If my blog were a goldfish

I think he or she might be in trouble, near to death, perhaps.

I have treated my blog this year like it's a houseplant or a goldfish . .

feed and water every third day

or 11 as was the case this past week.

So, here are the exciting happenings from our house in the past 11 days.

Number One:

New chair cushions. Exciting? Definitely!

The rush seats on my kitchen chairs (obviously not on this one) are wearing out and so EVERY time someone sits one of these four other chairs, it looks like I keep chickens in my kitchen.

It is annoying and messy and requires constant sweeping.

When we had guests stay two weeks ago, one of our guests, Chris Larsen, told me to go get some chair cushions thinking it would solve the problem. Genius!

It didn't fix it, but it helps and the color makes me happy.

Number Two:

Daren WON the Wii through a contest at work!!!

Can you believe that? Lucky us!

We bought Rock Band for Daren's gift and because he's like a child and couldn't wait for Christmas, wii play with it now.

Jeff Day, who is here on business from Michigan, visited with us last night and gave us a proper tutorial. Now we are all set to buy new clothes and hopefully get a tour bus with all our points from our awesome, successful gigs!

Number Three:

Our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!

Here it is with all the cute decorations from preschool, elementary and Grandma Day . . .

And, to end on a really funny note cause I like to laugh . . .

Andrew showed us this funny thing he did with some friends and a llama in his spare time in Rexburg, ID. The llama is owned by the grandmother of one of Andrew's friends.
