Rick got some air time today during the Michigan game; I had to replay it for Carson to see what he’d do when he saw Rick on TV.
I’m so glad I recorded it. LOL.

Watch it! Watch it!
We are getting ready to watch the Michigan-Indiana game and ESPNU was running a little promo. Denard had a quick spot (like two seconds) and Mallory yelled that she just saw Denard. I asked where and she said “you have to get the gamote (remote) to see it”. I backed it up a bit and she started to say “watch it! watch it!” and when Denard ran across the screen, she looked at me with a big grin.
Dance it up!
The kids and I got new music this week, courtesy of Miss Header.
Enjoy.
(And yes I realize that the song from the second video needs to come out of the rotation for the kids…Mallory learns songs too quickly for me to allow her to get this one in her head, even though the bad word is sort of rubbed out.)
Bowling Green is a bad team
Another nasty rainy cold windy day of tailgating…must be Michigan in September.
It only looks like I’m drinking a bloody mary in this picture, but I promise I’m just holding my mom’s drink while she took our picture.
The funniest thing about this day – Mallory was about to head back into the van – it was freezing, by the way – when she spotted her cousin Lauren about five tailgates away with Gigi. Mallory was in the middle of telling me “I’m going in the van, I’m cold…WAIT – WHAT IS LAUREN EATING???” and Mallory took off …
Sidewalk 1, Carson 0
Oh the wonderful goose eggs my sweet boy gets.
Tonight after Mallory’s dance class, we stopped at Dairy Queen (since I figured it was maybe the last time we would be able to stand outside and eat ice cream until spring) and Carson was running around with his sister and Alli and he took a HUGE header. In my normal fashion, I waited to see if he cried before I reacted.
His reaction to meeting the sidewalk resulted in a sprinting reaction from me. He was S-C-R-E-A-M-I-N-G.
Somehow I wonder if I knew this was going to happen because I happened to tuck …
New goal
So, my new goal is to try to post a quick update during my lunch break every day. We’ll see how I do.
I owe you a big Mallory update but that will take me longer than my 30-minute break.
I’ve been battling a heck of a cold, going on three weeks now. Started with some laryngitis and a mild cough right after Labor Day (probably thanks to the cold weather & wind from the first tailgate) – and then I went to the game in South Bend and didn’t rest like I should, so I started to get a …
Pumpkin Cuteness
The weather was spectacular this week so I dragged the kids off to the pumpkin place by our house. I’m realizing that it’s harder to take pictures of my own kids that it is other people’s kids, at least when I have a specific thing I’m trying to accomplish…like a cute picture of my kids TOGETHER sitting with the pumpkins. Carson is at the age where he wants to do EVERYTHING his sister does, so if I want Mallory to sit on the side of the pumpkins, and want to have Carson stand next to her – Carson gives me …
Almost 18 months
I know I’ve been cheating at blogging for the past, say year or so – posting more pictures that I do words. And it bums me out because while the pictures are all cute and great and everything, they don’t really tell the whole story.
So here I am to give you a grand update on my adorable offspring, starting with Carson, aka Carsie, The Carsonator, Buddy, Tank.
TEETH: He’s working on the last of his canines (the other three have been in for a month or so…we’re still waiting on that bottom left one!). Next up will be 2-yr molars.
SLEEPING: Carson …
M @ ND, 2010
This post is being written about 11 weeks after the fact, but because it was Carson’s first road game, I figured it was better late than never (written 11 weeks late, but I set the post date to be closer in line with when we the events occurred…)
OK, now that we have the formalities out of the way.
Everyone said I was nuts to take the kids to an away game, but for me it is easier to take them on an adventure like that than be stuck at home finding ways to entertain them all day.
I enlisted the help of …
My Bargain Shopper
It’s been a while since I’ve gotten a funny phone call from Mallory’s BFF’s mom, with a funny story about the girls. But it was worth the wait, because it was a doozy. :-)
Apparently yesterday at school, the girls were playing “Payer” (based on the context, Christine interpreted this as the girls playing “store”) and Mallory was buying bugs from Allison.
But then Mallory came back and told Allison that she had to return the bugs “because they weren’t on sale”.

What’s really funny about that story is the conversation that Mallory & I had that later very night (before …
