Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I.'s funny Christmas comment

I. told me today that she was wearing such a warm shirt because it was Christmas Eve and she loves Christmas. She knows that you dress warmly at Christmas time, according to cartoons of Christmas. The funniest thing is that her shirt isn't a warm one...it is just a long-sleeved T-shirt. HAHAHA. Our Christmas day will probably be in the 50's or 60's.

Avoiding a Thanksgiving Statistic

Isn't it true that most accidents and fires and such happen during the holidays? Well, that was almost us yesterday.

The kids were playing in H.'s room. H. ran out and yelled, "My light just burned out and there's smoke coming down from the light." T. and I yelled to him to get out...so, of course he ran back in and turned the light off...anyways...

I ran in there and grabbed I. and A. and shut the door.

T. went in after I'd gotten the children out. He took the bulb down and sure enough, it had faulted and would've caused a fire had the kids not been in there at that time. I emailed the company yesterday, but, of course, it is a holiday.

H. had to sleep on the floor in the other bedroom last night. H.'s room is still COMPLETELY stinky. It smells like burnt electrical wiring and plastic. We've had an air purifier going in there for more than 24 hrs. We had all the windows in the house open all day yesterday. I don't know how to get that smell out...and smells aren't just smells, they are molecules of something, I just don't know what. Those fluorescent bulbs have mercury in them, too, so I hope that that didn't leak out all over, too...

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun dinner together and then went over to my Grandma's to play a game and give her a plate of food, too.

Holiday Planner

Cute Thanksgiving planner from OceanSpray...so, there are quite a few cranberry dishes in it. It gives you choices of things you are interested in, then you can tell it to make the book for you as a .pdf, pretty fun...
