A WEEK to REMEMBER

I am a little under the weather this morning. That time of the year and things are going around I guess! I thought that while I sit here by the fire I would post a little more about my week and some pictures!

Monday:
A normal day! Is there such a thing? Thank God, because I needed a restful day before the storm began!

Tuesday:
1. We had tornadoes touch down here in our little town. So, we were without power for a few hours. It is bad when the Weather Channel names your town and some streets where the tornadoes are heading. Thankfully our street was not one of the ones called.
2. I scratched my car fender on a pole, because I was trying to get the kids some lunch while the lights were off and the weather was so bad. Thankfully it is a small dent and scratch and can be fixed easily.
3. Kensli had her collar bone re-xrayed and all is mending perfectly! I do not see how because you should see how she uses that arm! I was kind of worried!
4. I prepared a gumbo supper for 25 people that was hosted at our house, during the 5 inches per hour flood that was happening right about then! Let me just say that not a drop of the gumbo was left, so I must of overcome and got it right! :)
5: The bad lightening fried our thermostat on the heater, so there was no heat, just cold air blowing in here. Thankfully we have gas logs that heat the kitchen, hearth room and sun room.

Wednesday:
1: Our painter shows up to work on the bathrooms. I had been going to paint the bathrooms myself, but after removing the wall paper I could tell immediately that I needed professional help.
2: ACA arrives and fixes the heat!
3. Violin Lessons
4. Play at church that night.


Thursday:
1. SNOW DAY!!!!!!! Oh, my goodness, we hardly ever see snow, and we still didn't see much, but it snowed. It only stuck to the the plants and houses, and of course all schools, business, and roads were closed. We just don't know how to handle such here in the South.

Our SNOW!

Now don't laugh! New Orleans got a lot more than we did, but it is snow!

2. Painters came anyway, they only live a few blocks from us!
3. Spanish Language Classes were at our house tonight! We are getting fairly comfortable speaking some Spanish and I can understand more than I can speak. Hopefully my mouth will catch up with my ears soon.

Friday:
1. Dr's apt in Houston.
2. Took Kaitlyn ice skating for her birthday! She was so excited! She had never been on skates, but she can in line skate! She took off skating, no wall holding or anything! Toby and Nic, were not so graceful. Ricky didn't want to and Kensli couldn't (arm), so I sat with them and took pictures.

Look at her go! She could even spin around once by the time she was finished.

There are my little wall huggers!!!!!

Saturday:

1. Kaitlyn's birthday and she had a 2 friends over to help her celebrate. I made a cake and we partied. I was tired from the late night, so I am glad I had held it down to 2 friends. She had a great time as you can tell by the pictures.Kensli wanted to dress for Kaitlyn's birthday and this is what she finally decided on! :)

2.Mom and Gran came for her birthday, and dad must have called 6 times. He misses being with us for special events when he is off on a job!

3. Tried to help Toby pack for Spain! He leaves Monday on a mission trip for a few days.

Wow, no wonder I am a little worn out and feeling under the weather! I hope next week will slow down some, but I just looked at my calendar and there is no hope for that to happen! 'TIS THE SEASON.....................
