Odds & Ends

Mikayla is trying to perfect her gymnastics and turned the living room into an obstacle course. She also enjoys playing horse show and making Grandma announce her and her horse before they perform. Mikayla likes to imitate The Voice and mimics what she sees contestants do on the show. I am sad to report that many of our alive and well family and friends have died so Mikayla has a sad story to say before she sings her performance. Mom and I then have to decide if she gets to be on our team or not. 

 Mikayla likes to use my headset from work to sing into. She also likes to pretend to work like Mommy and talk to her co-worker Kacie. 

 It was time for Sean to get new glasses. We couldn't agree on a pair to get but finally landed on this pair that are blue with a green stripe through them. They aren't quite as cute as his dinosaur pair but they still look good on him. 

 After Thanksgiving we had some whip cream for the pie and Mikayla insisted we get out the Pie in the Face Game they got last year for Christmas and play it. They kept pulling their heads away when they were about to get it in the face so I just smeared it in their face. That is what they get for cheating. 

 Grandma, the kids and I enjoyed time at the Three Forks Christmas Stroll. It was a cold night but we enjoyed hot chocolate, visiting with Santa, looking at the Gingerbread contest entries and the horse carriage ride down main street. 

 Nature continues to give us awesome bonuses. 

 Mikayla and Sean playing vet again. She was mad that I was taking a picture and Sean wasn't in it. 

With winter upon us we decided we needed to get Grandma out of the camper and into the house. We were ready to start sheet rocking at least her room, so Ethan and Ron worked to get it done while the kids and I were in Kalispell. Having sheetrock on the walls finally seems like we are making progress. Even though we've done a lot of work already this is where we start seeing the actual finish line. Grandma will be living with just sheet rock walls until Spring, when we'll have to move her out again to do the mud and taping. For now she is enjoying the warmth of the house.
