Hey! Wait a Minute!

What's with the number on the cake?!? It's Woody's birthday and that is not the right number. Okay...here's the explanation...Nathan asked each of the children how old they thought Goosey was and then Nathan averaged the numbers the children guessed! The extremes...Elijah guessed 19 and Abigail guessed 75 and the rest in between with Joy guessing exactly right (66). Now, Elijah got a big laugh when Goosey asked him how old he thought Grammy was...Elijah guessed 100...oh, well, sometimes I do feel that old! We had a great time with the birthday bash over at their house. We went over after lunch for strawberry shortcake and vanilla ice cream. Yummy! Then we had presents and then entertainment! Joy balanced on a big ball and did her hula hoop, Graham had his robot dance for Goosey, Abigail juggled three bean bags while hula hooping, Isaac walked across the floor with his walker lion toy, Esther did a ballet dance, and I'm not sure what Elijah did...but I know something...kept us laughing if nothing else (just checked pictures and Elijah played the xylophone (as did Isaac))!!!! Quite an entertaining family! Woody got up and walked eight miles early this morning. The children have finished their school work for this semester. Abigail came over and read a Christmas story to me and then I read a couple to her and then we went upstairs and got out an "antique" Fisher Price record player and she listened to a couple of stories on records. Then Graham came over and he spent his time listening to stories on records, and then Joy came over and I read a book that Goosey and I gave her last Christmas. I spent the afternoon and evening sewing...more Christmas ornaments. Woody has just returned from walking to the church for his prayer room time. Happy Birthday, Woody! 'Tis the Season!
