January 24th

Brennan has a pretty consistent agenda on Sunday's. Sleep in...pick up a cheeseburger...and head to Robin's nest for a tournament. This Sunday was no different.

Good Luck Brennan!

Let's call this picture 'Brennan's choice'. We all coordinated our busy schedules to have a family dinner at Angelo's so I thought it would be nice to have the waitress take a picture of us as a family. Brennan thought it would be nice to take a picture of his mutant cheese stick :)

January 22nd

Friday! So much to do! Stephanie had a game, Kristina was at Grammas and Kevin and I had a date night. We headed first to HHS to watch Steph at her game, then to Chili's to eat, and then to see the snow sculptures. With temps in the 40's we were glad we went, because when we went back on Saturday, most of them were unrecognizable!

January 21st

Thursday's are looooong days for me. Between work and my college classes at night, I usually get home about 9:30. By the time I get a few things done around the house, I hed upstairs to find Kevin...TV on, remote in hand, sound asleep!

January 20th

Between school, the boyfriend, dance, friends, and homework, it seems we hardly ever see Stephanie anymore. It's always nice to see her smiling face when she comes home from work.

January 19th

Here lies my faithful blog companion. It is usually only a few minutes after getting on the computer until I hear his familar meow...as he hops up on the chair next to me.

January 18th

We may be known as the lastminute champions in our house...but even at the last minute, we can still come up with a darn cute Language Arts project. Kristina made this puppet to represent the book kira-kira and got a 99%. Wow!

January 17th

Today we helped out Shana (who has Mono :( ) by keeping the girls...look at this big girl holding her bottle!

January 16th

Today, Stephanie took another step toward adult hood. She opened her first checking account.

January 15th

Phone versus Matchbox car...Matchbox car wins. Kristina is now on her 4th phone in a year. Sometimes we're slow learners, we finally purchased insurance.

January 14th

And so it begins...Semester 2 of 5. This is where I spend my Thursday nights.

January 13th

Ewwwww! Our crazy dog Blue runs up and down the fenceline with the neighbor's puppy Lucy. He evidently doesn't realize how old he's getting. He gets warn out and starts to drool. Then the crazy dog comes in with all this drool on his face! Yuck!

January 12th

Some days I feel like all I do is drive. Today I drove to Freeport, to home, to HHS to drop off Stephanie's dance bag, to work, to UIC, to HMS to pick up Nina, to Jeanne's, to Hobby Lobby, to Walmart, and FINALLY home!
