a glimps at life in the slow lane

Don't they look sweet? Or are they planing something?

Logan said "I did not know Santa was a member of Bluegrass"

Bella got cut off. But it is still a sweet picture.

Madeline is as competitive as her father. She said she was battling her opponent.

Presents

Cake

Who are all those pretty girls?

Zoe knows how to party. Limo rides with pizza, laser tag, cake, video games....
Mad is on the far right in the black shirt.

Chris likes this picture because you can see their personalities. It is true. Logan is being silly to make Madeline laugh. Madeline makes that face all the time.

Logan's mom rocks. His door is awesome. And this is just half of it. Wow

Madeline's mom is a slacker. Her door is kind of lame. I think she ran out of time.

Logan's mom is so cool. His door is awesome. And that is just half the door. Wow

Divas and the Charlie Brown float. We froze.

It had snowed before we got there. The snow melted except for on the top of the mountains. It snowed the day we left. We have the worst luck!

Matthew made this wonderful mean for us to celebrate Art's birthday. I know only I would take a picture of food.

Madison is eat up with Matthew and rarely leaves his side. Not even to get "pink" which is what she calls getting her nails done.

I swear my mom only had one drink. I do not know why she is wearing 3d glasses.

Madison is the cutest ever.

Getting Ready for School
Drop the kids off and then

go to the bank...
and wait...... and wait.....
Ok It is 9:07
What gives?
I have to move one
Maybe they open at 9:30
Maybe?

DG Market to buy some things that we did not get in our food drive
WOW
I got tons of stuff
6 bags
Including a turkey, cereal, hamburger helper, hamburger, and much more
less than $60
This certainly went well.
Except for the realization that it is VETERANS DAY and the banks are closed

If the banks are closed for me, they are closed for everyone. So, I will just go ahead and pay the entry fee for the Christmas parade and make the deposit to cover the check first thing in the morning. I will just drop this off at Keller Williams. I can't mail it because I don't have any stamps.
What?
Who put that there?
That is not Keller Williams! Wonder where Keller Williams is!
Movin' On

Got to clean my car! Oh look there is a bag with t-shirt I bought for Madeline in a pile of trash. Hmm

That is just nasty.

I got the car loaded for the Westmoreland drop. My Brownie Troop is taking a bunch of food to a family in place of a regular meeting. Oh, and Logan's class t-shirts which took 4 weeks to process through the laundry. I have to return those to the school.

But first I have to run in and get my phone. What's this? Chris left a movie out for me to return. I do remember renting it about a month ago. That will really have to get back today.

But first, the banks are closed, I need some money.

I am running a little behind for my lunch with Janette. No, I don't think it is odd that I am taking pictures at 80 mph. Notice that at noon I still have half a tank of gas. Not so shabby!

Lunch!

Gotta get a snack for the Brownies. Wait a minute. I brought my bag from home and the bag girl put it in my cart without using it. She then put everything in plastic. Flash Back it was the girls with Down's. She is so sweet. Movin' On.

Oh Yeah. I rock! I actually did return the movie TODAY!

Hmm. One of the things I do not like about Hendersonville is the weirdo tree thing. They have lined main street with beautiful trees. Then they cut big V's in the tops to accomodate the power lines. This plan was obviously made by the same people responsible for the trafic patterns on Indian Lake. Boys with hot wheels?

I knew you would not be happy without a picture of me. I thought a picture of me in my natural habitat would be best. The car, duh! So Funny. I look like a bobble head. Are you laughing too?

It is 2:00 time to do my weekly volunteer work in Logan's class. See how clever I am? I put my name tag on top of the treasure chest items and put that on top of the t-shirts so that I would not forget to take them into the school. Go Me!

Some of my favorite people and some of my not so favorite people. Can you guess who is who? It is book fair time again. BOOK FAIR

See what happens when you don't ever lock your car and everyone knows it. People come and put stuff in it. Stuff that you can then give to the family in Westmoreland. How cool is that?

Some of the Divas are playing around before we leave for Westmoreland. Aren't they cute? Peace Out!

This wonderfull couple is expecting their first little one. Their home is beautiful and so are they. We were so lucky to be able to visit with them and provide them with a little bit of stuff.
One of the girls noticed that they did not have any food when we got there. When we left, they did not have enough cabinet space for it all. It is very sad that they did not have any food. Just three cans of beans and a package of American cheese.

Logan, I am trying to take a nice dignified picture of the girls.

That is about as dignified as it gets with the divas.

What in the Tarnation? Logan stop kissing Bella.

6:30 and I am out of gass. Figuratively and litterally. Movin' On.

I pulled into my garage only to have Charlie Brown remind me that I never did take care of the Christmas Parade entry form. Tomorrow is another day.

Homework! Logan is doing his in the dark. He claims to be reading with the book above his head. That does not sound like the truth. - That is one of my catch phrases, pretty good huh?

Ayyye Grrrr
If Chris does not stop setting on the rug like this, I am going to throw the rug away and buy a fabulous new one that will be to large for this to even be a possibility. It sounds like I am beign picky. But the rug is curled up on that corner at all times now. Little people, and myself, trip on it all the time.
Grrrrrr

Madeline has a ton of homework tonight. She got her bottom braces on yesterday and missed the last hour and half of school yesterday. Funny that she has exactly that much homework.
