Brett quote of the day

"How can 'beeswax' mean business..."

(as in 'none of your beeswax')...

"when beehives are not made out of 'business'?"

Hibernation

A few days of real winter weather came to Southwest Louisiana, so much so that they even cancelled a day of school. The cold weather seemed like a good excuse to take it easy. We played games, read books, made hot chocolate and didn't really go anywhere. It was nice while it lasted. On an unrelated note, we also discovered this weekend that Bryce is taller than me! Ty is about the same height as I am. Weren't they just little and cute? What happened?

Brett quote of the day

"I know what Ty's "revolution" should be...to stop annoying me!"

Happy New Year!

We spent the evening doing fireworks and playing games. We have been playing lots of games this last week, because we got a lot of games for Christmas. To celebrate New Years Eve we played Flinch, Qwirkle cubes, Mancala, Quelf, Out Balance, and Connect 4x4. Brett tried really hard to make it to midnight, but he was happy that he stayed up later than 9:30 when he thought he would fall asleep. The other kids got bored at about 11:15 but could not be convinced to go to bed until the New Year arrived. No resolutions set yet...we will follow tradition and set goals for the year on Monday night. We wish all our friends and family all the happiness they can stand in 2010!

Is it just me...

or is it a little weird to have a cross on the top of the stable on your outdoor Christmas decorations?

Brett quote of the day

While in the car with Brett this morning:
"Sometimes I dream that I am having a dream that I am having a dream that I am having a dream that I am having a dream...then I get tired of dreaming and wake up."

"I like buffets because they have lots of good food and you can go back for more and more and more and more."

"Why do people think Jesus looks like that...maybe he is bald."
