The South

Where tea is sweet and accents are sweeter; summer starts in April; front porches are wide and words are long; macaroni and cheese is a vegetable; pecan pie is a staple; Y’all is the only proper pronoun; chicken is fried and biscuits come with gravy; everything is darling and someone is always getting their heart blessed. -unknown

More Reesisms

The other morning at breakfast:
(whining) "Mommy, Harley's looking at me!"

The other night Brent wasn't feeling well and Reese told my mom, "Daddy's golf ladder is hurting his tummy."

Coldest Yet?

With this picture, we know that it is the coldest it has ever been since we have been living in Wetumpka. There was ice in the pond!

The ice is half way out into the pond below.

Even though I don't have a picture, the ducks were still out playing in the water. CRAZY!

Santa came to Brent and I.....really!

Santa Claus came to our house this year.

Really.

I'm not making a joke... he really did.

On Christmas night we were cleaning up things in the living room. We found this toy, and when I say toy, it was more like a computer gadget for an adult. See the link here. I didn't buy it. Brent didn't buy it. I called all of the family members that were at our house that day. No one brought it, nor did anyone know anything about it.

SANTA!!!!

This morning I was trying to decide what to wear. It is FRIGID in Alabama right now. I don't own too many things that would keep me warm in 19 degree weather! I had some clothing laying on the floor beside my chest of drawers. It was laying there because it won't fit in the drawers. (I KNOW that means I need to clean out my drawers, but that isn't the point of this story.) I look over at it and there is this shirt that would be perfect to wear under a sweater. I have never seen it before. I don't know where it came from.

SANTA!!!!!

I am sticking with the story that Santa really did come to see us. In fact, I rang our Polar Express bell that was hanging on the tree, and I could hear it ring.

I guess we made the "nice" list this year.

Reesisms

1. Overheard from the backseat of the car the other day, "Brooks I just threw a booger on you."

(nice)

2. Reese telling me that he didn't want to go to bed until "thirty-mine." I asked him if "thirty-mine" is what he said, and he said, "Yes, it is after twelve."

3. Yesterday at lunch he said, "I wish I was a fish." I said, "A fish?" He said, "Yes so I could swallow up Jonah. It would be all yucky inside of me, and then I would spit him out."

Finally...some Christmas pics

I somehow managed to delete a bunch of pictures I took at Christmas. Oh well!

Brooks sitting on our bed waiting patiently to go see what Santa brought.
This is Reese waiting....not so patiently.Look, it is The Clone Wars (upside down).Did I ever mention Reese loves swords?This was one of the gifts that Gammie gave Reese. (You can tell in his eyes that he was still sick.)Now he is Knight Buzz Lightyear!Brooks learning how to play the Wii.We had a good time gathering with friends and family this Christmas. We are so glad Reese is finally better and Harley is back with us. He is on the mend and is loving all of the attention and "inside time" he is getting.

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holiday season!
