Christmas Day

Wow, what a blur. The kids woke us up at 6:03 and it was all over by 6:30. I didn't even get to have my coffee first. They were so excited, though. It is now 8:30 and I am getting ready for round two, when Grandmommy and Poppy get here. We do have a bit of cleaning up to do. The kids received silly string in their stockings and it ended up all over Macs car. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Dangerous Feats

Mac and I started talking about using the fireplace about two weeks ago. We had a good feeling that they were capped off but we weren't sure. Mac decided he was going to go up and find out. So he started his way up. He quickly learned that it is difficult to get traction on a tin roof. I think it took him 45 minutes to scoot to the first chimney and un-cap it. Then he worked his way to the next, taking many breaks and even a mini-nap. Finally. it was done. We are now enjoying our evening fires. It is wonderful.

Dublin Christmas Parade

Normally, I am not the type to go out and sit in the feezing cold for two hours to watch a parade. However, my children are getting older and that means I will be involved in many activities I don't care for. This evening it was the Dublin Christmas parade. Logan is a Northwest Elementary cheerleader and part of that includes marching every year. She did a very good job, too. Mac had to stay home with Riley, who has an ear infection, and Jordan, who wasn't interested in going. Jordan is 11 years old and not interested in much right now. So.... I was lucky enough to sit all by myself outside in 35 degree weather. Once it started, though, it was good. I am very proud of her and I am happy that she has found something that she really enjoys.

I know, I know...... I'm fired from blogging. But if some of you had any idea how busy I have been......I know, no excuses. I will be posting this weekend so all of you check back sometime this weekend for a family update.
