Meadows, Alyssa, and Harvey:)Rats!!! Not really, of course, but by these cute little Zhu Zhu Pets:) All three of the kids got them for Christmas. Apparently, they were the "hot item" of the season, because stores were sold out of them and some people were spending up to $160.00 for them (and the play set they go in). I was NOT about to do that because I figured they would just be junk after about a month of play, but my Mom found them at Wal-Mart in Stuttgart on Christmas Eve! She didn't wrap them, but instead when we got to her house she had all the grand kids gather in the living room and they had a "mouse hunt" and which ever one they found was their pet to keep. They had fun doing it:)
I haven't posted in a few days, so I guess I'll take this opportunity to catch up. On New Year's Day we ate lunch at my Grammy's--all the usual new year food--hog jowl, black-eyed peas, cabbage(YUCK), fried potatoes. I can't imagine that food giving you prosperity throughout the year. If anything I would imagine it clogs your arteries leading you closer to a heart attack or stroke that year!! Right after we finished eating we left to go see my sister and family in Morrilton. We had to take her baby Ellie's baby bed and some other things they didn't have room in their Jeep for at Christmas. I forgot my camera:( We had a great time and now Jamie has everything ready for that sweet little girl! I can't wait--but I just hope she doesn't come while Makena is having her tonsils taken out. The C-Section has been scheduled for the 22ND of January, but she quit taking her Brethine(med that stops contractions) so it could really be at any time. Saturday we didn't do much at all. It was my turn to clean the church, so I did that duty, then Carl went to my parents to help my Dad spit some wood. Carl fixed some YUMMY steaks last night then we gave the kids baths, watched Matilda and put them to bed. I'm kinda sad that they have to go back to school on Tuesday:( I'll miss them--and I dread getting Makena out of bed(she's been sleeping until 9:00 every morning!)! Happy Sunday Everybody:)
