Let's see now...I don't even remember how to start.
"Forgive me, father, it's been 3 months since my last confession." Maybe not.
"What's the deal with cardboard? Is it a card, is it a board? Make up your mind, already." No. Absolument pas.
Let's just dive in, shall we?
Fun holiday weekend. Wednesday, took the kids to see The Muppet Movie. First kid-flick I've seen in a long time that I didn't fall asleep during. Very funny. Then we went to lunch, then to the craft store to get supplies for "puff-ball turkeys." On Tuesday, I'd picked the kids up at school in the afternoon to take them for their checkups, and Johnny had to leave without his turkey. So we got the stuff, and went home so the kids could strew it around the dinning room. Cara created a host of puffball characters, including "Miss-YOUR Puf-BALL, zee GRAH-tist haht-BREAK-er in ul ov FRAHNCE!" (I transliterated the accent.) Fun.
Thanksgiving, went to the home to have lunch/dinner with Mom, Mary Jo, Kathy, Greg, Brian, and Megan. Then in the afternoon, off to the Holcomb's for a gourmet dinner, err, I mean David Holcomb can't cook so don't accept an invitation but let me know and I will go and bear the brunt of his tragic cooking style in your stead. Just a little service I provide, and you're welcome.
In the evening, we popped over next door for dessert. Allie is also one of eight, and they were all there, with spouses and children and children and children. It was cacophonous, but it was fun and the pies were good. Johnny loves peanut butter pie, but probably only when Allie serves it.
Friday was fun. Around 5, just before dusk, Cara was swinging next door, when she apparently let go of the chains for reasons that escape reason. Fell on her back, went to the ER. Nothing was obviously broken from the x-ray, but now we have to see an orthopedist to see if she has a broken growth plate. She's in a sling right now to immobilize her left arm a bit, sadly they would not give me a device to immobilize her jaw.
Saturday, put up some Christmas decorations. When the kids went up to get ready for bed, I went outside to check on them for five minutes. By the time I got back in, the upstairs toilet had overflowed and was raining down a bit in the kitchen. Could have been worse.
Oh, here's a neat pic I took out the car window on the way home from lunch on Thursday, a buck says you'd never guess what it is:
(scroll down a bit)
It's the multicolored car washing soap in the automatic car wash. There were red and oranges, too, Cara got a picture of those. It wuz reel purty.
"Awesome" enough for ya?
