Something Happened...

Philomena came into my bedroom wrapped in a towel dripping water and declared, "Something's wrong with my shower.  I need to use yours."  I walked into her bathroom to find the shower head and hose totally broke off the ball.  "Mom, I just tried to adjust the shower head and then water was shooting all over, so then I just shut it off and came to your bathroom."  Um, ya, there's something wrong!  I'm glad we have two bathrooms so we were able to share until I had time to go buy a new shower head with hose.  I laughed and texted the pictures to my family and friends.  Yep, something's wrong, but I can replace it.

 

School Pictures

We all took great school pictures this fall!

 

Annual Family Christmas Picture

My little ball of fire kept things interesting as usual.

 

Lincoln Zoo Lights

The Lincoln Zoo Lights had a sensory friendly evening.  We got tickets through the Autism Society of Nebraska.  It was so enjoyable with less people and spaced entry to keep the lines short.  We enjoyed a train ride, seeing all the lights, seeing some of the animals more active due to it being night time, and hot cocoa with a cookie.  I'm really glad the society let me get 4 tickets so we could include mom with our evening.

 

Happy Birthday, Maggie!

We celebrated Maggie's birthday by going to Applebee's after church on Sunday when the girls came back to my house.  We enjoyed a nice lunch and some shopping.  She picked out tennis shoes and boots at Famous Footwear.

Happy Birthday, Maggie!!

Maggie chose pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream for her bday dinner.  She enjoyed receiving money for her bday.  I took her shopping and she bought tennis shoes, boots, and 4 long sleeve shirts.  The kids looked like a police line up on the wall - haha!  Arla is a great addition to the family!
