Change of Holiday Plans

Ok, so the holiday plans have changed. I heard it from Amber that Christina postponed her wedding, so Micah and I have decided not to come up to Idaho this weekend. We are defineatly coming up on December 7 for the baby blessing. We will bring up Christmas presents, and play Killer Bunnies all weekend, so it should be a blast. Natalie, be sure to tell Dad. I have tried calling Mom, but she wasn't home last night, so I will try again tonight.

So, another crazy thing that happened in our life is last night we reclaimed our bed and kicked the kids out... or at least that was the hope. Micah bought a new lock for our door because Jacklyn broke our doorknob lock, so any child could just waltz right into our room whenever they felt like it. That was always lovely. So Micah put the new lock on last night, and we kicked Jayden and Jacklyn out. Jacklyn screamed for two hours and kept saying in her squeeky Jack-voice, "Mommy, it's me, open the door." Then Jayden kept saying, "Jacklyn, I can't go to sleep with you screaming like that." Then she finally calmed down, and Micah went to go and check on the kids to make sure nothing crazy had happened because the last time we kicked Jacklyn out of our room she got so mad she opened the fridge and freezer doors and left them open all night. It was not good. Soggy ice cream anyone? When I reminded Micah of that story, he got up and opened the door to check on the house, and that was when Jacklyn saw her chance, and came into our room. She happily snuggled up into our bed and kept giving me loving smooches. Then when Micah came in she batted her little eyes at Micah, so she stayed. At least Jayden wasn't in bed with us. It is way too crowded to have 5 people and a cat in a queen sized bed. Last week, at five o'clock in the morning, Micah and I couldn't stand it any longer and went into Jayden's bunk bed. The two of us had more room in a twin bed than our queen bed. It didn't last long though, I woke up later and Jacklyn had become my pillow, and Addison had taken what room was left, so Micah and I went back to our bed...with the kiddies waking up and trailing behind us. I am very thankful that the lock works on our door again, and that even though we haven't reached our goal yet of no children in our bed, at least we can lay on our backs now at night, and not be interrupted when you know what is going on. Micah is home now, so I am leaving you all and wishing you a great day.
