Happy New Year!




And a belated Merry Christmas too! I hope your Christmas was as great as mine. The above picture is my Mom's beautiful Christmas tree---I didn't even put one up this year. Yep I know it makes me a scrooge. I didn't need any more Junie B. messes to clean up! See previous post for more on that...
I was able to spend several days at my parents with the 007's from TN. I love spending time with my nieces Addison and Alivia (and my brother and SIL). They make everything better!!! My favorite part was watching them open the gifts and seeing their eyes light up! I do have to admit I was probably more excited about the Easy Bake Oven than Addie was! Unfortunately the Easy Bake cake didn't taste quite as good as I remember it tasting back in 1983---maybe they changed the recipe???




Today is the last day of 2008. I hope 2009 brings everyone health and happiness!

It's been a long time...

So I have been busy for the past few months. I can't believe it is already December. There are 10 days till Christmas break and only 103 days of school left! Where has the time gone? Junie B. Jones and Gracie Lou have been keeping me busy. I am happy to report they are getting along better, but still not "friends". Junie likes to jump on Gracie and wrestle with her. Gracie isn't fond of "wrestling" though. Gracie does enjoy the chasing game. They take turns chasing each other up and down the hallway and up and down the stairs. I'm not sure what all happens during the day, but here is a look at what I have come home to a few times.






Junie has an affinity for toilet paper. I have to keep bathroom doors closed and all things shred-worthy hidden away. I have forgotten a few times to hide the toilet paper and have come home to the above pictures more than once. Junie B. is lucky she is so darn cute!
