LOSERS..........

It was not a good sports weekend in our house....all of the teams we watch and support LOST.

First, we had Michigan's loss on Saturday {Tim was disappointed but says they did not play well..I will take his word on it}.





Then we had our beloved Browns lose to none other that Pittsburgh on Sunday - can they ever get the lead and keep it? I mean come on, they were winning and they gave it away. At least in the era of the Cardiac Kids they were winning games in the last 2 minutes, not losing them!!





Finally, we have the Colts ~ normally they play really well but yesterday's game was AWFUL...they deserved to lose. Maybe now with the focus on being undefeated behind them they can move onwards.

SO Blue

OK...enough with the OSU jabbs :-) We all know that Tim will always support his Alma Matter but I could care less who won the game.

So Ohio States has the Big Ten title but the two teams could actually play again for the National Title if the BCS goes Michigans way :-) Tim would be SO excited if that happens as he can actually watch the game on TV in January.

Christmas Card Photos

Well it is that time of year again.....
trying to get Christmas card photos. It is a ritual that the kids do not like as I have them pose for too many photos and usually only 1 or 2 are actually card worthy :-) This year has been no different.

We went for a walk down by the river to try to get some pictures of not only the kids but the house in the background as well. It is a beautiful, sunny day so we thought it would be a great idea! {it was a good idea in theory} unfortunately the sun was not in the best location so it was a bit of a challenge. The photos that I thought would turn out the best ended up being not so good - the there were SHADOWS. We will use the pictures but they are not Christmas card worthy.

Here is a sneak peek of the picture that we will be using ~ sadly, Millie is not in it.

Behind The Times

In the past I have said that Andrew is 6 months behind Nicholas when it comes to fashion trends and ONCE AGAIN it has happened....after months of ' I won't let my hair grow long" his tune has changed to " I don't know WHEN I will get a haircut". It is just too funny!! So we now have 2 boys that are growing their hair ~ how long I have NO idea.

I spent last weekend at a scrapbooking event in Holland and made some really neat projects. My favorite one is this advent countdown doll...it is something that I would never had made on my own but I am really pleased with it. The skirt is actually made with paper and the ribbon is glued onto that.

School Pictures

We finally got the kids school pictures back and I am pleased with how they came out. They do not offer picture re-takes so it is a one time chance to get a good one. The funny thing about the boys pictures is that they look identical to last years pictures {other than they look older}.

And the doctor says.....

Well I bit the bullet and went to the doctor this morning about how terrible I feel. After the standard poking, prodding and questioning he said I have......a sinus infection{you were right Diana} and a double ear infection so I have a prescription for some mega dose of antibiotics {1 time per day for 7 days}. I don't feel as bad as I have but I still feel yucky!

This is how I feel today.....need I say more?? No matter what I take it is not working...even my favorite Dayquil. I hope today is the worst of things ~ it surely can't get any worse.
