So today I was walking the kids to school in the pouring rain. It was pouring, like as in really wet. One of the kids thought he was too cool for an umbrella so he let me borrow it. It was barely big enough to cover my head but I was grateful none the less. I shall never foget my umbrella again! Also, I now realize my boots are okay in the snow but once I'm ankle deep in water they aren't of much use. My feet were soaked and they were hurting because it was so cold. I thought to myself, there could not be a worse start to a day. (Yes, I'm quite aware that there are worse things that could happen but at the time this seemed bad) Then, just as we were in the home stretch it got really bad. The sidewalk was almost impassable. Yes, I am dramatizing this a little bit, but I want to make this interesting. Anyway, It was wet. I felt bad for the kids because they are little and it was like up to their knees. So we decided to walk on someone's lawn even though I always tell them not to do that. So i was half on the lawn, half on the mushy sidewalk when my feet start to slip. I knew right away that I was going down. It must have been a funny sight because as my feet come out from under me and fly up into the air and my derriere splashes into the slushy puddle, there is an uproar of laughter from behind me. All my kids were killing themselves laughing and then proceeded to complain about how wet they were. I just stuck my butt out and showed them how soaked I was and told them to suck it up. They thought it was great. So that is that!

We got another kitten two weeks ago today. We named him Tobias, like Tobias the never-nude from Arrested Development. He prefers to be called Toby, but I call him Tobes and Nathan calls him Poop-sack or butt-nugget. He seriously stinks sometimes. And he's constantly putting his butt in our faces. I just don't get it! Nathan just wanted to add that Aysha was cleaning Toby's anus today. haha. I put lotion on them a few days ago so they would both smell like vanilla spice. Mmm mmm mmm. Toby and Aysha love each other and we are a very happy family!




Nathan and I put up our very own Christmas tree yesterday. It's so exciting and our place looks so incredibly cozy! I love the Christmas season! And do you know what else I did yesterday? I made a really yummy meal and it did not poison anyone. It was really exciting. Not that I've poisoned anyone before...

It was Spencer and Kelsey's wedding this past friday and I had a lot of fun. I'm glad it has finally worked out for them and I'm sure it was a very special day for everyone involved. Nathan was Spencer's best man and I'm pretty sure there's never been a more handsome best man EVER! Nathan and I also bought them a really fun present... we told them to bring it on their honeymoon if you know what I mean haha. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed it so far. Congratulations on the nuptualizing our dear friends! We wish you the very best. Marriage is such a wonderful blessing!

And I just want to wish my mom an early birthday. I won't say how old you are on here, but you're still really young right? Yup. And to Chris and Kellee... Congrats on getting the job! Nathan and I are really happy for you and we're so glad you're having a good trip!
