Additional Information about a Previous Posting

In a previous posting, I mentioned the antics of Will and Hannah from a few years ago. While looking through some old e-mails, I found the letter below. It had been sent out on November 30, 2005 to some family and friends. I had my dates all wrong, but this will give you more in depth understanding of exactly what Hannah and Will got into. Since I thought it was hilarious, I thought you might get a kick out of it too. To give you a timeline, the first incident (the mousse) happened on Friday, November 25, 2005. The last incident occurred Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Please pray for us because we really need it.

Most of you know about the incidences in North Carolina with the kids. For those who have not heard, Hannah and Will put my hair mousse all over Will’s head on Friday and some shampoo in Will’s hair on Saturday (just as we were getting ready to leave for home). The first thing Monday morning, they broke Will’s piggy bank, got into some expensive lotion, and got into the wipes…all within five minutes. Monday evening, they both got into Mike’s foot powder and had it all over our bedroom: bed, computer, floor, television, computer chair, etc. Tuesday evening (they were at school that morning and afternoon), they decided to play with the diaper rash medicine. It is the really thick kind that is very sticky. They had it on Will’s toy tool bench, the dresser, the rocking chair seat cushion, their clothes and in their hair. Will had it all over his head but Hannah had it only in one stripe across the top of hers. We found out that there isn’t much that will remove diaper rash medicine. Mom and I tried Dawn dish detergent, regular dish detergent, clothes detergent, Spray N’ Wash and Vinegar. Vinegar works pretty good; we’re going to try using baking soda tonight to remove the reside that’s left. The tragic thing is most if not all of these things were put up out of the kid’s reach. I think they are related to monkeys.

Pray for them and Mike and me. We all need it.

Two Birthdays

Today, we are celebrating two birthdays. The first is my Great-Aunt Sybil. She is a dear, sweet woman who loves the LORD and her family. The second birthday shout out goes to Daphne, Mike's step-mom. She is also a sweet woman. Happy Birthday ladies!! We love you both lots and lots!!!!

Major Kudos for Hannah

This post will be all about Hannah. Today was her last day at school. She also got her final report card today. I am proud to say my baby (not such a baby anymore, is she?) is going into the SECOND GRADE next year!!! I am also proud to say she made the PRINCIPAL'S LIST with all A's!!! Her 4th 9 weeks grades and her End of Year Averages were both all A's !!! Mike and I both are VERY proud of her and her school work.

YEAH HANNAH!!!

Awards Day

Today was Awards Day for First and Second Graders at Hannah's school. Hannah received an award for making A's and B's all year long. Most of the first and second graders received awards for Honor Roll. Quite a few more received one for making all A's. Hannah's best friend Brittney got a Principal's List or Achievement Award for making all A's this year. The curriculum this year was a lot more difficult than the previous years. It was amazing, and a testimony to the school, so see so many students who excelled this year in their studies. We are soo proud of our little scholar!!! Way to go Hannah!!!

Belated Birthday

Happy belated birthday to my GRANDMA!!! Her birthday was Friday. This morning while I was thinking about what all I had going on today, it dawned on me that I did not mention her birthday when I posted last night. Sorry, Grandma!! We love you!!

Good Weekend

Saturday was beautiful! The temperatures were warm, the sky was clear and my dad and step-mom came down to visit. Later that afternoon, Hannah went to a classmates' birthday party at the local bowling alley. All the kids had loads of fun. While we were gone, Mike installed our new water fountain for our front garden. It has an old fashion water pump that pumps water into a small wooden barrel. The small barrel then flows into a larger wooden barrel. It is really cute.

Today, Mike's softball team played a double header after church. The temperature was nice and there was a light breeze blowing. We took a couple of our awnings for people to sit under to stay out of the sun. Our team won the first game but lost the second. After the games, we had hamburgers and hot dogs. The kids are exhausted from playing. They should sleep good tonight.
