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

November 1, 2012

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.

In the back & moon

October 31, 2012

The kids say so many funny things but one of my favorite things is how Carson has modified “I love you to the moon and back” to “I WUV YOU IN DA BACK AND MOON!”. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Anytime I tell him “I love you the most” he tells me he loves me in the back and moon. Last night he added “and in the top and the bottom and on the sides of the moon”.
And then he also added his arms to show me how much that was.

SO STINKING CUTE.
I promise I'll …

Out of retirement

October 28, 2012

I came out of retirement this fall to play hockey again. A friend asked me to play and I said I could play the home games only and they said yes so I signed up. Our team name is the “Mag-a-ritas” and Mallory asked me if I play on this team because I like margaritas. Um, sort of…maybe?
Both kids, Rick, and my mom and dad came to my game tonight. It was pretty fun having them all there and hearing the kids yell “GO MOM!!!” and “GO MAG-A-RITAS!!!”. I learned, however, that it is a good thing that …

Haircuts with the Big Boys

October 28, 2012

I love taking Carson to get his haircut. His hair is still pretty fine and thin and I would still love to see if it would have curls but I can’t let it get that long because it gets fuzzy as it grows out.
So back to haircuts.
I’ve started taking him to the barber downtown Ann Arbor. I don’t let Rick take him when Rick gets his hair cut, because Rick goes to Fantastic Sam’s and Great Clips.
The barber has a fridge in the corner that has beer in it and it’s my goal in life to be …

I’m testing a new way to password protect my blog. Can someone let me know if this shows up on your google reader?

Game Day

October 26, 2012

Told Mallory we had nothing to do tomorrow – we could play and read books and do nothing all day. We only have to get Carson’s haircut and run an errand to Target but we were free the rest of the day.
How awesome is it that she said “but what about watching the game?!?!?!”
It’s an 8p start in Nebraska tomorrow night for those of you who don’t tell time by the Michigan football schedule.

I’m gonna miss this.

October 22, 2012

I am already sad about the day they won't want to sleep in our bed.
I love their sleeping-ness all snuggled in our bed.

Mallory sweating all over my pillow and Carson in his unders (because he shed his pajamas once he got under the covers).

October 21, 2012

Here are my sweet kids’ 2012-13 school pictures! It is really nice to know that they will smile on demand for other people’s cameras…

Mallory is in 1st grade (!!!) and Carson is in preschool.
