Happy 3/4th Mallory

Our little girl turned 3/4 this week. She didn't have an actual birthday this year, so we had a weekend celebration. Saturday, she enjoyed an afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese with some of her cousins, Sunday, she ate a lot of macaroni and cheese at Ponderosa with family, and Monday night she indulged in Dora Cupcakes with Luke. February 29, 2008

Bathroom Remodel

We have lived with the white rose patterned paneling for 9 years now. Don't get me wrong...it was a rockin' bathroom in the late 80's and it has served its purpose. We were all able to shower, brush teeth, get ready, etc. etc. etc. everyday with minimal problems. But now, it's time to go!!!!!!!!!!!! We are very excited to be doing a small, yet messy bathroom upgrade. Before

Hopefully the end is in sight. Maybe next week sometime...I hope. I can't stand the layer of dust that is over everything in our house.

Kalahari

We were lucky enough to take a mid winter break this weekend and visit Kalahari. It was a GREAT time. I was able to attend a teaching conference there from Wednesday to Friday (and yes....I did learn a lot of great teaching stuff, I just didn't play on the water slides!) Craig and the kids met me there Friday night and we played Friday and Saturday. It was a lot of fun and I think we might make it a yearly tradition. We thought Luke and Mallory might be timid, but they did great. They didn't ride the huge slides, obviously, but they ate up the kiddie slides.

It's so great...Mallory doesn't even know she's not playing. That's how we conserve money in these tough economical times.

Super Sunday

It's Super Bowl Sunday and what is a family to do when their team is not playing??????Lounge with some Barbies while snacking on Cheerios and drinking the hard stuff...milk.

Wear your Browns hat while sipping from a new football cup.

Smile because you're watching the game on a new television.

Scrapbook because there is no sense in watching the Steelers (Unless they are getting beat...which right now they are, so let's hope that holds out!)

Go Cavs

Friday night Luke and Craig were lucky enough to accompany our friends Chad and Jackson to the Cavs game. Mallory and I hung out with the ladies, Jen and Zoe. The girls had fun playing and chatting it up!

Luke said he liked every part of the game except the fire.

We don't have to tell you how the game ended, but we will tell you the little boys and the big boys had fun!

Everyone got jerseys! The players might not play for the Cavs anymore...but hey, they were only $5.00!

We stayed the night too, so Luke and Jackson got to camp out in a tent together!

Snow Day

Today we were lucky enough to both have snow days. We headed outside to shovel and play. Luke and Mallory didn't want to come in (even after throwing snow in each other's faces and lots of tears).

Say AHHHHHHH and O-H...I-O

Mallory went for her first dental check-up last Thursday. It happened to be the day of the Buckeye's bowl game, so she and Luke were all dressed up. Our dentist is an OSU grad, so it worked out perfectly. She did a good job and got a good report!

Dressed for the game!
