Biscuits, Doughnuts, and Spiders, Oh My!

Clayton spent more time than usual working on homework and papers this week. The Law Students are all buckling down for a nasty week and half. They have midterms next Tuesday and a big paper due on next Sunday.

In other news, Nicole only threw up twice this week. She is starting to feel better. Which is great. We did have a late night KFC biscuit craving but that was fairly easy to resolve. We made a mini kitchen in our living room because Nicole thinks the kitchen smells like gasoline and or other flammable gasses.   She has several theories, Clayton is unconvinced but moved the microwave, the "easy bake oven", and a pantry shelf of food out into the living room. The plus side is that know we can reheat our meals with out getting up from the table. We have plans for the toilet, to complete the maximization of our living space/ eating habits.

Nicole got the details for her freelance graphic design job and is happy to be working again. She has also been baby sitting for some people in our ward. Luckily, she still likes children after her baby-sitting jobs.

We had a home invasion of the arachnid variety. Nicole freaked out! Clayton calmly caught it and over came Nicole's chants of "KILL IT! KILL IT! Its brown recluse its going to kill us in our sleep! Its already smelled our flesh!" Clayton drove it to a distant park and released it into the wild. While Nicole researched spiders and found out it was not a brown recluse. Brown recluses don't live in Virginia. (But they do live in Kentucky, beware!) Ours was a Funnel Web Spider.

We are looking forward to next week for several reasons. Members of the Woodbury clan are coming to visit us.

Big shout out to CalDon and the West Lake High Cross-Country Team for qualifying for state. We do have a question and or suggestion for the team. First, if you are the West Lake Thunder does that make you West Lake's Thunder Thighs? If not, then you should be and make jackets!

Props to Amanda for getting a "amazing life changing role." She is playing the part of Donna Anna in Don Giovanni.  The lead female role.  Clayton has been dying (not intended to be a factual statement) to find out what an opera singer does when they get the hiccups during a performance?

Clayton made doughnut holes for Nicole for breakfast on Saturday. He served them to her in bed as a surprise.


Nicole didn't tell Clayton about Roxanne's birthday on Friday and now he feels like a jerk. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY ROXANNE! 

Peace and Blessing are Back

(because we went to another ghetto Wal-Mart and are grateful we got out alive)
