Yes, I know that it has been forever!!!! since I've blogged (according to some), but really, nothing that exciting had happened. Yes, some Nebraska cousins came up. Yes, they brought my grandparents their very first computer (which they call us for help for difficult tasks like turning it on). Yes, we got a new computer game that means that Dad, Sarah, and the boys are always playing so no one else can get a turn (if I could get on the regular computer instead of on Dads business computer, I could post some pictures). Yes, I finally broke the batting stick (yay me!). But as I said, nothing really interesting. Until this morning.
We got snow. Ok, maybe that doesn't sound interesting to some of you, but I WAS FINALLY STARTING TO SEE GREEN!!!!!!!!!! We should have had a 2 hour delay, but we are already going late at the end of school. I was going slow. Maybe about 30. I started fish tailing. I went in the other lane. I tried to get back in my lane. I went into the ditch. No this ditch wasn't a shallow city ditch. This was a deep steep ditch. When the car came to a stop, our nose was in the dirt. The person behind us stopped. My sister Sarah who was behind them stopped. I used a cell phone to call my dad to get the car out. The person behind us was related to us somehow and volunteered to take James and Michael to school. Sarah stayed with me until Dad got there (which was forever). It turned out that Dad decided that it would be a bad idea to try to pull it out so he drove it out. Looking at the car, I hadn't thought that that was possible. The car was ok.
But what really surprised me were the number of people who stopped to see if we were ok and if we needed help. Ok, so most of them were relatives, but not all. When I got to school, everyone knew. I walked into my 1st hour class (4 minutes late) and they had heard. It was weird.
But what really made my day was that in science class, my teacher lit a firecracker and through it into an adjourning room. It was hilarious.

The top 18 ways to confuse Santa
1. Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.
2. While he's in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.
3. Leave him a note, explaining that you've gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.
4. While he's in the house, replace all his reindeer with exact replicas. Then wait and see what happens when he tries to get them to fly.
5. Keep an angry bull in your living room. If you think a bull goes crazy when he sees a little red cape, wait until he sees that big, red Santa suit!
6. Build an army of mean-looking snowmen on the roof, holding signs that say "We hate Christmas," and "Go away Santa"
7. Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home.
8. Set a bear trap at the bottom of the chimney. Wait for Santa to get caught in it, and then explain that you're sorry, but from a distance, he looked like a bear.
9. While he's in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn't have missed that last payment, and take off.
10. Leave a plate filled with cookies and a glass of milk out, with a note that says, "For The Tooth Fairy." Leave another plate out with half a stale cookie and a few drops of skim milk in a dirty glass with a note that says, "For Santa"
11. Take everything out of your house as if it's just been robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like a policeman and say, "Well, well. They always return to the scene of the crime."
12. Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections.
13. While he's in the house, cover the top of the chimney with barbed wire.
14. Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where Santa's sure to see them. Go outside, yell, "Ooh! Look! A deer! And he's got a red nose!" and fire a gun.
15. Leave Santa a note, explaining that you've moved. Include a map with unclear and hard-to-read directions to your new house.
16. Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill.
17. Paint "hoof-prints" all over your face and clothes. While he's in the house, go out on the roof. When he comes back up, act like you've been "trampled." Threaten to sue.
18. Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with Easter eggs. Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, "This neighborhood ain't big enough for the both of us."

sounds like an adventure! what was the reaction of the class that was interupted by the firecracker? :P
A real 'you'll burn your hand off' firecracker or a 'tiny bang' firecracker?
Sounds funny (the firecracker story)! Sucks about the car in the ditch, though. That would be scary.
funny firecracker story, which teacher? Ya, with my leg breaking, even people outside of VBS knew about it within a week. And when I got to school, it was old news to everyone. I WANT GREEN!!!
and by the way... i was looking at your side pictures (which I think you must update for the season), and I thought... is softball STILL your life?
Softball is starting up again. The other class wasn't too happy with us, which just made it even more funny. It was a blackcat firework and Mr. Dickes lit it and threw it.
he goes to my church and i know him pretty good. tell him your related to mitchell!
funny!
cool about the firecracker. not cool about the ditch. miss you lots!
ditches are not fun. we had someone run into an electrical pole by our house recently, and they didn't even have the excuse of snow. it knocked out our power, so i thought it was really late but ended up getting to school really early
Interesting! I promise you that I knocked down no poles. So when how long until you got your power back?

I will put up the pics and send them to you. I just haven't had time yet... How was your trip?
The trip was great. We didn't get stuck! :) Haha. We navigated and drove all the way home without help either! Thanks again for having us we had soooo much fun with you! :D
