Thanksgivin-g

November 29, 2012

Mallory brought this home yesterday. I love her.
Notice her use of hyphens at the end of the word thanksgiving (twice).
Ignore that she spelled her own name wrong at the end, and the multiple other errors. She is grounded this weekend for those. I’m totally kidding.

Catching up ~ August 2012

November 25, 2012

OK, I am literally going to write a post to [try to] catch up on the last 3 months. Three months of football season + three months of a bajillion photo shoots = three months of craziness.

Sweetness

November 3, 2012

After a challenging two days, Mallory showed me some of her sweet side tonight. Rick and I had a party to go to and the kids stayed home with a sitter. I just got home and moved Mallory to Rick's side of the bed and she stirred and asked me sleepily with a smile: “are you home from your party?” I told her yes and she closed her eyes and went right back to sleep.
Love. It totally makes up for wanting to lock her in her room today :-)

How Denard travels

Rick was at the airport tonight heading to Minnesota; Mallory asked him if Denard was on the truck or if he was flying.
I don't know why it was so funny to me, but it was.

If Rick blogged here

November 1, 2012

If Rick blogged here, he might tell you this story (sent to me in an email):

Carson said Cwaig Woh was playing on his field. I asked him what number and he said 88. See there is an 8 and an 8.
