Snow Day At The Preschool

Last night I was called and asked if I would be able to sub if one of the teachers wouldn’t be able to make it in town because of the weather, and I said I could.  However because of the weather the preschool was canceled for the day.  So, relaxing day of making Christmas presents for me.   I watched Aiden today and when Jessie came back to pick her up she said there was a boil order issued today.

One Thing Mondays Are Good For

We were planning on doing our Christmas shopping tomorrow, but then we looked at the weather forecast and decided that today would be much better for the trip.  So we went to town**.  We got almost all the shopping done, and I think we even came in under our self-imposed budget.  Yay us!  The bad weather was supposed to start this evening and wouldn’t you know it, just as we pulled onto our street the sprinkle drops began.  We made it home before it got bad.

From this trip we realized that shopping with a list is good***, shopping 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule you will more than likely find what you are looking for, and going on a Monday or Tuesday will provide less crowded stores, and much more courteous fellow shoppers.

What Did I Say

Tonight we net over to Hal and Corey’s house for some entertainment.  We like food network.  A lady from Macomb that I met a month or two ago was on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. So we had to watch it.  It was Ginger Bread Houses, and they look awesome.  We brought a key lime pie, it is Corey’s favorite.  And we like it too.

Pretty Snow

Early this morning I got up and went to the high school to help unload and sort the band fruit sales. I did this because I was asked, not because anyone sold us fruit. Because no one did sell us fruit. It appears that the band students always forget to ask the teachers to buy any.

This year I have decided to make many of the presents we are giving away for Christmas. I think this is a good idea. I have some special plans in place. So we went and got many of the supplies.

Also, I will be taking Rick and Ginny’s announcement photos, and because we don’t know what weather will be like on the day they come, I went around town looking for some pretty shots to use as backgrounds if we need them. I hope we don’t. Even though I can do some really cool photoshopping, the less of it to do, the better.

We Three Kings

Tonight was our ward/church Christmas party.  It was also a talent program.  Jacob, Annette Arnold and Megan Orton did a piano trio of We three Kings.  It was fun.  There were other good acts as well, but I am only posting this one on our site.  Enjoy, we did.

Crazy Snow

I went with my friend, Gayle to Peoria.  We had a fun trip.  She got her ears pierced and I bought a pair of earrings that I have been looking for for a long time.  I also got monkey earrings!  It snowed while we were there.  There hadn’t been snow on the ground when we arrived, but there was bad snow when we left.**

**Rick was in Kewaunee-giving Ginny her ring-so we got word to him to not try driving tonight.

New Ghouse

I went to Galesburg today to see Ronda, G-kids and the house they are buying. I took lots of pictures of the house for them. I really like the house! I wouldn’t mind having one of my own. I love older houses. Ronda and mom helped me make some rice crispy treat balls for the party tomorrow for the preschool, so I can make a better attempt at the snowman hats, with a rice crispy ball for a snowman head.

ToeMato Juice

I was working at the preschool again today. I like being there. I really don’t have any fun preschool stories today. However, when I went to pick up my car** Taryn and Bailey came out to greet me***. They invited me in where I visited with Heather for a while. They offered to return to me the tomato juice I had left at their house many, many moons ago. So as it sat there next to me Zack**** tried hard to pick it up and carry it around. It is at least half as tall as he is and may weigh half his weight*****. He is adorable.

Congratulations Ally

Today was Ally’s baptism, it was nice.  David did the baptizing. It was nice for her family to come up.  It was about a 3 hour drive and the weather was not so great.

This was the best smile we got from David.
