A post of randomness.
I finally got all the Christmas decor taken down and cleaned up! I am so excited, because it seems like most years I put it off until after the new year. This year I can focus more on partying in the New Year and not having to worry about getting the cleaning done before Monday. Nice. Very nice!
These cool people are coming to our house for New Years! I am so excited. I hope they don't get too bored with our po-dunk town. lol Either way, we can party hard, play lots of games and eat lots of food!
The one part that I do not like about winter - dry skin. Ouch. I have so many cracks on my hands and I am horrible about applying lotion consistently. It is a habit that I need to develop. Is there such thing as waterproof lotion? I wash my hands far too much during the day.
Speaking of ouch, and hands... yesterday when I was packaging up some lights in a cardboard box, I got a BAD cardboard cut on my palm. Ouch! Gotta love those, aye Michelle? Takes you right back to the good 'ole days at Smead. Ugh.
My legs ache today. You know, like "growing" pains ache, but times ten. Ouch. I hope it passes soon. Guess I was on my feet a little too long yesterday.
So one time I read in a blog post that you are only suppose to put one space after a period now-a-days. (And she's smart. And a better reporter than I would ever be.) I really, really, really try hard to do it, but I seriously cannot change the habit that I developed all those many years ago. How do you fix a habit like that? Seriously.
I am tending today and MyMy is still sleeping. Silly girl! It's almost 9:00, that is unusual. Mal, on the other hand, has some serious bed head. lol (She woke up right after I typed that.)
By the way, this is going to end up being an all day entry.
I think I left my phone home. Dang. I hate that. What ever did we do before cell phones and internet?
I keep neglecting to mention our Christmas Eve. I was great! We went to Dustyn's sister's house and had dinner and games. Fun times, fun times. Of course we had Steak and Crab because that is the tradition. (thanks guys, it rocked) Then we played a few games. They were even good sports and played Quelf with us. If you have never played it, it is a super crazy game. Crazy, I tell you. But there was definitely good food and good times. (Thanks again guys!)
Oh yeah, I took ZERO pictures during the Christmas Holiday. What is up with that. I have one small video of Dustyn opening his present and that is all. At least I have that! Oh yeah, and pictures of the race track. :)
Dustyn is so funny with his race track. I walk in the room and there he sits staring at his tracks. (during the 15 minute rest time) He comes up with a new configuration tries it out, makes adjustments, tries something new, and over and over again. It makes me laugh. He's cute. Here is one of the tracks he came up with last night.
I have a lot to clean up. So many new toys! But for sure a disaster. Guess I should get busy. I guess that is all for now. Have a great Tuesday people!

Traditional Caroling
Tonight we went caroling with the youth in our ward. It was fun, but it was SO cold. It couldn't have been warmer than 25 degrees F. So, so cold. Especially when you are riding on a hay wagon! It really was fun though. And we had yummy hot chocolate from the dairy and cookies. Yum.
I can't believe our weather changed so fast. Right now it is currently 16 degrees F (-8 degrees C). Then you add in the wind chill. Burrrr.... It is a cold night and I am sure it will only get colder! It is suppose to get down to 2 degrees F (-16 degrees C) tonight. Cold. And winter is only starting!
(I just noticed Saturday's forecast: High: 22 degrees F (-5.5 degrees F) Low: -5 degrees F (-20.5 degrees C) Time to pull out the coat, I guess!) :P

Ice Fishing!
We are so excited for it to be Ice Fishing Season!! We were thinking about going tomorrow and trying out dad's new gas Ice Auger. But there is a storm rolling in and it is suppose to be a good one! There is a possibility of a few inches in the valleys. Of course it seems like all the snow and rain just kinda skip over our little valley.... so we more than likely won't get much.
You would think that would be a good thing... for the weather to skip over us and to have a mild winter, but at the same time, if we are going to have the below freezing temperatures, we might as well have the snow to go along with the temps! :)
It was nice today, in the lower 50's. But right now the wind is blowing like crazy. I am hoping that our trees and house are still standing in the morning.
Other than that... not much happening around here today.
I am super excited to watch American Idol soon. It is tempting to get our dish hooked up again or get cable so we can watch. How lame am I? But I am thinking we will just end up at Mom and Dad's house on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I hate when I get so consumed into watching a TV show. It seems silly. But I sure enjoy it anyways! As long as it is only one show that I just can't miss.
Well I guess enough of this rambling. I will be back when I actually have something to say. :)
