Sisters book

Since Ann and Lori are the only people who read this, I am going to put this on here and get your ideas.  I am thinking the three of us need to write a collaborative book titled:  The Truly Exaggerated Lives of the Jones Girls.  Maybe other sisters would read it and laugh out loud as I seem to do everytime I have some type of liquid in my mouth.  I also pee my pants - which is embarrassing, but only you two know about it!

Still updating

I wanted to add cute and witty captions to each picture below, however, I am still a blogging "nube" and was not able to figure out how to go back and do that.  I will get it - by 3:30 this morning!  Addie's snowman was created at school with lots and lots of mushy, gooey papier mache.  It was a fun day to walk into her class and have the teacher ask if I had any time I could spare!  She also wrote a story about it.  The Christmas kids includes the B-E-A-utiful tree that we used this year.  It was a lovely thing to behold with its quasi-Victorian theme and purple/silver/white color scheme.  Those colors just SCREAM Christmas!  It served its purpose, however, as Santa delivered his gifts and ate the cookies (the imaginary cookies, as someone forgot to actually set them out).  The family picture is the one that will be included in our annual - to arrive sometime in July - Christmas DVD.  It is 90% finished, but I haven't the energy to complete, burn and send.  Someday!  

A few new pictures

Late nights/Early mornings

Yes, it is 1:39 am and I am finally updating my blog.  I was asleep, then I woke up and remembered I had forgotten to renew my auto insurance, then I couldn't do that because I lost my driver's license and now I am thinking I will never sleep because I can't figure out how to renew my auto insurance without my driver's license and WHEN will I get to Montrose during 8-5 (closed 12 -1) to get it???  Life on the mesa, complete with snowmobile excursions at 6:30 in the morning, has its challenges.  I am contemplating the life of a hermit.  If I give up the car - no car insurance necessary.  Then, I can have a great excuse not to go anywhere, therefore, relinquishing all responsibility to the outside world.  I could blog all day - giving very meaningful responses to the millions of people who currently have time to update their blogs quite often!  Of course, I have at least one child who might protest, as she is quite certain she needs to have a social life or she will stop breathing.  I also have this ridiculous need to eat - therefore, I must either hunt (completely out of the question) or go grocery shopping - therefore, reinstating the need for a car, and therefore, the need for auto insurance - and a driver's license.  HMMMM, what to do?  Read a book and hope it is boring enough to put me to sleep by 4:30, so I at least get a quick cat-nap before the alarm shocks me back into reality at 5.
