Oh my goodness! This has been the fastest moving holiday season I have ever had. I'm loving the snow, Jaime and I spent the better part of yesterday looking for a sled, no luck though, I'm pretty sure there isn't a sled for sale in the treasure valley, if anyone knows where we can buy one, let me know! Lots of fun from Christmas here are some of my fav pics.
We had a great weekend, not too many things to do, just enough things to keep us from getting cabin fever. Friday we had movie night, Jaime and I have decided to "educate" our girls in the cinimatic wonders from the 80's and 90's. Don't ask me why, but they can't get enough of movies like "The Neverending story", "The Princess Bride", "Karate Kid", anything with Fred Savage or by Jim Henson. I really get a kick out of how much they love watching these old movies, bad special effects and all. This week it's all about Charlie Brown and Ducktales woo, oo. Now I want to know, what is your favorite movies from when you were a kid? With Thanksgiving and Christmas break comming up, we are going to have a lot of movie time on our hands!
Saturday Jaime and I attempted to clean out the garage, we didn't get very far but it was a noble attempt. We also participated in the Rake up Nampa thing, it was great, he had like 8 of his employee's and their spouses. We got to the house and their was 1 tree, yeah it was super hard work!! Mrs. Palmer was very appreciative though, she gave us cookies!
Sunday was nice, I slept in till 8:30, which is quite a feat in this family of early risers, made a big breakfast and basically vegged for the rest of the day, Jaime went and played B-ball with the guys from church.
Regardless of how you feel about Barack, every American should be proud of the wonderful democracy that we live in. I thought that McCain's concession speech was so gracious,(though I can't say the same for some of his supporters) and I cannot remember a moving speech than Barack's. It was so full of hope, and compassion. Not once did he rub victory in the face of his opponent. The hopes and dreams of so many Americans weigh on his shoulders. I do know for sure that he can't do it alone. I am excited for the future maybe we can really become the "United states of America"
Yeah, I'm back!! We finally have a new computer, we had to go without for a few days and it was pure torture! I loved reading all of your comments for my horrible, terrible, no good very bad day. Here are some pictures of me and my smurflings, along with some other strange people that visited on Friday. Take a look at those eyelashes, let me tell you my eyelids have never been tired before!
The rest of our day has been good, but man I hope I don't ever have another experience like this one again, and let me tell you, I will never go anywhere without my phone again, not even to the mailbox!!!!!
