Jeremiah
Today, Jeremiah is sick, so he's home leaning over my shoulder looking at my blog. He says he wants a blog. It would probably be much more interesting than mine. He'd talk about baseball, and science. I'm sure you'd find it fascinating. He's really quite brilliant! Of course, I might be a bit biased.

Our Weeekend Away
By the way, the hotel we stayed in was amazing, too. It was a big room and beautiful! As far as what we did at the hotel by ourselves with no children, besides have a big, wonderful buffet breakfast the morning after the party that didn't involve food landing on the floor, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Our Weekend With The Boy Scouts
Well, Josh and I had a wonderful weekend! The party was fantastic! Great food, great company, great games! Such a fun group! I met lots of great people! We may be broke with this job, but Josh gets to work with some great people, doing very good work! Helping our future to become the best men they can be!

Heading Out
Well, I'm going to be leaving in just a little while for a Boy Scout Pow-wow. Right now the kids are packing for their night at grandma's. I think they're trying to pack their entire rooms into one bag! I'm not looking very festive, but I have a tendency to lose things when I bring too much, so I'm not wearing earrings or anything. I don't want to lose my Christmas earrings! I'm really tired, so it's going to be a long day.

I'm Leaving Town (Seriously, This Is A Big Deal!!!)
Tomorrow morning after Angela's hockey practice the Paparazzo's are leaving town! You have no idea how exciting this is! I haven't left Moscow since the Friday before Thanksgiving and then I only went to a small town about a half hour drive from here. Before that, the last time was last summer when I went to my grandpa's funeral. I really am too broke to go anywhere, so this is exciting! We're taking the kids to their grandma's house in Deary, but then Josh and I are going to Spokane, I believe. Or somewhere around there. And his boss is putting us up in a hotel! This is REALLY, REALLY EXCITING! I know, I'm easily amused. This is what happens when you have no money. Anything that gets you out of town is exciting, even if it is a Boy Scout employee pow-wow and staff Christmas party, with a night in a hotel. It's really kind of sad the simple things that get me excited. I mean the pow-wow will probably be really boring for me, since I have no idea what's going on with the Boy Scouts and have nothing to contribute, but just the idea of doing something without my children tagging along (not that I don't love them), and with my husband, alone, really sounds cool! Very Cool!!!!

A Paparazzo Thanksgiving
Since I never really told you all about our Thanksgiving, I thought I'd tell you now, even though it was rather normal except for when Josh burned his leg. Well, why don't I just start at the beginning.
It started the weekend before Thanksgiving on Friday night, when we went to Josh's Mom's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Everybody was busy doing other things the rest of the week, so that's why they decided to do it early rather than not be able to have Thanksgiving at all. So, we went out there on Friday night after helping Josh with some popcorn organizing for the Boy Scouts. We got out there shortly before dinner. It was really noisy with Candy and Danny's 5 kids, Amy's 3 girls, and our 3. Actually that is an understatement. It was INSANELY LOUD!!!! Just so you get the idea. After dinner, we had a bonfire, so they could burn some brush. Don't worry, they had a permit. Anyway, after starting the fire we went inside and had some pie, before Josh and his brother Raymond, headed back out to work on burning the brush. It had been raining during all of this and Josh was wearing denim jeans. They were slightly damp from the rain while he was scooping stuff into the fire. He got too close to the fire and his pants started steaming on the inside. He felt like he was on fire, so he moved away from the fire and stopped, dropped, and rolled like your supposed to. It was dark, so when Raymond saw him rolling, he assumed he was on fire and ran over to pat the fire out, but he wasn't on fire. I didn't actually see this happen, cause I was in the house with the women and kids. Josh came running in and took off his pants. (Apparently pain takes away any sense of modesty one might have.) He needed to get something cold on it right away. To make a long story short he suffered second degree burns on his leg. He's still treating them and we've got a few different medicines that are working quite well for those of you who might be concerned. Not long after we treated and wrapped his burn we returned home. He was in a lot of pain for the next few days.
We were going to go to my parents house the next Wednesday, but I woke up early Tuesday morning with a very stuffy nose and achey all over, so I called my mom and cancelled our trip. Usually when I get a cold, I'm sick for at least a week. Not this time. After a VERY miserable Tuesday, I woke up Wednesday morning feeling almost completely back to normal. I still didn't want to risk getting my family sick, so we still stayed home. We went to our church where some of our friends were putting on a dinner for anyone who wanted to come enjoy dinner there and didn't have somewhere else to go. It was a really delicious dinner, and we enjoyed spending the time with our friends. We didn't stay long, since Josh was still in quite a bit of pain from his burn and wanted to get home, where he could vedge on the couch and not move much, letting his leg heal. Well, like I said, not too eventful, but that was our Thanksgiving!

Genesis 1:20-23
Genesis 1:20-23
And God said,"Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, " Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day.
Oh, goody! Now we're getting to the good stuff! The animals. Not a real big fan of fish or birds, but I absolutely love whales and dolphins! I'm a particularly big fan of the Orca. Otherwise known as the Killer Whale. Such a terrible name for such a beautiful creature! How about you? What is your favorite creation from this day?
