I think someone is allergic

We spent the night at my mom's house a few weeks ago and Novalee was playing with the cats when we got home her eyes were red and itchy. We figured that she must be allergic to cats. Then yesterday we went to my dads and she played with his dog. Her eye was so swollen that she couldn't open it very wide. I took these pictures a few hours after we got home. (She kept posing for the camera)

*Bonus news! Bonny is back in town and I am so happy. We get her until the 30th. I know she misses Junaid but hopefully we can see him in March.

Novalee has problems

We went to Grandma Karen's house on Saturday to decorate cookies. Novalee however, had more important things on her mind. Like kissing Logan (Crystal's son, her cousin!) She kept saying. "Logan protects me" and that she wanted to kiss him so much. She kept following him and kept trying to shut the two of them in the bathroom together. On the way home she kept talking about how much she loves Logan. We had a talk on how you can love your cousin.

By the way Crystal, I hope you don't mind I put a picture of Logan on here. He is really cute!

Gunnar's pretty nails

So I was feeling a little unmotivated one day to do any house work. (Like most days) Forget about homework, finals were coming up so I thought, Lets paint our nails!! Harley got to do her own nails and Gunnar felt left out so we let him get his nails done. He liked his toenails but tried to wipe off the fingernails. I emailed Jason the picture too. It was fun!

We got Cooties!!

One of the great fun things we have been doing lately is playing games with the kids. No matter what we play it ends up with Novalee crying because the world is against her, Harley letting Novalee win because she is crying and Gunnar trying to growl at the game, Jason is getting mad at Novalee because she is crying again and I am the only one trying to beat everyone else. I am very competitive. Here is a picture of Gunnar playing with some of the Cootie bugs after we were done playing.

Things that bug me

Ok I have been annoyed by so many things lately so I thought you should know

1. Why can people not tie their shoes? Don't they know how dangerous it is to have shoelaces flying everywhere? Not to mention that it is a risk because your shoes might fall off and they would fall down. Also have you ever seen those shoelaces?? GROSS!!



2. People walking down the sidewalk. People walk down the sidewalk and sometimes get in my way when I am trying to get out of my driveway. Don't they know what reverse lights mean?? It means that I am backing up so move it. I hate honking my horn so that they will move.



3. Stupid people. Need I say more?



4. I am soo annoyed that sometimes I forget what I am talking about while I am talking. Duh why do people bother me? Then I won't forget what I am talking about.



5. I can't stand the color green. In my house Christmas colors are red and pink. Green is for frogs and dinosaurs not Christmas trees.



6. I hate when people take my picture and my eyes are closed. Can't they wait until I open them? Really how rude is that?



7. I cannot stand people on the news. They look like total dorks, "Ha ha, um I think, um, I think that 50 people died last night. Not that its funny but I farted during the commercial so thats funny, um I think."



8. When they have a marathon of Ghost Hunters and they show the same episodes as a few weeks ago instead of ones they haven't aired in a few months!



9. When I wake up and my Christmas tree somehow has its ornaments moved around. I fix them everyday but I have a feeling I have nighttime wanderers around my house.



10. That people get offended too easy. Relax. Not everything is about you.



11. I can't stand when my kids don't live up to their potential. Last night I was trying to teach Novalee long division and all she wanted to do was memorize her multiplication tables


12. Don't you hate it when the tooth fairy forgets to come because she fell asleep?
