplyDeleteone of them is in my lap! this is hard!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's why thy are so quiet! And you are a superstar racer and mother!
ReplyDeleteomg guys I have no idea!
ReplyDeleteDid you check the FAQ in the Everything Else page?
ReplyDeleteI DID IT!
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteThar she blows! Dena at clue 3. Probably juggling juice and diaper changing too.
ReplyDeleteHow about those comments folks? Dena has pulled some power comments in her mad dash.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm going to give this a try. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteKris

ReplyDeleteAnd that last comment, Dena? Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat run!
We have agreed wait to check on phrases until the end of the game this time. So folks keep posting comments and unscrambling even though our first commenter has made it to all five clues.
Ok - I was so excited to find clue #2 that I almost forgot to look for John's clue. Yikes.
ReplyDeletecoolness! How fun was this! Thanks Guys!
ReplyDeleteKris--it's funny what this game does to your brain.
ReplyDeleteDena--woo-hoo! Nice run!
So, Dena is waiting breathlessly until the Award Ceremony on Friday, to see if her phrase was right, and whether she won the Award for First Place!
ReplyDeleteDena, Thanks to you and your kiddos. They are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhere in the Blogosphere is Kris? Have we had a sighting?
ReplyDeleteKris, have you commented at 2?
ReplyDeleteOMG -- it takes energy to come up with something really insightful and funny. I fear I can't compete w/ Dena. But I found #3.
ReplyDeleteDena--that makes your comment even so much funnier. ROTFL!
ReplyDeleteYay, to finding three, Kris.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Dena, I want that when I write!!!
ReplyDeleteKris--you're selling yourself short--anyone who can reference Prof. McGonagall's transformation is a commenting guru!
ReplyDeleteKris, squirrels count! Totally.
ReplyDeleteLOL - well, I found #4. Did I not comment at 2, though? I thought I did. I'm on to #5.
ReplyDeleteKris you commented at 2. I think it took a moment to stick.
ReplyDeleteKris' showing commenting acumen at 4!
ReplyDeleteAnd--Kris--you're flying through! It's crazy how fast you're solving these clues!
ReplyDeleteI might be stumped - having trouble finding 5. I've got 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteHave you googled with "blog'?
ReplyDeleteAnd check out what it says about capitalized words in the Everything Else page :)
ReplyDeleteNumber five is tough.
ReplyDeleteTotally tough!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! Kris made it to stop five! Nice race, Kris!
ReplyDeleteWell, clearly google is better than ask.com or norton or whatever I was searching with. I would have been done 10 minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteWhew. I'm spent for the day. Time for a quick nap before I pick up the munchkin. I'm supposed to be working on revisions. But this was fun guys! Thanks for letting me play!
I'm kidding about the nap, lest you get the wrong idea.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Kris thank you for playing!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe nap was funny.
ReplyDeleteI think Laura might be playing! I'm seeing her out in the blogosphere--Laura make sure to sign in here so we know to put your comments in the hat for awards!
ReplyDeleteGo Laura! She's one of my awesome crit partners. Or at least one of the Lauras is. I guess there could be more than one...
ReplyDeleteOnly one Laura I know! At least in the blog world.

ReplyDeleteAnd there she is!!!
ReplyDeleteLaura, I love the inter-comment-textuality!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm off! I went to #3 first and already left a comment before the game started. Do I comment again or do I take the clue and run with it?
ReplyDeleteYay, Kelly! Stop by again and leave a second comment that points to your first? Does that feel right to you?
ReplyDeleteTake that first question mark off there. I didn't mean that to be a question.
