Miscellaneous

Almost unbusy

Over a month ago, I posted this list of things I knew I needed to blog about. Let’s see how I’ve done…and then I’ll add to the list.

  • Mallory had a ruptured eardrum and RAGING ear infection a few weeks ago. (I’ll probably blog about this some day because it wasn’t one of my favorite parenting moments).
  • We went to the football game at MSU and we lost. (I probably won’t blog about that).
  • Mallory’s two bottom teeth continue to get wigglier and wigglier. She still believes that she isn’t allowed to lose these until 1st grade. (The pediatrician even noticed that Mallory had loose teeth because they are getting so crooked in the front…)
  • I’ve had an INSANE amount of photography sessions the past month. (I won’t blog about that here, but should blog about it on my photography blog).
  • Carson is obsessed with running and jumping to touch a football banner. He starts at one end of our living room and then runs and pretends the soffit above the opening in the wall is the banner. This is cute on it’s own – but then you add in that when we enter & exit our section at the football stadium that he has to jump and try to touch the ceiling there. I need to get video. Oh, and if I’m holding him as we exit our section he makes me lift him up so he can actually touch the ceiling. He isn’t light.
  • Carson’s favorite toy is still his football guys set. (I have cute pictures to blog about this so you can see how he lines the guys up so OCD-like).
  • Carson calls Cooper “Poops” and “Poopers”. (I need to get video of this).
  • Carson telling Mallory to go to her room when she has a tantrum (this is really funny).
  • Mallory’s birthday party at Goldfish Swim School – she had a fun swimming with all of her friends. (I have 100+ pictures to post about that…)
  • We lost another football game (also won’t blog about that).
  • Mallory’s actual birthday – where she got TWINKLE TOES. (I have pictures of those too).
  • We play Illinois this week and Mallory’s insane memory remembers that we played Illinois last year on the day she turned 4.
  • We play Nebraska next week (the team that JUST joined the Big 10 this year) and Mallory told us this morning that next week we play the team with the red N.
  • And THANKSGIVING is in two weeks!

Yeah…not so great. Let’s add to it with this stuff:

  • We beat Nebraska
  • We beat Ohio State
  • We got to see Rick’s mom and sister and Uncle Bill and Uncle Eddie for the OSU game. Pretty funny how this year the usual contingent of Buckeyes from Cincinnati didn’t make the trip north…could it be they were afraid of the mighty Wolverines this year?
  • Michigan is going to a great bowl game in New Orleans!
  • So many funny things the kids have said and done…I am so mad at myself for not writing them down when they happened. ARGH!
  • Mallory lost a tooth
  • Mallory had her 5 year doctors appointment
  • We put up our Christmas tree!
