Merry Christmas!

Well, presents are opened...now when is dinner?

The Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house everyone was stirring even a mouse.
The stockings were hung all over the place because we conserve trees and don't have a fireplace.
The young children were nestled all sung in their quilts while adults sneaked in one more game not feeling any guilt.
Charles in his element while I went to the back, to settle down for a long winters nap
When out in the living room the arose such a clatter I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
The light in the living room hung straight and bright
giving the luster of mid-day to cards in the night
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
but Charles had beat all at UNO
I knew in a moment it was time for a treat
so retreating to the kitchen I made caramel corn in a heart beat
More rapid than eagles like coursers they came
eating it all up before I could blame
now Charles, now Roger, now Carla and Hugh,
now Lyle, now Brent and Elizabeth too,
Out of the kitchen to living room they go
eating the popcorn and putting on a show
There we sat for the rest of the night
enjoying each others company
Oh boy was it a sight!

Merry Christmas!

Standing!

Today Ella stood up all by herself in the middle of the kitchen floor.

Crazy!

Giveaway!

I know this girl who makes some amazing watch bands. These are all the rage right now, so many people have them. What I really like is that you can change watch bands to fit your style of the day while keeping the same watch face. Talk about a great accessory! She is doing a great giveaway on her blog so go and check it out.

umm, thats gross.

I was busy cleaning something in the kitchen when I turned around and found Ella picking items out of the garbage and eating them!

Needless to say I was horrified...


shudder

Sounds of the morning

It is 6:55 a.m.

Starting at about 6:30 I heard Ella making noises, then she started grunting... We all know what that means. Just now she stopped and she started clapping.

Someone stole my information

and is selling it. At least I think so...

I have been receiving all sorts of funny mail. Magazines, letters telling me that my warranty on my car is going to expire and I need to act now etc. Today I received one saying that the KIA Rio I bought two months ago is up for warranty replacement. I registered my car here two months ago, does the DMV sell your information???
