Last night the 9th through 12th graders had floor hockey in the gyms for FCA so the Awana-age children made use of the school's pool. Mike "kept charge" of the hot tub while I skipped out to do some grocery shopping. (I think I got the better end of the deal!)
Tomorrow we are planning to head to Buena Vista to go downhill skiing. I bought some lunchmeat for sandwiches on the way home and plan to make some cookies. The kids do not usually eat while we are there so I have learned to tone down on the meals for the day.
Everyone is doing well.

CRASH!
Last night Jason was on the kitchen floor warming up on the furnace when he flew out of the kitchen. There was a huge crash, and my whole rack of food came tumbling down, rack and all. It has been leaning more and more over the past 12 years, and I guess this was the time to fall. :) Now I will have to organize that stuff and see if we can get the rack back on the wall.
Thursday Laura went with me to bring Jason to his orthodontic appointment in Roseau and again yesterday to bring Aaron to his dentist appointment. About five or ten minutes from home each time, she asked, "When will we get home? I want to play." Poor girl...
I finally got my letters to the grandparents from last week sent yesterday. I had them ready to go and could not find the stamps. They were in the checkbook which was in the car in town. We had to have two new hubs put on, but at least the car sounds much better, after a year of noise. It also got new license plates so has a clean slate once again.

Emily is 9!
Emily had her 9th birthday on January 2. She, David, and I made a trip to Bemidji to go to church and pick up Tracy.
When we got home, we made chicken nuggets and a mixture of "store-bought" fry-type things. I think there were curly fries, tater tots, and onion rings.
Emily had seen and requested this ice cream pizza. It was a chocolate chip cookie bottom, ice cream, chocolate chips, and caramel drizzled over the top.
A couple gifts:
Playing the Wii with Jason...
She still wants to go to the glow-in-the-dark mini golf so we will have to set a time aside and do that one of these days.

David Said "Hat"
Yesterday at lunch time, David said, "Hat." Now, there really is nothing unusual about that; he has been saying that word for quite some time.
This time it was a riot because he took his plate full of food, put it on his head upside down, and said, "Hat," while giving the cutest grin which turned into a laugh when he got our attention.
It was a camera moment, but the camera wasn't in my hand!

David
Which picture of David should I enlarge to put up on the wall and give to the grandparents?
Oops, I think I need to run the red-eye checker through on the last batch of pictures I uploaded.
Pumpkin Fun
The younger kids got a pumpkin from a party we went to back in the middle of October, and we just got around to carving it last week. It had one "heart" ear and one "crescent" ear. I did get enough pumpkin for one batch of bars, but the other went moldy before I could get it processed. It has been a busy time around here.
David enjoyed checking out the inside of the pumpkin and even decided to taste the "pumpkin guts," much to Jason's and Emily's dismay!

I Snagged a Few Deals
I pulled out some coupons the other day and ended up getting the ravioli for 30 cents a can and the ketchup for 60 cents a bottle. The Chicken in a Biscuit were $1.49, which is a good deal for me since we like to eat them at "Christmas" parties, and the hot chocolate was 19 cents because I spent $10.00 at the store. I also pulled the trick of shopping for someone else so stuck a few things of mine into his cart so I could get the deals on the limited items such as butter for $1.99 and then paid him back. So "crazy" were my receipts that I had to give him a hand-written one though. :)
