New Year
After receiving tremendous pressure to keep updating my blog from a dear friend who shall remain anonymous hehehe I have decided to try to do my best to keep this blog thing going. I hope to see an effort from her end as well.
We had a pretty laid back New Years here. We kept Keaton and Braxton New Years eve so their parents could party, ring in the New Year and wake up with hangovers. Glad those days are behind me. When it started taking me two days to get over one nights worth of fun I gave that life style up. Anyway back to my story. Every year at the stroke of midnight these idiots that live south of us ring in the New Year with plenty of gunfire. This year was no different it went on for 15 minutes. I can’t believe people are so smart that they fire live ammunition into the air not thinking that it will come down somewhere. Keaton thought it was fireworks and I must admit a small amount of it was but you can tell the difference between the popping of Black Cats and the consistent firing of live ammunition. It was enough to scare her so she ended up in bed with us. She hasn’t slept in our bed since I broke my leg in Dec. 04. The only thing three years has changed is her legs have grown longer and she now kicks harder. She had a good laugh when we talked about it the next day, I had to embellish the story just a tad. What I didn’t know until about 5:00 in the morning was Penny couldn’t take her kicking so she got in bed with Braxton. Had I know that I would of scooted Keaton over but instead I laid there and took it all night. She spent the night again last night and slept in bed with us but I didn’t notice her kicking as much. Penny even managed to stay in bed with us.
New Years day was a pretty day, we had the in-laws and our kids over. We cooked hamburgers outside and tried to finish off the rest of the Christmas goodies. Today the rest of the cookies and candy went into the trash. It wasn’t a whole bunch but I needed to get all that sugar out of our house.
Hope everyone has a Happy and Healthy New Year
