Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all from Disneyland California !! We are having great fun !! It's kind of rainy and a little chilly, but nothing compared to the inches of snow at home and certainly not enough to keep us out of the park. It's been a real different Christmas ! We arrived yesterday about 3:00 and spent the afternoon at Disneyland. Much to our surprise the park was almost empty, we literally ran from one ride to the next with very little or no waiting. We ended Christmas Eve with fireworks set to Christmas music overlooking the water and Cinderella's Castle. The fireworks ended with snow storm (in the form of bubbles) falling down from the lamp posts. I have to say that was a first ! Fireworks on Christmas eve. It was awesome! Today we have been to California Adventure for most of the day. It is raining quite hard so we have come back to the hotel for a break and a bite of Christmas dinner. We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and hope everyone has had a great day !!

Which one is Goofy

My Lunchroom Funny

We make an Italian sandwich called Stromboli which consists of Ham, Mozzarella cheese, & Italian spices.
One little girl came to the lunch counter with her sandwich in hand and said to my co worker, "um excuse me, can I have another sandwich mine has leaves in it". It was all she could do to keep from laughing as she explained to her it was the spices we put in it. She seemed happy with the explanation, went back to her seat and ate her sandwich leaves and all.

Say a prayer

Rick with Charli

My brother Ricky had a serious accident yesterday. While helping his brother-in-law repair a piece of equipment his foot became caught in the track of a cat tractor. It broke his heal bone and severed 3/4 of the way through the Achilles tendon shredding it, and took most of the skin from one side of the foot. After a 3 hour surgery they were able to repair most of the damage. They are worried about the skin dying around the heal where they had to try to stretch the skin back around it, because of not much blood flow to that area. They are also worried about infection. If you would please remember him in your prayer that all will heal well and he will have the use of his foot. Thank you everyone.

The Mermaid

Mckendrie's Relay Team

We spent this past Friday & Saturday at McKendrie's swim meet. My brother Ricky and his family were able to come to the meet and were kind enough let us stay the night with them. Thanks again for the hospitality!!

I got quite a kick out of my niece Charlie, We were all watching McKendrie swim when she turned to her mom and said " is she a mermaid?" Her mom told her to ask McKendrie, so after she was done with her event Charli and I went down to meet her and ask her if she was a mermaid. She told her she was a half mermaid and that her legs come back when she gets out of the water. She told me "take my picture with that half Mermaid."

It's so amazing to me how the mind of a three year old works !! To her, anything is possible, and she really could have been a Mermaid. I wonder what things we could do if we thought like a three year old sometimes.

Happy Halloween

It was a dark and scary night ( ok so its still day, just go with me here.)...

Briley set out trick or treating and.....

Lost her head !!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Time to update

Holy Cow ! it's been a long time since I posted !! life became real interesting and fun between work, very active children in High School and middle school and a college student husband. I never thought I would say it but I'll be glad when McKendrie gets a drivers license! It seems all I do is run from one thing to the next, mach 20 with my hair on fire. From Ball games, to swim team practice & meets, band, orchestra, and chorus practices & concerts, to music lessons, McKendrie is in a drumline and they did a routine with garbage cans.

parent teacher conference and my mom in the hospital. She is doing much better after spending a week in the hospital with a bowel obstruction. Meanwhile in between we gave our kitchen a makeover, (Not that it needed it or anything) Just because it had orange , yellow & brown carpet from the 60's, bright red vinyl counter tops, and a stove that was down to one unit that worked on the top, and an oven that liked to eat heating elements every 6 months or so. Any way here are some before and afters that will help you get a better picture.

(after all this is lunch lady chronicles) We had hat day for red ribbon week last week. one of the kids had on a coon skin cap. My boss said to him " you have a Daniel Boon hat , did you kill the coon thats on it? " He looked at her with a disgusted look and said " No Daniel did " It was like duh lady who did you think. Kids make my job great !!

2. Mention the rules on your blog.

3. Tell 6 unspectacular quirks you posses.

4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.

5. Leave a comment on each of the blogs, letting them know they have been tagged.





Quirk #1- I hate anything on my kitchen cupboards ! (that does not mean their isn't stuff there, It just really bugs me when it is there.)



2. I don't share my drink with anyone. If someone take a drink out of mine I'm done with it.



3. When I am going to sleep I wiggle both my fingers and toes back and forth and count 1,2,3,4,5,

until I finally fall to sleep.



4. I either sing or hum when I am sleepy. Its embarrassing because I catch myself doing it no matter where I am.



5. I can't brush my teeth without gagging, and it is out of the question for anyone else to be brushing when I am. ( Makes it kind of tricky with only one bathroom.)



and finally #6. I don't like anybody to tell me anything about book's or movies before I read or see them.



I don't know if I have 6 people to tag but here goes what I have.
