BRANDY'S HOUSE

This is soooo not happening at our house. I don't know how they could
stand it. Our house is a constant comfortable 70 degrees at all times.
It's amazing how 6 degrees can make a huge difference.

BABYSITTING THE CALINATOR AND HIS LIL' BRO

As a present to Brandy, I have agreed to babysit the little tykes
while she, John, Halliwell and a couple of their friends got dressed
up to go and see "The Nutcracker" and have dinner this evening. I
thought that it would be a great opportunity for Halliwell to have her
parents to herald for once.

Cal said that his big sis worked on his hair this afternoon. Who needs
a beautician?

Tonight dad will take Mimi over to the gym for a team sleepover. Then
he will get the house to himself and be able to wrap gifts without
some little busybody finding out what Santa brought her for Christmas.

SUMMIT GYMNASTIC CHRISTMAS PARTY

THERE IS NO SLOWING THIS GIRL DOWN

This video says it all. If our next one has as much energy as this chili pepper, I am doomed.

THE CAST IS OFF!!!

Although the cast is off, I am still not out of the woods yet. Darn it! The bone is still on the mend but I just could not stand it one more minute with that darn cast on. It was reallllly bringing me way down in the dumps and I am a happy person by nature.

Long story short and with persistance, I was able to get the doc to take the cast off and put a brace of instead. Feeling soooooo much better now. Wrist does not hurt any longer but is still very weak. Still can't do too much. Getting better at being a leftie though.

FAMILY NIGHT

Tonight was spent watching a couple of Christmas videos. Something we enjoy doing during this particular season. Blake made a suggestion to Mimi and have all the kids write their names on her cast in green to keep up with the Holiday spirit.

The doc says that I need to rest my arm as much as possible.......yeah right. Kinda hard to do when we have a 7-8 year old at home who although has a cast is crawling or hopping around the house in between summersaults and jumping on the bed even with her cast on. EGADS!!!

Did I forget to mention that I caught the child getting ready to slide down the banister tonight??? Cast and all......."but mom it's easier going down the stairs this way!" says the girl.
