Weather -4.4 currently, predicted to be a high of -3 this afternoon. Balmy, huh? I’m trying to remember why we didn’t take the Hawaii job.
Latest family project; grass head guys. This was our family home evening activity this week. Cute, huh? We’ll see if we can get them to grow. Morgan’s is the one with the apron, Rylee’s is the one with the green plaid button-up shirt, Daniel’s is the one with the nose, and mine is Rosa Parks, in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. day (is it even PC to say that, or to admit that I ran out of lighter colored nylons? If I get hate mail from this blog then so help me . . .).
Quotes from the last few weeks are, of course, more Morganisms. She watched Ghost Busters with Rylee and some of Rylee’s friends and it put her already active imagination over the top. So now it seems like all she talks about are ghosts and things being scary. At dinner the other night she said:
“Plus, who was the first person to see a monster, because they would be famous.” (I tried to follow this up with an agreement that, yes, in fact they would be famous and it would be very well reported, therefore, since we know nothing about it, then there must not really be monsters. Sorry, Mom, no sell for logical reasoning when monsters are concerned.)
“If there are no ghosts, why do we even have the word ghost?” (Ummmm, any help here?)
Then finally yesterday, after days of arguing about going downstairs (where her new bedroom is), or into the garage, or outside alone, she finally said to me, “I’ve gotten over the whole fear of ghosts thing.” And then after a brief pause she said, “Well, mostly,” with a little giggle. I sure love that silly girl!
And as a grand finale, she was reading a book that had a picture of a young adult woman painting her nails and primping and Morgan said she must be a “college girl.” I asked her why she would be a college girl. She said, “Some college girls think they have to be fancy - - just to get a boyfriend.” And to think that it took me until I went to Ricks to figure that one out!

it's -20 with the windchill.
hawaii is seeming pretty NICE right now.
cute morganisms. she cracks me up.
p.s. I am FREEEEEEEEEZING.
Wow, and I was feeling sorry for myself because it was 28 degrees and I had to scrape the windsheild of my van! Of course, it may have been embarassment that I was in my pajamas and all the neighbors were driving by on their way to work. But why should a housewife be dressed at 7 AM just to drive her daughter to school?
What cute grass head guys! Very creative. Hope you all stay warm.
So glad you guys are sticking around with the rest of us! Riley and Morgan, thanks for the McDonalds run on Saturday.
We sure love you guys and are so grateful you have adopted us into your family. Love, Grandpa Q & Grandma T
