Christmas Lights!!

We went and saw the Christmas lights show last night. It is this huge neighborhood and they all put up a bunch of lights. Mel, Beck, Ariel, Caleb, Eric, Lizzie, and I all went in the van. We made some hot chocolate to drink on the way. We had a little problem getting in. There was along line of cars that looked like they were turning and so we got in the other lane to pass them all and then the line kept on going past the light, so when we got closer to the neighborhood where it starts we realized we had cut in front of a WHOLE bunch of people. We had no choice but to get over as soon as possible but we still passed a bunch of people. Oh Well! I'm not complaining too much. LOL So then when we got to the neighborhood we popped the trunk and Caleb and I sat in the back and looked at all the lights. It was fun. Then Caleb went and sat in the front and Mel joined me in the back. We drove around some more. At one point there was a blow up that was tipped over and we wanted to see what it was. We were going slow so Mel jumped out and went and pulled it down and fixed it! Then she jumped back in. That was her good deed of the day! lol
All in all we had a great time!
Sunday was fine at church. Lizzie did her typical exploding and I had to take her tights off. And when we got home we went about our day until Eric asked where his shoes were, I asked what for and he said because the house down the street is on fire. I was like WHAT! sure enough the house was on FIRE! Eric ran over there and got the neighbors hose and started spraying the side of the house not on fire and the house on fire! It is a good thing he did so the fire did not spread to another house. There was a MAN on the roof of the house. Crazy Man! Everybody told him to get off the roof several times! He finally did. The fire department came and it took them 20 mins. Then they spent ten minutes setting everything up before they actually turned on the water. I don't know how it runs and all the prep work required but that seems like a long time! They got it out eventually but that delayed the rest of our day. Our Home teachers could not come down the street the police stopped them. So that delayed me from going on my visiting teaching. And I got home late and delayed Eric getting to his scout meeting!
Today I get to pay more bills and some tithing. Finally! I hate waiting for paychecks to come in! We have a plan and it will take a while but we will see through and be clear eventually!
