This damn thing didn't work all last night & through half of today. Coldest night of the year. Snuggled all night long with the babies & Nathan.

Last day of Spelling Club. We watched 'Akeelah & the Bee' & ate popcorn.

I love taking the kids out in the snow, but it's hard because Gianni never wants to come back in and Gabriele isn't so much a fan of the snow yet...so, I decided the boys could help me bake since we were kinda snowed in. We made healthy 6 week muffins (you make the batter, put it in the fridge and then take it out as needed so you always have warm out of the oven muffins!) and fudge.

Eric and Cole went to an overnight sleepover at the Field Museum in Chicago. The snowstorm put quite a new twist on their travels there. And, the next photo shows all of the free "swag" that Dylan and Vaughn got on Day 1 of their trip to the Sundance Film Festival.

I cross this bridge 2x a day & everytime I see this I wonder how many years it has been here.

Leaving the library, where I'd gone to put in an application for a part-time job.

Gianni helped me carry in some groceries tonight - I guess I should not have let him carry the flour....

I had a rebate form for this product (that would have made it free) and I had the hardest time finding it in the right size (20 lbs). I found it at Target in the wrong size but it had a different rebate form on the box so I decided to get it. It will end costing less that $3.00. Thought I would share...maybe you want to go get some too. FYI-It is for Dylan's cat (I buy it for them when I see it on a good sale)

My train HOME!

Miranda January 18, 2012

On Sunday, I decided that I would plan out our meals for the week. Today was Chili in the crock pot. It really made my life SO much easier! You should try it!

Jim got an email yesterday saying he was among the top losers at our company. They wanted him to send in before and after pictures. It didn't say if he won any money, but we're hoping he's in first place!

This is the computer screen radio/temperature control/phone system in our new car. It is really fun to play with but what is not fun is that red triangle button below the screen. It is to turn on the hazard lights. Sometimes the way that I rest my hand as I am controlling the screen I inadvertently hit that button. So, if you see me driving around with my hazard lights on...everything is most likely ok. I also thought that Maureen would enjoy the song that was playing.

We love having these bags by the door so the kids can take what they want in them when we leave the house - such a great Christmas present! Thanks!

My big brother Bryce is tooooo funny!

Marla January 17, 2012

We watched Gabe and Gianni tonight while Joe and Miranda worked. They were so much fun to play with.

Jim's wedding ring has been falling off of him for a few weeks now due to all of the weight he's lost. Tonight, my ring fell off while I was putting some dishes away in the kitchen.

Any advice on how we can keep them from falling off? I'd hate to lose them.
