I was raised in a big family with a lot of laughter, especially on my mom's side. My grandfather and my mom's younger brother were hilarious. My brothers and father often joined in. I married a funny man and now I live with four jokers. Our three kids keep things entertaining, especially now that they have studied acting. It's a constant comedy show over here.
My grandfather was such an amazing person. He was forever smiling, being an imp, cracking jokes, and telling stories and tall tales that I think were made up on the spot.
"Grandpa, tell us the story about the time it was so windy that it blew your pants off!" was a common request at holiday meals.
He always used to say, "It doesn't cost anything to laugh!"
He's right. And humor certainly helps to keep me sane.
Next week corner view will be hosted by Cate. Please go to her blog to find out what next week's theme is.

you make me smile
love the dresses,lol
five jokers, I'd say :)
the thing about '... tell me about... when...', it's funny, and universal. we've had it in stages, at our dinner tables and over the years.
i LOVE laughing. :)))
Many smiles to you too!
What amazing photos! While money might make the world go around according to Liza Minelli, laughter makes it worth living.
Such a lot of amazing smiles in your Corner View! :)
Oh the joy of having a little army of comedian/comedienne minions at your disposal! Great collection of shots!
Humor and family! Lucky you are!
I keep your post as a lesson of life!
Have a funny day
Forgot to ask- where is next week's theme? Thanks!
love all the laughing! your family is the cutest. wishing you many giggles in the future!
p.s. i think that i'm supposed to be hosting next week! could you please send people over my way so that they can see the next theme?
Lol!! wow actingclass that will be great fun!
Humor/laughter is one of the most special human emotion, even more than anger or sadness.
Thanks a lot for so much smiling faces!! Happy day today!!
:))
Laughter is a wonderful gift. When my brothers and I are together we get downright silly. Everything to us (to the chagrin of everyone around us) is hilarious!
The trailers to YOU AGAIN look really funny.
Ohhh... these photos are wonderful and full of humor!! I am slowly getting back online and hope to join back in CV. xo
My grandfather used to tell us about how he wrestled with alligators! They were funny indeed.
Thanks for the fun CV:))
Good luck to Annabel and the family acting adventures!
what is more purely joyful than laughter? sounds like you've got it 360, 24/7! good luck to all the family in their endeavors. you have alot on your plates!
Life is better with a smile !
What a great collection of photos! There's no frowning when looking at those, that's for sure. I always wondered what it would be like to grow up in a family of joksters.
Thanks for hosting this "funny" theme. It's going to be a good day. Cheers~
Well done on the theme! Lots of happy and silly moments collected here.

Humor saves me, honestly!

Well, thanks for taking over with a smile :)
OK.. I did a CV post.. kind of but didn't know the theme cos I'm useless like that. Love your pictures.. your family is a hoot. I'm off to see Cate and catch up so I'm ready for next week!!
Love all these smiling pictures. I'm joining you this week - and hoping to be able to keep up with the cornerview. Enjoy visiting your corners :)
Extremely cute post! What a fun family! I'm kind of focusing on several things right now so I may have to take a hiatus from Corner View. Keep up the good work!
Hi Theresa,
What a great post with super sweet photos! It looks like you have a lot of fun with your family. My dad is the one who keeps us laughing.
I had so much fun doing "corner view" posts, but since we added a new little edition to our family, I am finding it difficult to do much posting at all. So unfortunately, I won't be able to join back in on the corner view fun.
Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland
ooh great, love all those smiling faces!
Great post! That first shot should be blown up!!! I hope it is. Wonderful shots.
Have a beautiful weekend!
Your kids are so cute!
And Running Home continues to be one of my Lala's favorites!

Hi Theresa! All my excuses for not having answered earlier your message concerning my participation in the view corner kick of Jane, but the time misses me at the moment to make new comments on my blog. I am available thus more too much to meet these small challenges but I would return there a little later because it is always funny to make. Your series of pictures of the children is beautiful, you indeed have of have fun! Goodbye. Virginia of 24rueL.
