GIRLS' NIGHT IN

I'm in the mood for a movie night. A good chic-flick. Some popcorn. A cozy blanket and a fire. Staying up way too late, just because I can. Anybody want to join me???

CAN YOU DO THAT?

I just watched #2 pogo all the way to the mailbox (from the carport) and back. She only fell once. I guess it's hard to hold the mail, pogo, and close the mailbox all at once. I'd wet my pants if I tried to do that...

Basketball Christmas Party

17 hamburgers
+ 24 hot dogs
+ a RAGING fire on the grill =
4 large pizza's + wings from Domino's

hehe...Merry Christmas, Nosmack! :-)

I think this is about to be me again...ugh...

#2

She talks with food in her mouth.

She currently has a shark fetish

And a fascination with pirates.

She can't wait to come home and jump on the trampoline after school every day.

She LOVES anything that barks.

She sings, "No, no, no, don't fall in the hole..." (you know, by the Black Eyed Peas).

She watches Dirty Jobs with her dad.

She grumbles the entire time she is emptying the trash cans on Wednesday nights.

I think she has a secret crush on N**k (shhh...I'm not supposed to know that).

She snacks on carrots & ranch dip

And bananas.

She drinks my hot chocolate in the mornings.

She has a serious case of bed head

When she finally gets up after I've been in three times to wake her up.

She doesn't go to sleep until Cassie kisses her goodnight.

She has read Sharkman cover to cover at least three times

THIS WEEK.

When she watches "Drake and Josh"

You can hear her laugh (cackle) all through the house.

She knows exactly what she wants to get me for Christmas

If she can just get a ride to Walmart & 25 bucks.

She makes all A's in school.

She can sing the names of the Presidents in order.

She asked for a suitcase (???) for Christmas.

She'd rather NOT brush her teeth in the mornings.

Somedays she drives me CRAZY.

Then some nights she leaves notes like this on my pillow.

(In case you can't read it, it says,

"MY MOM ROCKS".)

She's so cool...

It's Been a While...

...so just in case you were wondering, here's what I've been up to since my last post:

• survived fall soccer
• got a cool new Ipod
• went trick-or-treating
• read through book #4, and started on #5
• directed a fourth grade play, twice
• watched Riley catch her first fish
• laughed at her sister trying to fish and text at the same time
• turned 35
• started buying Caramel Apple Spice drinks from Starbuck's again - yum!!

Here's what I'll be doing next time you see me:

• going to basketball games
• learning to put my own music on that cool new Ipod
• watching Grey's, season #3
• taking Christmas orders for stationery (Casey, you know you need some...)
• counting the days until Thanksgiving break
• attending at least three shows of Cinderella

And here's what I probably still won't have done next time you see me:

• finished book #5
• changed my door at school (it's the same one I've had up since August - my neighbor across the hall just put up her 5th one...AL, can you guess who?)
• eaten all of the Halloween candy
• added another post

What's Wrong With This Picture???

Those who know me well know that I'm not terribly choosy about the television shows that I will watch. Last year, I got into a series called Friday Night Lights, about a football team in Texas. Although I am not a fan of football itself, the show had all the right elements for me - some action, drama, occasional comedy, and several love interests. I had been anxiously awaiting the series premiere which came on last night. This coincided with a surprise birthday party for a friend - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUSTY!! No problem - the DVR was already set to record. I'm sitting on the couch reading today when Clint reminds me that we have that first episode to watch. Excitedly, I tell him that I'm almost at the end of my chapter. A few pages later, I put my book down and am pumped about finally watching Friday Night Lights (a show about football, I say again). He says..."Hold on, America's Next Top Model is almost over. I gotta see the end."
