Another small town fact

The elementary school doesn't have a lost and found box.

and...

One of my boys left 15 dollars in cash in full view in his school cubbie for 2 weeks.  Nobody took it.

My Valentines Day Card from Matt

"Dear Sweatie, I love you.  Marrying you was the best decision you ever made for me."

He also gave me a dozen roses and took me to dinner (and Sam's club and Walmart twice.)  We also learned that a VW  bug full of groceries for 10 people is a deterrent to making out in the car.  ; )

Sayings XXXV

Titus "Mom, I'm putting on my new shirtleneck to keep my neck warm."

Also, I have to go to the elementary school and home 4 times today.  I'm really thankful they are only a block away.

Sayings XXXIV

Gideon: "I'm not chewing because I'm not dead."

Sam as I have never seen him before.

Alright - we paid the 5 bucks.  It will be paid for after 99 clicks on the ads in our side bar.  Peter Brown clicked on one for me so I am only out $4.95 at the moment.  Thank you Peter.

Anyway, there is a casino called Sam Boyd's Town.  Uncle Don is buying it for him a piece at a time.  I sent Josiah and Sam to take pictures of the stuff Uncle Don sent.  This is what I found on the camera later.

upgrades?

We are actually thinking about spending money on our blog. Since we ran out of room with the free account, we did some research and it will only cost $5 per year to have more space. The way I see it, if I was buying a diary or a scrapbook to keep my memories in, then I would spend more then $5 on the blank book. So, maybe its worth it.

We'll see.

Sigh.  Matt - I am not pregnant.

Although I did vote.  I voted for twins.  Maybe a surrogate mother??

Boo Hiss

Cannot add a blog picture today.  We used up our storage space. ; (  Maybe Matt has a solution.  but I will have to wait till he gets home.

He made it!

Our sweet friends Dan and Michelle sent us a care package this weekend.  Michelle sent us some treats, a jacket for me, and other fun items including a shoe we had left at their house in August.  One of the treats was a pound cake that she had baked a metal file into.  It was in celebration of Matt getting promoted from the prison to DOC headquarters.  Matt thought it was great!  We had actually squirrelled the pound cake into our bedroom before the kids got to it.  It was so funny watching Matt cut into it and wonderingly pull a wrapped up shank out of it.  

It was the best pound cake I'd ever had by the way.

BBBBRRRR

This morning the temperature was -39 with windchill.  Can you even imagine 70 degrees LOWER than freezing?  The difference between 100 and 30!  Whoo!  The district started school an hour late and it was still minus 26.  The boys walked to school but they were bundled well.  

Titus is wearing his backpack hoping I will send him to school.  Wishful thinking : )
