State of the Union - at our house

After watching the President give the State of the Union address last night, I began to think what is the State of our House. So here it goes:
Gas - got to have it and it is about $10.00 higher a week than we budget for ($2.35 a gallon)
Food - got to have it and it is about $20.00 higher a week than we budget for (due to the gas)
Love - got to have it and it is about as high as it has ever been (due to the cost of gas - we don't go anywhere therefore, we can spend as much time as we need loving).
Fun - got to have it and it is about as high as it has ever been (due to the cost of gas - we are staying home and making up our own fun).
Memories - we are making (due to the cost of gas we are staying home and making memories).
Cole and Katie have been sick most of the month of January so hopefully, the state of our house will improve with February in the sickness division. I have developed a new committee to spray Lysol to help improve air quality and germ destruction.
We are going to appoint a new committee to learn different card games - Uno is still the running game and the family is open for suggestions.
Home land security is at a new low with Rufus now missing. This committee will stay without a chair until further notice.
The Supreme Court has not changed at our house - Mom and Dad still rule.
The Federal Reserve Chair has not changed at our house - Dad still earns while Mom pays out.
Cole and Katie have developed a new committee that is responsible for building forts made of pillows and blankets. I am sure that they are keeping the Supreme Court out of their plans.
We have a bipartisan relationship with all parties and believe that we are heading in a positive direction.
That concludes the State of our House Address. I do not have time for any questions. Thank you.

Funny words

Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.

Swim Lessons

We had swim lessons for the first time on Thursday. Both kids really need to learn how to swim. They are taking lessons from a very sweet girl named Hannah. She is a swim coach and teacher. Needless to say, she has experience. Cole was in tears as soon as heard about the lessons. Katie was pumped up and ready to go. When we arrived at the pool, Katie began to cry. Cole was trying to be very brave. She taught them the proper way to enter the pool and talked to them about the difference between the deep end and the shallow end. The lesson started with the dead man's float. Katie was up first. Katie floated and then Hannah told her the proper way to keep her head up so that her ears were under the water. Katie did not like that one bit. Hannah then told her that she would count to ten and then help her up. As soon as Katie's head was floating, Katie began to count. Hannah then informed Katie that she was the teacher and she had the right to be the one to count. Th...

Fire Crakcer, Fire Cracker, Boom, Boom, Boom

Today is News Years Eve. The kids and I spent the day at home making a cake. David went to a football game. We gathered at Marty and Jennifer's house along with the Brake family (who are moving tomorrow to Boston) and all ate soup and cake. As darkness fell, we took to the street to shoot off LOTS of fireworks - most illegal. The kids had a ball running around with sparklers while all the women watched for the cops! The husbands would light and run. Yes - it was a grand ol' time celebrating New Years Eve in the south! Too bad the Brake family are moving up north - I bet they will never see such a show up there. Well, heres to a new year.
