What's new in da 'Hood!!!

jjjjjjjjjjjjj

Well, Jeff got on a plane early this morning, and took off for Phoenix. Our plan was to have him fly to Phoenix on Friday to meet up with his dad, and then the two of them were going to drive the rest of the way to GA. Jeff's flying on a buddy-pass (standby), and all of the flights on Fri. weren't looking good. So, he thought he should get on the first flight out today. Stinks though, 'cause he didn't get home from work until after 9pm. He came home, packed up, and went to bed. Oh well, we'll all be reunited before we know it. I am getting nervous and excited! I wish I could just snap my fingers and be there, instead of going on a 5hr airplane ride. I am not looking forward to that at all!!! Everyone, PLEASE keep me in your prayers on December 24th!

The other day my mom, Angie, and I were baking Christmas cookies. My mom made most of them, but I had a lot of fun decorating the gingerbread men. The girls and I are going to hand them out to our neighbors, the police station (right next door to our house), our favorite UPS driver, and the mailman tomorrow afternoon.

This winter blizzard is something else! I can't believe how windy it has been these past few days. As some of you may know, we live (literally) right next door to a park. We share a fence line with the tennis ball court. Anyhow....We noticed that the water from the roof was running off of the side of the house, and not out of the gutter. Well, the other day, Jeff went out there to take a look at it, and a tennis ball was lodged in the gutter! I thought it was pretty funny. I know, it's sad the things that amuse me.

So, I have a funny little story, that actually shouldn't be funny, because it involves my 2yr old using a bad word.....but I can't help but tell the story. And, yes! I did reprimand her. Although, I didn't really need to, because she realized she had made an oopsie!

Part of our house is hardwood floors. They get pretty slippery with footed jammies! So, we have come to find out. Anyway. I had just put cereal on the table for the girls. Makynna was sitting nicely eating, and Mikayla, "Hode on mommy. I pinish my show." I told her to go ahead, and "pinish." I sat down on the couch to nurse Mady. Well, after a comercial came on, Mikayla got up, and darted into the kitchen, were she slipped, and slid across the kitchen floor! She got up and said, "Oh sit! I swipped!" Makynna, "Oh, Lala! Yer not upose to say that badword!" "I know Nynna! I not say sit! I say, Ooooh shooooooot!" Says Mikayla! I tried not to bust out laughing, after Makynna says to her, "don't worry, I won't tell on you. I know you said the badword though!"
