Monday, December 27th, 2010 - 18th Day

Monday was a great day!  I went to the gym, and did 22 minutes on the eliptical, 500 jump ropes, 20 sit-ups with the 12 pound medicine ball, 20 curls, 20 box jumps, and 30 10lb medicine ball throws with Logan.   Then, I came home and went shopping with my Nicole and my girls.  It was fun, I was starting to get frustrated with one of my girls, so I just had to walk away, and all was well after a few minutes.  Sometimes, it's best just to walk away for a few minutes and cool down, especially when you're trying to be nice for an entire year!   Then, we came home and I went for a 30 mile bike ride with Debbie, Kerry, and Ken.   That night we went to the Anderson's and made gingerbread houses.  Kaylee and Amber made the coolest igloo, complete with a sled, a dog made out of tootsie rolls, and an eskimo made out of a nut.   Debbie made a cool tree, and Brian pretty much ate candy and talked with Mike about biking (you can't deny it Brian).  No, just kidding, Brian helped me, and our gingerbread house rocked.  It was pretty easy to be nice to everyone at the Anderson's, even when Kelly laughed when they told her that I was going to try and be nice to everyone.  Kelly's response,  "Kyle is going to try and be nice to everyone!" (imagine Kelly's hearty laugh here)  Luckily I restrained from doing my Ninja move on Kelly and taking her out right there, so my nice streak is intact.  Things I learned today, 1st, Don't do box jumps with a 17 year old boy, it will kick your butt (I know, this was supposed to be a lesson I learned previously, but I'm a very slow learner). 2nd, The frosting from the gingerbread kits can be used interchangeably with cement, seriously.  3rd, Don't do gingerbread houses more than once a year, or you'll look like a gingerbread house because you eat as much as you put on the houses (actually I think I put one part candy to every 3 parts I ate)
