"I'M SO LUCKY!"

Asa told us upon return from morning out with Dad.
Rusty takes a child to breakfast every couple of weeks. This week was Asa's turn. They took a detour by Home Depot for the Kids Free workshop and then it was off to the Canton Riverstone McDonalds. According to Asa, they were sitting at the counter, eating, when a worker said to Asa "Hey Kid, come here." With a mischevious look, they asked if he had a sister? He affirmmed and the prize was his!

"MOM, LOOK AT MY ARMPITS"

"MY EAR'S NOT WORKING,"

Says Asa to Dad on Sunday morning.



Asa thought it would be a nifty idea to make an impression of his ear with SILLY PUTTY. Not so silly. I was thankful Rusty hadn't left for meetings yet so he could deal with this one

BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS...

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

NEW BACKGROUND

So as you can see, I'm feelin' a little LOUD today. Perhaps it goes right along with my "computer stud" hubby teaching me about "YELLING." Back to putting my house in order for 2009. I'll post christmas soon....

ASAISMS

An Asaism is a funny, unexpected remark from our 7 year old. The kid is just naturally HILARIOUS!

So today's Asaism came while Rusty and I were smoochin' in the office. Asa entered and decided to make it a threesome...kind of. He did NOT hesistate to come right up to his lip locked parents and give them a big ole' group hug. We paused and told him to beat it (but in a nicer way). His Asaism? "That's okay. I'm not looking at you." Rusty and I just looked at each other, said "Asaism," then busted up. Our passionate moment had been ungrudgingly interrupted and dissolved thanks to ASA.

GINGERBREAD HOUSE 2008

It’s been a couple of years since we did a gingerbread house so when a friend (THANK YOU TRICIA) gave us a kit, I was thrilled, but the kids were ecstatic! They asked daily if we were going to do the Gingerbread house...so for FHE, I mustered up the energy and voila’…...

The Icicles were forged by Rusty.

The candy (including gumdrops and candy canes) were arranged with Shea and Asas' care,

And the Snow Monster in front was the creative works of Rett
