Dancing balloons & Santa Claus

Today December 21, 2007 We were driving along a road and came to one of those "houses for sale" signs -- the kind advertizing new subdivisions of some kind. Well attached to the sign were some balloons that had strings on them. Well when we drove past the sign Thomas said, " those balloons were dancing! " The wind was really strong and blowing them around pretty wildly. Just this last week : He also had noticed that an blow up Santa Claus Balloon on top of a car dealership just down the street from us was not being aired up at the time and said, " Uh oh -- Santa fell down, mommy!"

This happened just this morning: Katherine: " Thomas, are you going to be scared when we go swimming in Idaho, at the hotel? " Thomas: " No, I'm gonna be a guy."

What??

On Monday December 17th, I went to the school to pick up Kaylee because she was feeling sick. So I went to tell Katherine not to wait for Kaylee after school. She said, "Okay" then Katherine's friend, Bryanna came to me and said, " My family is going to Texas this week. Can Katherine come with us?" I tried not to laugh out loud. But it was sweet of her to think of Katherine.

Here's a picture of Katherine with her friend Bryanna.
