Boys play "dress up", too. Former Halloween costumes. Liam as a ninja (Halloween 2007, and he says he wants to wear this costume THIS year, too...we'll see about that). And Owen as Bumblebee, the transformer (Halloween 2008).

Day 32 - Sunday, February 1, 2009 -
Super Bowl Sunday! We went to the Parsons' for a Super Bowl party. Liam and Max were rooting for the Steelers. I was rooting for Fitzgerald, a Cardinals receiver. It ended up being a nail biter of a game with the Steelers edging out the Cardinals in the last minutes of the game, thanks to a phenomenal catch by Holmes. Phenomenal. Steelers 27- Cardinals 23.

Today was a lay around the house in pajamas day.

Jordyn made pancakes for dinner.

Liam papercrafted with me and made this Super Bowl pennant.

And Owen got up after I had put him down to bed to explain to me that when the clock hands are like "this", it's not their bed time yet.

Day 30 - Friday, January 30, 2009 -
Tonight I went to Amy's to celebrate her birthday. It turned into a sleepover since Joel was working the night shift, Kevin was out of town for the weekend, and I had taken the kids to my sister's for the night. Several ScRap SiStaZ were there, Tina (our SiStaZ founder), Karen, Kim, Kendrea, Patty, & Mindy. It was an awesome night of idea sharing, looking at people's scrap books, and wishing Amy a very happy birthday (white elephant gifts, and all!) It's been a long time since I've stayed up until 4:30 am, before, that's for sure!

A few years ago, the girls from high school and I reconnected. It has been so much fun getting together with this group every couple of weeks. Tonight we went to the Union in Clarkston (which is becoming a regular, central location for us) to celebrate Heidi's birthday. Erika joined us for the first time since giving birth to her little butterball Tye back in August. He is a doll and she is a wonderful mom. Another night full of chatting, laughing, and wine consumption. Good times.

This has got to be a record snowfall for us this winter. We keep getting more and more and more snow. Owen suited up and went outside to make snow angels. This is some DEEP snow.

For the last several years, I have participated in a theater group. We get season tickets to the Fisher Theatre in Detroit and we pick a different restaurant for dinner before each show. Tonight the show was "A Chorus Line" (ONE! Singular Sensation) and we went to eat at Vicente's (Cuban food). Here we are enjoying our Mojitos.

Scott, Sammy, Pat, Cindy, Nancy's Sub, Margaret, Geno, and Me.
