Fast, Furious, and Fun

Christmas has come and gone. It seems to do that faster and faster every year! Here is a journal of the events in our house.

Ready? ...

Here we go...

For us, the break started on Friday the 18th. Shawna and the kids went half a day to school and got home around noon. Shawna and I decided to take the kids to the babysitter's house so that we could go and celebrate our anniversary. We had a great time .... I supersized the meal for our anniversary! Then we went shopping.

Saturday was fun and a good break from the routine. Sunday? Well, it was Sunday and I had to work just like every other Sunday. Not to worry though. That is my job. We decided to have our family Christmas Monday so the kids could play with thier toys before we left town. It was a good night together.

Tuesday, I had a doctor's appointment. You will be happy to know I am just as crazy as ever. While we were in town, JT picked out his final gift - a Nintendo DSi. He loved it and Kaylee inherted his Nintendo DS. She plans on buying some games with her Christmas money. We enjoyed Tuesday. We would have celebrated Christmas on Tuesday but I had a Bible study planned. It did not work out. Such is life.

We are still in the middle of a bathroom remodel. Wednessday was spent puting in the floor and cutting the vinal to fit to the place. Then, we got to a stopping point - you know those points where you have to stop becuase you have to make a run to town to get some supplies you did not think about becasue you are an amature? Yea, it all concluded around 3:00 PM and there was no time to do anything else with Bible class that evening.

Then, the fun began...

We took off Wednesday evening after services and drove through the rain. There was rain. There was more rain. There was a lot of rain. The trip took about an hour longer because of the rain. Rain. Rain. Rain. Rain.

We stayed at the wonderful Days Inn until about 7:00 AM Thursday morning. We went to Shawna's folks for most of the trip. We spent Thursday, Friday, and left Saturday morning around 10:00 AM after a wonderful breakfast. The time at her folks went like this: JT played with Nickolas. Kaylee played with Adam, when he was willing. Shawna and the women played cards and did women things. The guys (except me) did farm work. I worked on the computer. Amber, thanks for the text. I needed the laugh!!

We met my folks on the way home. It was about an hour drive for them. It was on the way for us. We did Christmas at the Pizza Hut! I have never done that before. Whew! You think I am making that part up! We spent about two hours with them and then JT went home with them for the week. JT and Dad plan on building a desk during the week. JT is surely decarling his independence as he did not even tell us bye until we asked him to do so. Shawna, Kaylee and I got back home around 7:30 PM after some stops to buy some supplies for the bathroom remodel. Sunday was normal. Here I am blogging on Monday. So, life it good.

More to come on the continuing break. And, more to come about the bathroom remodel. We might even post some pictures.

That's all folks!

See ya!

Have a great day!

Hasta la vista, baby!
