Long Time No Blog!
We haven't had a computer for a LONG time, so I haven't been blogging. Our computer died a slow death and we tried to fix it to no avail. Nate waited a lonnnnggggg time to buy a new computer, but we are back - FINALLY. I have been having computer withdrawals and the kids have too. I have posted several pictures that I had saved on our camera from the past three months. Enjoy!

New Rooms!
Well, I have been busy painting again! I repainted Aida's upstairs playroom and it is now their new schoolroom. We put up an ABC border like they have at school and hung their marker board. Nate took the blinds down and we just put up panels. The view from the windows was too nice for blinds! They love the room and I do too!! Aida specifically sat like a grown up with her legs crossed for this picture!
We sold the guest bed and got this new furniture for the kids so they now have an upstairs gameroom/tv room. I painted this room and we put the Wii up here also and all of their movies and karaoke machine! It is a nice extra room for them that they can be banished to when they are driving Nate and I crazy!! These little pieces make into little beds. The ottoman actually turns into a cot! Charlotte is already taking over! See her in the chair? We plan to get a sleeper or futon to go in the game room for adult guests! We just hated to waste the space and like this arrangement better! The kids do too!

We had a nice quiet Christmas at home this year. Gramp Gramps and Grandma Fay came over from Tulsa. The kids had a ton of presents as usual! Nate and I agreed not to get each other presents this year, but he broke the rule and go me a Nikon digital camera! No more dimly lit pictures! Yea! Santa brought the kids desks and a marker board and school supplies since they love to play school so much! They LOVED it. Henry claimed it was the best Christmas ever! We even had snow flurries! 
Everyone on Christmas morning after the present fest!

Ice Skating with Luebkers
We went ice skating at the new outdoor rink in Bentonville. It is nice and about 5 minutes from our house. The kids had fun. We went with our old neighbors Emma and Alex. The weather was decent....around 50 degrees. We went at a good time, because tomorrow the high is supposed to be 32!
Skulls Everywhere!
Henry got some skull/crossbones pj bottoms today. They match his robe and slippers. It took him about 30 seconds to finally come up with this pose! 
Upward Cheer!
Henry has played sports thru Upward since Kindergarten. Aida decided she wanted to do cheer this year for Basketball. She should get to cheer for a couple of Henry's games! It is so cute. They had a cheer clinic with the Washington Jr. High cheerleaders (the jr. high the kids will attend). They taught them two cheers and how to do a toe touch. She looks soooo cute in her uniform!

Door Contest at Work
The company I work for is very family oriented and is always doing some kind of activity. For Christmas, we are having a door decorating contest. We are to decorate our office door. I decided, since our main product is eggs, I would make a tree out of egg cartons and eggs. We also sell bagels - my wreath. I spray painted the bagels. The star on my tree is Chicken Ringos - another product we sell.
