Love That "Cedar Fever"
All day I have been feeling tired and my eyes have been irritated. Finally someone reminded me that Cedar pollen counts have through the roof and that is most likely the cause. After seeing this short video I am sure they were correct!

Gotta love Central Texas this time of year. Great weather....if you can stand to be outside.
Crazy life we live
So this morning the twins woke up and told me that they had homework for school and it was due today! They must write out their complete address. So, we get the paper and pencils out and start writing! Phoebe states, "I don't want to live in Texas, I want to live in Alaska!". I tell her about all the snow and cold there and how she would have to wear a hat, gloves and a scarf everyday. She then gives me her sad, pitiful look and states, "It's too hard for me to love you all the way to Alaska everyday.....I want to go with you to work in Alaska!"
To this, Chloe states, "Do what I do. I put a huggie and kissie in her lunch everyday, that way it is not so hard for me."
I recruit for a Hospital Group in Alaska. I sit in my pajamas, in my warm office and talk on the phone all day! I do not go to Alaska everyday, but my poor little girls think I fly to Alaska everyday to work AND it is just too much for them to send their love with me.
It was a wonderful way to start the day and I am still smiling about it!
Enjoy your life!!

A New Year Begins
Well the Holidays are over and a new year begins. Our Christmas was great and never ending. I think we did gift exchanges four days in a row trying to accomodate friends and families schedules. Papa came in from Arizona with his RV which is always a treat. Usually the girls are constantly wanting to go out to the RV because Papa always has candy. This go around we had so much sweet to eat in the house they did not have to go out to the RV to get their fix. Meme, my sister and her husband, Ed, made it in as well.
This year, the gifts from Meme and Papa were a big hit. They each purchased a Barbie ride-in car for the girls. These things are huge and I am considering adding on to the garage. If they had their way, the girls would cruise the entire neighborhood but we are trying to limit them to our yard and a treed lot across the street. A few days before christmas there were only a few presents under the tree and I thought we were going to have a modest Christmas - but boy I was wrong.
Christmas morning was a lot of fun. We could hear the girls awake in their room but they wouldn't come out of the room. We finally went to get them. When they did come out they said they had heard Santa and didn't want to come out because they were afraid that he might leave. I wonder what they heard and who gave them the idea that Santa would leave if they came out of the room if they heard him???
Here is short video we made about what they heard:
We celebrated the New Year in grand fashion. We stayed up just long enought to see the New Year come in and then went straight to sleep. I wonder if we are getting old?
Anyway, Happy New Year and may this one be better than all the others.
