Things have finally settled down to a dull roar after all the Christmas excitement. The day after Christmas, julie went home and Mom came. That evening, Jon came over and we all had a lovely evening at Olive Garden. Afterwards, we sat around and reminisced about the kids growing up. They have some hilarious memories, some of which I hadn't even heard. Hannah told about Scott yelling "hannah belle" into the receiver when anyone called for her, even if she was right there, then, about 5 minutes into the conversation, he'd say " well, I have to go, and he'd stayed on the line the whole time! The kids all talked about flashlight hide and seek, how Scott would have the best hiding places for the kids, like behind the ceral boxes in the kitchen cupboard or behind the books on the shelves. They talked about his crazy prayers ("bow your ungrateful little heads" or "HELP US"). We finished the evening off with a loud game of cards called golf.
Friday we all hung out and that evening played some cards with Mom. She absolutely refused to hear some of the rules then went on to do well. Go figure.
Saturday morning Hannah and Scott went with me to take Mom home then go to Olathe to see Dad. We ate in the Aberdeen did in groom then played a couple of games of pool. It was a lot of driving but fun.
Saturday night two of Joel's friends came over and we ordered pizza and wings and watched k state basketball then te ksu bowl game. It was also quite fun.
We have eaten and laughed and gone to the gym and ate some more and played many games. I am enjoying this immensely.
