Yep, more proof that Carson may have watched the Michigan-Indiana game a few times.

2014
So…I think I’ve blogged like 5 times in 2013. That’s it. Five times. It might really be a little more than that but it still isn’t very much.
So…here’s where we are now.
MALLORY Mallory is seven. She turned seven in November. She was a little upset she didn’t have the day off of school for her birthday like she did when she turned six. She also didn’t want a birthday party for her 7th birthday, she wants to wait until her 7-1/2 birthday to have a party. But I did end …
My football kid
Carson has watched the Michigan-Indiana football game from mid-October about three times a week (at least). We have the Big Ten Network two-hour condensed version and I think he loves all the scoring excitement. He wants to watch this game more than he wants to watch the Notre Dame game from early September. It is funny and disturbing at the same time.
It’s getting more disturbing because now when he watches the game, he tells us what the next play is going to be. “Mom, mom! This is the hard hit by Taylor!” and right then Ramon Taylor lays out the …
Cool
Carson after Thanksgiving dinner today. When he got dressed this morning I told him he looked sooooo handsome.
He told me “Noooo!!!!! I’m not handsome! I’m cool!!!”
“I” week
Over dinner tonight I asked Carson how “I” week sharing went. He chose “interception” for his sharing. Which meant he took a football and a piece of paper with the word interception on it.
He told me he gave these clues:
*you throw it to the other team
* it’s not good for the quarterback
Surprisingly none of the kids in his class guessed his sharing item.
Oh, and Michigan fans – never fear. Carson said we will win tomorrow because we are the home team.
Halloween 2013
My two pumpkins.
Mallory swapped out her ($25) Hello Kitty costume at the last second to be a cowgirl. She “pinky-promises” to be Hello Kitty next year if the costume still fits.
Here she is at her school parade during the day on Halloween:
Silly Boy
Odd little post but it’s stuff like this that I don’t want to forget!
Carson is a funny clever little boy and it cracks me up. He is always trying to “twick us”. This morning laying in bed I was checking twitter for sports scores and to see if anyone famous got married overnight and Carson saw the St Louis Blues logo in my twitter feed.
He made me scroll back and asked it that was the Bluehawks and I told him is was the St. Louis Blues, mommy’s favorite hockey team. He said “oh yeah.”
Then I scrolled back up to …
Minnesota – October 2013
My children still love going to football games. We did have that one glitch where Mallory wanted to know why her friend got more staying home days than her, but that was because there had been like 5 home games in a row, and then we did two away games in a row, and Mallory was burned out. But that was so 2011.
These days, the kids are awesome. They are great at the tailgates because there is tons of junk food and Carson can play football down the hill. We can watch the team come by in their busses two …
Lime Island – 2013
In August 2013, my dad took his favorite daughter and most of the grandkids (Shane, Lauren, Mallory, Liam & Carson) up north to Lime Island to go “camping”. My sister offered to let us take Cameron too but we were all set.
Lime Island is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the St. Mary’s River and you can only reach it by boat. It took us like eight trips to get all of our crap across – no thanks to my engineer dad’s inability to do anything “rustic”.
We were camping in cabins without electricity and plumbing so my dad …
June 2013
Looks like my inability to actually post things regularly means I will be writing monthly updates. That’s depressing. But oh well. Warning – this is a really long post
June brought a tornado siren, a tornado, the end of the school year, a dance recital, a room change and three weeks of camps (the tornado siren and tornado were technically the end of May, but close enough to June to count).
Tornado Siren
Rick left for the College World Series with softball on Tuesday, May 28th. We were supposed to get bad weather that night but just as Mallory’s gymnastics class was wrapping …
