How old do you think I am?

Sean: This penny is from 1931. You were born around then right mom?

The schedule

No time to blog, but I shall try harder...maybe this is why.

Monday: school, boy scouts

Tuesday: school, wrestling practice

Wednesday: school, dance practice

Thursday: school, wrestling practice

Friday: school, errands

Saturday: wrestling meets, barn construction

Throw in doctors appointments, science class and art class at the museum, and normal life.....it makes me tired!

Christmas 2011

Very late, but very merry!

Where we've been

Does busy suffice? Very, very busy. Here is a quick update

1. Halloween meant lots of candy and a cold night of trick-or-treating.

2. Thanksgiving meant a trip home to Cleveland. It was so good to spend time with all the

relatives. We had an adventure every day. One involved the pirate ship swimming pool at the rec center. 5 kids. 1 mom. All survived. Success!

3. Right before Christmas Bridget and Harry came down to visit with the boys. Lots of gunplay and hiking and trips to the park. We also ventured to the mountains to get our Christmas tree. It was a blessing Harry was here because the tree was enormous. We needed a front loader to drop the tree onto the roof of the car. Did I mention Harry is an engineeer. This came in handy when securing the tree to the car, and installing the hooks to my wall in the house so we could tie the tree up. Yes, it was soooo....big it wasn't safe to stand without support from the top. I'm glad it was secured so no babies,

or mommies were injured. I think next year we'll remember 16-17 feet is just too big. Sure was pretty though.
