Christmas in July

What a fun evening we had last night.  A fellow family at Church invited us to a Christmas in July celebration with 5 other families.  Our kids had an absolute blast.  Maggi thought of everything right down to the turkey and ham.  She even had a Charlie Brown Christmas tree displayed for the kids to decorate.  As they decorated, the kids were suppose to share a Christmas tradition.  All my kids could think of was opening Christmas presents and eating candy out of their stockings.  We are going to have to work harder this year with our traditions.


They read "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and even had a snow ball fight.  Yes, you read correctly, a snowball fight in July.  She had marshmallows for the kids to throw and boy did they throw them.  They went  absolutely crazy.  My kids LOVED it.  I wish I had lots of pictures to share, but I forgot my camera. Here are some pictures that Larry took with her camera.  I hope you all enjoy.

What a fun idea! It looks like you guys had a blast. I love a Charlie Brown Christmas!

I've been thinking how important traditions are and am wondering what my kids would say our traditions are 20 years down the road. It makes me want to create some more really good traditions. I personally loved going to Granny Roberts for Christmas Eve and as an adult now, I am so sad that we really don't have that anymore. I mean, we've tried but it just isn't the same without Granny and some good fiddling and banjo playing!

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
