Good Grief

I can't believe that I still have Christmas on the blog. Of course, it was almost February before Christmas left our house so I shouldn't be too surprised. The good news is...we're alive! Things are just so crazy busy that I just don't get to this as often as I'd like. So, today, a little catch-up. First of all, many of you have seen this in person which is toooo funny! But for those of you who haven't (and for the cousins who like to watch it over and over) I just HAD to post Katie Belle dancing her "A-toodee-ta" dance. I'm figuring out some way to use this for girls camp!

Sadie entered a contest at her grandpa's work and won! So they sent her a copy of her drawing with a picture of it posted at the plant and a gift card to Walmart. She was so proud of herself! What I thought was even cuter was that I had her write a thank you note and she addressed the envelope to "My grandpas work". They even posted the envelope with her drawing! =)

Katie had her baby and then she and the family came to visit, much to the joy and excitement of my girls! They loved holding their new cousin, Adelaide! Isn't she cute?!

My grandpa has not been doing very well lately. So, I took the girls to go see their great-grandpa again. Maia didn't want to be in the picture but she had her kitty costume on and great-grandpa thought that was pretty funny. You know, it's hard to see him so sick but it's also good for me because for as much as I'll miss him when he's gone, I'll also know he'll be so much better off. I love you, grandpa!!!Luke had a project to do at school and decided to do it on Greek Mythology. He researched some of the gods and then made a Powerpoint presentation for his class. I was really impressed! I have to admit, though, I was giggling when someone asked why they couldn't just shoot the Hydra to kill it. (For those trying to remember what the Hydra was...think Hercules, the monster that when he cut off a head, three more grew.) And Luke, acting soooo smart, told them that they didn't have guns back then but that if they did shoot the Hydra, it's poison blood would just get everywhere. Which no one wants, right? He then gave his personal opinion on how he'd go about killing it. I know, now you're all curious as to how he'd do it. Well, obviously, he'd use Medusas head and turn it to stone. It's the only logical choice. =)

Whew! So there you go! I know it's a little random but so is my life right now. At least we're caught up and it's not Christmas on my blog anymore...HURRAY!
