Our happenings...


Okay so the other night I was heating up some really yummy soup in the microwave. I was very careful while taking it out so I wouldn't burn my hands, but to no avail it got on my hands. Well like most people's first reaction you try to get rid of the thing that burnt you. Not thinking it through clearly, I dropped the soup on the counter and yep, soup went everywhere. It landed all over my face and my left eye (just below my eyebrow) took the brunt of it. It hurt so bad that I was screaming and turning around trying to get to my sink to wash it off. I guess in the process of trying to find the sink I knocked the bowl onto the ground and made an even bigger mess! Logan was yelling back at me trying to figure out what it was that I was doing. It was total mayhem!! Poor Reid is scarred for life because of the scene he say that night!! Thankfully I think I will be okay. As you can kind of see in the picture, it is still a little red, but not bad. (Not the best picture mind you, I didn't wear very much make up on the account of the burn!) Anyway, I thought some of you would enjoy such a moment to laugh at, go ahead, laugh at me!! :0)

My next set of pictures are our house. We decided this year to try and decorate We our house with Christmas lights. We were the only ones on our street that hadn't done it, we felt lame, so we got this brilliant idea to try it out. Well we went to Hobby Lobby and we were so excited because everything was 50% off. Unfortunately for us, thatis still too much money. So we bought some bows and garland that were really cheap and got another brilliant idea. Yep living close to family can be a blessing. Logan's mom has a ton of extra lights that they don't use anymore that she said we could borrow. I was unaware of the color of the extra lights until we to there. Oh yeah baby, pink is the new red!! You can't really tell, atleast that is what we tell ourselves. We took them gratefully and set out to decorate our house. We love the columns with the garland and bows, and our little tree is nice, but a sad, sad little tree. It looks okay in the pictures, but not so great in person. Anyway, we feel like the white trash house on the block, but hey there is always next year to make it better, right??

Your eye looks terrible. So sorry, but I did laugh at your clumsiness. I totally would do something like that. Poor Reid having to witness his mommy in totally psychotic-ness. jk. Your house DOES NOT look white trash. I think that the pink looks great! I'm glad that you got with the program. :) I seriously am counting down until February...yippee!

You are the funniest person I know. I read it to Jonathan, who is terrified of the oven, and he laughed right along with me. I hope you get better soon.
