The Boone Family

Yes, it's true I am living on the edge.  Not because I love extreme sports like skydiving, bungee jumping, etc but because that is where my kids have pushed me to...Life on the edge.  I am hoping that this is just a phase but goodness me, it is causing this lady serious stress. The other evening I thought a great project would be dot-to-dot puzzles so we got out the stamp pads and created our own.  They were both having a great time with this activity so I decided to walk into the next room and fold a load of laundry.  Just minutes later I hear a scratching sound coming from the table...to my amazement Landon is scribbling on the table with a pen.  The fury of seven junk yard dogs came out of me as I took that pen out of his hand.  I could not stinkin believe that he did this.  After talking with him, I gave them crayons to use instead.  He quickly jumped down and wrote on the mirror closet door.  Wow!

It's time to update all the readers on the status of Bob's foot and the current pregnancy.  Bob is wearing a "recovery boot" with heel lifts inside.  At every dr. appointment they check the wound and take out one of the lifts.  He has also been doing physical therapy here in Chelsea twice a week to help regain strength and movement.  So I have to throw him under the bus a little because he has decided not to wear the "recovery boot" unless he is at physical therapy, work, or dr. appointment.

Probably after reading the title to this blog entry you might think that it is meant in a negative way but you are mistaken...I can't get enough of the holiday season.  It all started this year on December 22nd, we packed up the van and drove down to Bucyrus to have Hornak Christmas (my mom's side).  My mom hosted this year and the house was full of family and kids. We ate and ate until we could eat no more!  We always play a "white elephant game" which consists of everyone bringing a gift of $5 or less.  This makes it difficult because trying to find something under $5 is virtually impossible.  I lucked out this year and snagged some pool noodles on summer clearance.  All the kids help us adults choose or steal gifts from one another and then we unwrap and laugh at what we recieved.  Soon after the game was over...I am not joking it seemed like all the children began to meltdown at the same time...and the house went from full to the brim to just...
