Well, they cancelled school today because of the flooding. Our house is safe, but it must be bad other places. The lower part of the neighoborhood got pretty bad over night. We went for a walk after dinner last night and got soakin' wet. The rain finally quit falling, or at least slowed down this morning, so we think the worst is over.
I’m currently at the Children’s museum with the girls. 
We couldn’t stay home and play video games ALL day, could we? We played Mario Galaxy for a long time. I have a few things to do for our HIs Place Ladies breakfast on Saturday, but otherwise I didn't have any plans today. And now I have a little pink computer so I can do stuff on the go. I don't have a network connection here though, so the update won't post until I get home. I gotta find some places with open wireless connections. I plan to use it to write! That's a good New Year's resolution. We'll see how it goes...at least I'm writing this blog..right?!
We have to miss Girl Scouts again this week too! Speaking of which, it is cookie time again! We'll be selling cookies throughout January. We'll see if the girls are more motivated to sell this year.
I've got to get motivated to paint the trim in the house and do some touch ups in the office. We have a leaky window, so that'll need to be fixed to. We're not sure where the waters getting in, but think it has something to do with where the shop roof hits the siding above the window. Bummer!
That's about it for now. Much love to all!
PS. When we got done at the Children's Museum, Kelby asked if she could spend some of her Christmas money to buy earrings. She hasn't bought any new ones since she got them pierced this summer. So, we stopped at Claire's to get some and got some cute penguins.
As she tried to change her earrings in the car, she noticed the back of one of her old earrings was stuck on her ear. I thought that it was just crusted on, but when we got home, I looked and found a good part of the back has actually grown into her ear! I have no idea how to get it out, so I made a doctor appointment. This picture is an example of the kind of back the earring had. Only the small tip is showing! She changes her earrings often enough I thought. I never change mine and I've never had this problem! She's a little freaked about it, but she'll be okay.
happy friday:-) We are lovin' the blog and the updates...makes us feel closer to you and more a part of your lives. Tell Kelby the same thing happened to my ear when I was a little girl...around 12 yrs old anyway. I still have the scar to prove it and that is why I still don't wear earrings...mine was infected. We are happy you are not getting flooded ...we watch it on the news every morning. Have a safe, dry weekend and remember we love you all. I hope the girls call us to sell cookies. Hugs from both of us, gigi and papa
ReplyDeleteHi! My daughter's earring did the exact same thing. It is even the same type of back. She had her ears pierced about 8 months, changes her earrings about once every two weeks, and then one night couldn't get the back out. I thought it was just a "freak thing". Guess she's not the only one :)
