It's On Like DoNkEy KoNg - the countdown to court date...

Thanks for all the well-wishes. I am feeling much, much better.

We were in Clarinda from Tuesday to Sunday night, and there's nothing like good old fashioned cooking to perk anyone right up. In Stanton style, we had a wild time and even roasted an ENTIRE pig...in a HOLE...in the GROUND. That's right. They dug a hole, started a fire, and put a pig in it. It was interesting. Eden story boarded it- I will have to scan that baby in. Let't just say that Nia, Eden, and Elly have now lost their innocence when it comes to where meat comes from. Ick.

In other news...Eden lost her second tooth tonight! We were at the mall at 5pm after errands and I was letting them run off some steam in the play area- lo and behold, Elly's shirt stuck onto Eden's loose tooth as they rode down the veggie slide and POP! Out it came. Much easier than last time!!

This week has already started in a flurry, as I am counting down the days til our COURT DATE!!!!!! TWENTY TWO!!! Yippppeee.

As an aside...Eden found a board in the storage room and got a magic marker and wrote "CAT" on it and set it by the cat food bowl. She is some kid. She is reading like a crazy person! Today she stood over my shoulder and read my emails. Gone are the days of privacy! I'm very proud of her though. She's very bright :) And I am not just saying that because I'm her mother :)
