tedward and i laughed a whole lot last night.
it all began with us laughing out of sheer fear of nancy pelosi.
it doesn't matter what emotion that she is feeling, she always has the same face!
and that face resembles Eyzma's from "emperor's new groove".
we laughed and laughed.
and then we laughed some more, after out fear again, when we got our job at church.
we will be teaching the 5 year olds for 2 hours.
and we are told it's the biggest group.
and "they take a while to settle down".
hmm. we pulled out our version of "the good stuff" aka, golden spoon, and ate ourselves tipsy.
and laughed and laughed.

the real doozy was when i asked ted to rub my feet.
you see, i was laying in bed, and ted was walking by the foot of the bed.
i slyly pushed my feet out of the end of the comforter and wiggled my feeties at him.
no words were said. he knew his duty, and he knew he needed to perform the task pronto.
as i relaxed and closed my eyes, preparing myself for the gloriousness of a foot rub....
he ATTACKED! and by ATTACKED i mean he assaulted me with foot tickles.
um. no.
rule number one of living with lauren is NO NO TICKLES! i haaaate tickles.
so when he held my ankles down with his iron grip, and tickled my feet into submission, i knew something had to be done and i knew it needed to be done fast.
i said a quick mental prayer for Hulk-strength to take over my body, and hello...it worked!
my ankles broke free and i started to feverishly kick. i kicked as hard as i could.
anything to get those grubby little tedward hands out of the reach of my feet!
he then exclaims, "WATCH OUT! I DON'T WANT YOU TO KICK ME 'THUUUR'. YOU MIGHT CAUSE US TO HAVE DEFORMED KIIIIIIIIDS!"
i then calmly said, "hmm. i am pretty sure we secured our fate of deformed kids when we started making fun of certain babies."
his response? "touche."
and then we laughed for a good 10 minutes more.

I hate being tickled more than anything. I hope you didn't get him there. Deformed kids would take a while to get used to.
:) You and Ted are awesomespice!
Congrats to M'Liss and her daughter, it sounds like she's a very deserving winner!!!
Laughter (and well, Love, too) makes the world go 'round! :D
btw, i'm really loving the fringe. if i didn't have cowlick issues i'd probably have fringe myself. :P
*shudder* I hate feettickles too *goosebumps*
#paulwesleysabs nite!
& congratz to MLiss!
You two sound like you have such fun together. I love that. :)
Congrats M'Liss I'm sure your daughter will LOVE the necklace!
I am really really glad the lady who won did. Her comment touched my heart.
Also, I hate the tickles! In HS I had some friends who always tickled me and I would kick and scratch with all my might...if I hurt them, I figured they were asking for it. ;)
Ha ha ha, I love this post! It cracks me up and makes my heart smile! :)
I hope when I get married that we are ebst friends like you and Ted are, not just husband and wife, but best friends.
Laughter is the best! It's always good when a couple can laugh together! 5 year olds are adorable! You will have so much fun. Just roll with the flow!
M'Liss, congrats to you and blessings to your daughter!! Hey! I knew another M'Liss years ago! She thought she had a unique name!
I know M'Liss and her daughter well and let me just say that you could not have picked a better recipient! (Even it was just the random generator.)
You guys are silly!
Can you pleeeeeease bring back the Vampire Diaries commentary? It was the best...
I seriously wish I could pull off "fringe" like you
I commit acts of bodily harm to those who tickle my feet. And I do bite hard when needed.
I love that you and the Tedward laugh at stuff and at yourselves. It's the best. You guys are truly in love.
You are such a wonderful couple :)
How cute are you guys!?! reminds me of pre kidlet days...
as for the 5 year olds.... good luck, I had that age last year... they are really cute and the lessons are super basic... if you bring treats, you'll be their favorite people all year! Actually you guys probably won't need the treats.
YAY!! I am so excited about winning the necklace. My daughter is Addison and she comments on your blog quite often. She entered to win a necklace just like this before and was so disappointed when she lost. I looked into getting one for her but they were going to be too expensive. When she saw that I won she came running into my room and was screaming because she was so excited. I can't tell you how excited we both are. We both love to follow your blog and are often inspired to go "thrifting" for dresses after seeing the cute outfits you find.
aw me and my husb had that calling! & we loved it...5 year olds can be a handful, but they are so cute and fun too.
i was just telling boyfriend tonight that my feet are the most ticklish part of my whole body!...you see...it's spa night tonight with me and boyfriend...:)
got to go!
hahah sounds fun! We teach the 5 year old too and let me tell ya.. they NEVER listen.. even when you bribe them with candy, their little minds are always somewhere else. But they are hilarious. You will love it!
Tickling me is the fastest way to incur my wrath. I loathe being tickled and have kicked many a person who's done it in their no no spot.
Congrats to the contest winner!
this is so sweet!! i love it! pure love!
Ahh I also hate tickle fights but I can't help but love them because they make me laugh so hard! & omg the five year olds are so fun I am teaching the five year olds with my husband. Its so fun to tag team with him! We honnestly have the best time in there & the kids are always saying the most hilar things in class and in sharing time I am always smiling.
Good luck Lauren !
i detest being tickled!! my dad tickled me when I was little, and I punched him in the face!! *grins* i didn't mean to cause harm, but I had to do something to get away from the tickles!!!
I love the nights when Clint and I get the giggles and we laugh about anything and everything. :) They're the best
this was one of my favorites to read!.. good times. i just got done teaching the 5 year olds for the last 3 years. last year i had 12 kids! it was crazy, but they say some of the funniest things too. basically i learned that their attention span is about 5 minutes tops, so every 5 minutes we did something new. almost every other week we went on walks around the church doing airplane, big steps, acting like birds..you get the picture. have fun!!
I am scared of Nancy Pelosi, too. She has cyborgface.
I am usually the one tickling the Hubs into submission. He hates tickles, too, so I attack him often with what he calls "Fingers of Funny Death."
I can give you tips for your five year olds if you need them. :) I taught the five year old class at my church for years. You'll do great. You be the teacher and Ted can be "The Enforcer." Maybe he needs a necklace that says that.
Few people put fear into me like Nancy Pelosi. And that's all I'll say about that.
Also, the unwritten rule is that you NEVER make fun of anyone's child...because it will come back on you, ten-fold. Appearance, attitude, behavior, whatever.
Trust me.
p.s. 5 year olds are better than 3 year olds, so count that as a BLESSING! :)
i hate hate hate, double hate, loath entirely, being tickled. and further more, i think feet, knees, elbows and even fists cannot be held responsible for wherever they land if under attack. the end.
and oh, seriously, what is up with pelosi's face? oh she gives me the creeps! and when can we expect a BBL break down of the new vampire diaries episodes? yours are almost better than watching the show. :)
We laughed at nancy pelosi too :)
I teach the five year olds to too!!! They are crazy...but so adorable!!! i Am sure you and Ted will just love it!!
Lauren, I stumbled upon your blog through Mary Liddle's blog. I love it! very cute, very honest, and awesome photos!
I am now a follower!
I hate being tickled and will kick anywhere I need to for it to be stopped. Laughing with your love is one of the best feelings ever.
hahaha! oh wow, I love your nancy pelosi comments. That is one of the funniest things I've heard all day!
ahhh laughing is my favorite thing to ever! this was a great post :)
I love your bangs! You look so dang cute.
a.) You're stunning. Just sayin.
b.) I told my boyfriend that the next State of the Union, I'm going to sneak in and put superglue on Nancy's seat so she'll sit the heck down.
c.) Let's take a poll, who actually enjoys being tickled?
I love nights like those with the boyfriend, we always go to bed with smiles on our faces and wake up that way too.
The funny thing about Sean, my boyfriend, for some reason, he absolutely cannot tolerate tickles on his ribcage, so once I can get some tickles there, I win. :)
i have not commented on here forever because i have just been busy gettin' married and everything! :)
ps i love married life, too.
it is the best :)
love your blog.
and the fact that we can still comment.
!!
yay.
hey there
just wanted you to know, that even though we don't know each other, after a hard day's work i read your blog and it turns my mood around.
so thank you.
How cute! :) I missed the post on the necklace those are adorable and I wish i could have entered. :( but from the looks of it... the winner's daughter deserves it more then I ever would.
I was tickled to see your comment on my blog. I admire your photography skills, cool cameras, and style oh I love it! :) and I made my layout myself so that made me happy to see thank you. you made my day!
so hapy M'Liss won!!! yay for her and addison!
I consider it to be evidence of my wife's deep-seated evil nature that she delights in tickling me. Sitting on my ankles and tickling my feet is a favorite hobby of hers, but she's equally adept at rendering me defenseless by targeting any of my other several dozen weak spots.
Philosophical questions that arise:
1. Why are non-ticklish people so intrinsically fiendish? And
2. How unfair is it that the longer a person lives in the same house as you, the more deft and devastating their facility at tickling you senseless becomes?
