Well, here we are halfway through January. We were having snow flurries when the kids went to bed last night. They sure were disappointed when school was running on time this morning. So much for wearing pajamas inside out to make it snow..
CHRISTMAS ‘07 IS NOW CHRISTMAS PAST. Part of our Christmas traditions include getting together with the Ashland City relatives for a holiday dinner. This year it was our turn to go to there. It did not work out for us to go until Saturday and it was a wonderful visit. Judging from the volume, the kids really enjoyed each other as did the adults. We were really late getting home that night. Now Amanda, who had unintentionally left her Christmas tree up, can take down her decorations and get ready for Baby Dee #3 who is due February 26.
GAMECUBE ON THE BRAIN. I guess I was this way when I was a kid and had my old Atari 2600, but it is simply amazing how well those boys know their games. Nate gets so excited and comes to tell me about all they’ve done and I’m left going, “Uh-huh, yeah.” The other morning I woke him up and he was a little put out with me for doing so. It seems I woke him out of “the bestest dream ever” where he was actually playing inside a video game that was a cross between Monkey Ball and Lego Star Wars.
SHOOTING ME THE LOOK. Sometimes it is so easy to get Ben’s goat. One way to do that is to start talking about the cute little patch of freckles on his nose. Here lately I’ve found something else that really makes him cut his eyes at me. You see, I’ve explained to him that you know a dog is healthy when his nose is cold. Now when he gives me a kiss before he gets on the school bus I’ll say, “Yep, you’re healthy!”
WHAT’S THAT NAME AGAIN? Over the course of time we have picked up the first and second seasons of The Waltons on DVD and Jenna has discovered these. What made me crack up was when she proudly announced to me that she was in the middle of watching The Watsons. So if you want to make her blush....
