On Their Way to the North Pole July 1, 2009
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Holidays, Kansas, My Former Dog Children, Princess Hannah , trackbackTwas’ the night before Monday and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While dreams of new ways to torture Paris danced in their heads.
When out in the sky there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my computer to see what was the matter!
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Ripped open the door and almost dropped some cash!
But what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Large hot air balloons, so near!
We pulled Hannah from her bed so fast,
We wanted her to see this, we knew it would not last.
The balloons were so colorful, so large, and so close,
Hannah pointed to all of them and said, “I like that one the most!”
Where are they going? Why are they here?
Hannah yelled, “They’re going to the North Pole to visit Santa and his reindeer!”
There you have it. This is exactly why hot air balloons were flying over our neighborhood in Kansas right around the 4th of July. TO GET TO THE NORTH POLE OBVIOUSLY.
Really, we should all start thinking about Christmas in July.

That is adorable–to get to the north pole. I love it!

Okay, I FINALLY caught up on your blog. Have I ever mentioned how delightful I find your writing? It’s wonderful. It’s to the point. It’s YOU! It’s even worth staying up past 1:00 in the morning to read, even though I KNOW my kids are going to be up at the crack of dawn. What am I thinking?!?
Hey, let’s get together when I get back in town. I miss you!
