PORN TREE

Our Mimi bless her little heart has trouble sometimes pronouncing certain words. In her words, hamburgers are pronounced hang-a-burger or it is also known to her as hang-a-booger.

Today while we were driving home from Liam's house, Mimi says to me "Mama, we don't have a porn tree." Mama says "Whut?" Mimi repeats "WE DON'T HAVE A PORN TREE!!!" It took mama a few minutes to figure out that Mimi was saying we don't have a PALM tree. Blake has a imitation Christmas light palm tree on his front porch.

FOUR F's

These past few weeks we have been doing the four f's around here. Food, fun, family and football. Mama has been busy trying out new recipes such as grandma's traditional Christmas gum drop cookies, cinnamon buns and such. Due to the cold wet weather, we all get together with Blake and his family quite often for food and football. We always have a lot of fun together, especially the kids. They all cry when it's time to part company. Today Mimi had two playdates along with pre-school.

This morning we all met over at Erin's for a small get together of pizza and fun. Then mama and Mimi took the short walk to school. After school, Mimi had a playdate with her school chum Liam at his home. A short 5 minute drive from school. By the time it was 5:30 pm was when we headed for home. We no sooner arrived home that we had our first black out. In the meantime, mama had taken Mimi and Blake to get dinner. When we finished eating at Blake's (their lights were on because they too have a generator), mama went home to help papa with ours. Papa no sooner got ours hooked up and the lights came on. Papa says that it was a good trial run.

Next thing we all knew. It was bedtime. Where does the time go when one is having so much fun?
