Lizzie Can't Wait Until She's 18!!!!!

Lizzie wants to change her name to Bubbles.  Wade told her she can't officially change her name until she is 18.  Now she can't wait to change her name when she is old enough.  She kept talking to me about it at breakfast.  She also has changed her favorite color to blue. Guess what show Lizzie has been watching!?

Fog

This is fog in Rosevelt in January:

I just love it when everything looks like this! It is serene and lovely and it makes even the ugliest thing look fairy tale like. I won't worry that the fog could stick around for 3 months and make life really depressing. Today it is dipped in ice crystals!

Hannah and Herself...

Is there anything more to say? At least she knows her subject well!

Luke and Strep Throat!

So Luke's teacher called me on Thursday afternoon and said Luke had started crying and said he didn't feel good. He is really good at trying to get out of things by saying he isn't feeling good. So we decided to see if she could talk him out of it or at least get him to do something else. I know it sounds like I was being a mean mom but Luke fakes sick ALOT! I got a call 20 minutes later and I went to go pick him up. In the car on the way home he said he feels shaky, not his usual verbage for faking. His hands and feet were cold but he didn't really have a fever. I put him in the bath and then into bed. He fell right asleep. By the next morning he was burning up. After medicating him I called 8 different doctors to see if we could get him in. Well doctors in Rosevelt don't work on Fridays! I swear we couldn't get in to see anyone. So I had to wait for the night clinic which started at 4 p.m. He was due for another dose of ibuprofen at about 4:30 so he was burning up. 103.9. I had been so worried about him all day. It was strep throat! I didn't know it could develop so fast! Poor Luke. More bad news for him... he had to get a shot of antibiotics.  He told the nurses "It isn't polite to give shots!" Needless to say he was rewarded handsomely for enduring the shot. I tried to warn him that a shot was a possibility and he kept telling me they made him WEEPY. At least that is what I thought he said. No shots make him LIMPING! He milked the sick thing for as long as we would tolerate it. Thankfully he is feeling tons better and is back to school this morning!!! Although shots are not polite and they make him limping I am thankful that they work so fast and that I don't have to pay extra for them!!!!

 Ok so I got this book for Christmas from my good friend Rachel Wheeler. And it was terrific! I read it in like a day or so. I think everyone should read it. It takes place in Victoria England and is a mystery. One of the comments sums it up best when they said if Jane Austen wrote the Da Vinci Code this would be it. Not to mention there is a another book out already with the same cast of characters and it is just as good!!! Happy Reading!!

Lizzie Bug.....

I found some of these pictures when I was looking through iphoto today. I think Hannah took them. Lizzie is one crazy girl. Her new favorite snack is chocolate pudding with "whupped cream". Not WHIPPED cream WHUPPED cream. In fact she told us that she doesn't want a cake for her birthday just a big bowl of whupped cream! Which brings me to the point. Lizzie will be getting baptized on Valentines Day this year! So anyone who wants to and is able to please come! 

These are Lizzie's "ANGRY" eyebrows! 

I am not sure if she is sad or pouting in this one!!
