Frousins

These girls are so lucky. So lucky to be friends and cousins. Frousins as they call it. This picture was taken at Rhonda's on Christmas. Can you imagine being 13 and having your best friend at your family Christmas? The best of both worlds.

Alli wants facebook

Alli wants to get facebook. I've put it off long enough and it's time. Randy and I decided to make her sign a contract first. So, I have copied it below in case some of you need one in the future. (I'm sure we missed some things and by the time Ethan wants facebook it will be more than just one page! ha!)


Alli Rice Facebook Contract

This contract is between Alli Rice and her parents, Randy and Sara Rice and shall begin on 01/07/2010.
The following rules apply to Alli's facebook account and computer use:
1. She has to be a friend of Sara Rice (and Randy Rice if he ever gets Facebook).
2. She can only be friends with someone she has seen face to face.
3. She cannot join any fan sites.
4. She cannot play any online games through Facebook.
5. She cannot change her status more than twice a day.
6. No profanity or vulgar language.
7. Randy and Sara must have her Log-in and Password and she cannot change either one without notifying them.
8. Computer time will be allowed AFTER all homework is done and there will be a set time to get off so that she will have adequate time to shower and get to bed.
If any of these rules are broken once, it will result in 1 week of no Facebook. If the rules are broken a second time, it will result in her losing her Facebook account.

Also, I changed it so you don't have to have gmail to leave a comment. If you are stopping by, I'd love to hear from you.

Operation Goobers to Drubers

A few weeks ago, my friend Lori emailed me about planning a midnight trip to Drubers for our 6th graders. For those of you not from this area, Drubers is an all night Donut Shop in Newton. I had never been there but am always up for a fun time. So "Operation Goobers to Drubers" was formed. We both did a great job keeping it a secret from the kids. The surprise might have been on us though, because Lori called me at 11:00 and told me to look outside. We were in a snow storm! That didn't stop us though. So at 11:40, I went downstairs and told the girls (Alli and her friend Anna) that it was time to go. They ran around going nuts trying to find their shoes and really freaked when they saw Frazer's van in the driveway. Good thing we drove separately because in between phone calls to Cade and Colton to try to guess where we were going, they were fixing their hair in the mirror. Girls, girls, girls! They had no idea where we were going but in the end, the two biggest guesses were Cosmic Bowling or a graveyard. I think they were happy with the outcome. Here are a few pics.The girls waiting in line....

This was my imitation of the old V8 commercials where everyone stood diagonal until they drank one. The kids were too young to remember them, but Lori thought I was funny.

Eating their donuts.

We made them pose for some pics afterwards. I'm not sure if Cade was trying to poke Alli in the eye or not. But it sure looks funny. Notice the girls are in their pjs and the boys are still in their band clothes from the field trip to Lindsborg. Gotta love the difference between boys and girls.

"Operation Goobers to Drubers" was a great success. I don't think any of them will forget their first trip anytime soon.
