I believe the last time I blogged was when Sara Kate and Bryce were here during our Christmas break. I can't figure out if we have been too busy, too boring, or if everything else we have done since then pales in comparison to the time they were here. I'll let you be the judge.
The best of both worlds....
Needless to say I was living in the best of both worlds during their stay. Enough said.
Bayley's birthday was January 6th and there were festivities to be had. Let me just say that I am NOT adjusting well to these whole double digit ages. Furthermore, it is NOT a good idea to have a house full of a bunch of 10 year old girls and suggest they play the Wii game Disney Sing It. Not unless you enjoy 200 girls singing at the top of their lungs. Don't worry Scott, I'll be sure that you are able to attend the encore presentation. I know how much you would love to be a part of that and just for your listening pleaseure... Shana and I will do a special song just for you. Hey, dreams can come true.
Anyway, Granda and GDaddy sent the ultimate gift. Are you ready? A hair dryer and a straightner. I'll let you watch the video of her opening it.
After that video for your viewing pleasure... Aunt Barbara sent a present that knocked Bayley's socks off. It's a good thing too because she cant give herself a pedicure with socks on. She was elated.
A couple of weeks ago, we decided to try something new at our house. We decided that each night someone different would cook dinner all by themselves. Who's genious idea was this? MINE!!!! Did I tell you the other stipulation to this tantilizing tale? If you cook... you have to clean up the kitchen. We have had chicken spaghetti (Maci), Grilled chicken(Paul), Hard Taco's(Bayley), and home made Lasagna(ME). The next week, Maci made Mexican Build Up and Tuesday Paul made Fiesta Lime Chicken (YUM). We were not there on Thursday and Friday night. At the end of each week we vote for our favorite meal. Up to this point Paul had won each week. I forgot to mention that I am taking two online courses at Central Georgia Technical college. Paul is taking 3 courses to get his Masters in Educational Leadership at Tennessee Temple. Needless to say, we have all 4 been inundated with homework every night the last 3 to 4 weeks.
Last week, Maci made Mandarine chicken and Rice. Because of the homework and all no one else was able to cook that week. MACI WON!!!! This was a long awaited victory for her and she didn't even care that she won by default. She's not competative.
Oh, by the way our 16th year anniversary was this past weekend and Paul and I went to Stone Mountain. Walking down the mountain isn't as easy and carefree as you think. Especially when the whole thing is made of granite. On the way home we stopped at IKEA. Paul bought himself a Wok and I bouht those cool little spice racks I've been wanting forever.
Monday night Paul made Stir Fry and Tuesday night Maci made stuffed Manicotti. They were both very very good. Tonight was Bayley's night and her entree of choose was Breakfast Burritos. She was very proud of them. They were delicious as well. After dinner we started this little Trivia game. We each ask trivial questions for the others to answer. Bayley is all about this game. She is studying early America and such right now, so a lot of her questions have been about that. Although tonight she through us a curve ball. She busted out some science. She asked "what is it called when the clouds let off moisture" (or something like that I wasn't really listening). Paul answered the question and he was right. She asked the next question (again not really listening) and Paul answered it again (show off) and she said "No... your so close I think that's it" Apparently she didn't know the answer either.
Anyway..... that is a quick update of the things that have been going on here in Lizella. Consider yourslef informed.
