Well, one of the best things that could happen to a teacher happened yesterday...they cancelled school for today! I couldn't be happier even if I was a student!!
Michael was home earlier today so while he watched the kids, I decided to sneak away from them and do something I've been wanting to do since we started building our house...take a bath in our jet tub!!! It was awesome! I could've stayed in there for hours. I have been putting off taking a bath in there because 1. we have no blinds in our window right in front of the tub and 2. I am very weird about taking baths...all I can do is think about what is floating in the water. So today I really didn't care about anybody seeing me through the window (lol...we're way off the road so I doubt anybody could have seen anything anyway!) and I filled the tub with bubbles so I didn't have to think about the water!! I think this may have to become a daily routine. When I got out, I went in the bedroom and heard two little hands knocking on my bedroom door. I also heard two little voices say "hello?" I opened the door and they screamed "Mommy!" and jumped in my arms like they hadn't seen me in days. It was so sweet.
I finally took down my Christmas decorations today. Gracelyn and Ayden were both so sick the week after Christmas I didn't have a chance to do it, but it feels good having everything put away!
Michael had to work all night last night in the freezing cold weather, so Gracelyn, Ayden, and I cuddled up on the couch under blankets and watched E.T. Ayden fell asleep first, then me...I woke up a/b 45 min. later and Gracelyn's eyes were wide open, staring at the tv...."Mommy, what's that little boy's name?" I told her it was Elliott...no, not that one...that one (pointing to E.T.) I told her he wasn't exactly a little boy, that he was an alien. "Ohhh," she said. "I don't like E.T. He's ugly!" It was so funny.
This morning we got up, and the first thing she wanted to do was...you guessed it! Watch E.T. Here is a picture of her and Ayden eating their pancakes and sausage while watching it. Michael sat there watching it, too...I can't believe he had never seen it!

Here's another picture of the kids...we had a little "photo shoot" in front the fireplace last night...that lasted a total of two minutes!
As I was typing this post, Ayden brought me his little Bible, and said "uh-oh!" Uh-oh was right!! He had scribbled all over the back of it with a black permenant marker!!! I went flying to the bathroom and got the hairspray, then started scrubbing the marker off. Most of it came off, but it left a little light mark where he scribbled. Glad that it didn't look too bad since it was just on the back, I flipped it over and UGH!! He had scribbled all over the front, too!! I scrubbed it the best I could...I guess it doesn't look too bad :-(Well, I guess it'll be a Friday night at the house...Michael is working til midnight, and it is sooo cold outside! I think Mama, Daddy, and Kortney may come over and eat pizza...while me and Kortney play Super Mario! haha!! She found the Super Nintendo a couple of weeks ago, and we are playing it like we did when we were little! We get just as frustrated at it now as we did then! LOL! Gracelyn and Ayden just watch like we're crazy...Gracelyn begs to play, and I guess she really does think I'm crazy when I keeping telling her, "No! Mommy's playing right now!"
Here is Ayden helping me with breakfast this morning
I think he liked it!
Gracelyn was watching E.T. while we cooked...she looks pitiful b/c her face has broken out in a rash.
Ayden is falling asleep on my shoulder now (at 5:30 p.m....not good!) and Gracelyn is watching E.T....for the third time in 24 hours. I wonder how many more times I'll have to watch this before she gets tired of it??
