Stripey!!

Gabriella is in to picking out her own clothes these days and prefers anything with stripes. Doesn't she look stripey????
Other adults know that I don't dress her, right??

Nicholas 6, Mom 1/2

Last week, in the midst of my 5 day fever of 102 or better and Jeff out of town on a fishing trip, I managed to muster enough energy to take Nicholas to his first basketball game of the season. He played a fabulous game but, unfortuantely for him, his Mother isn't quite sure how to operate her new camera yet. We both took lots of shots...Nicholas towards the basket, Mom at Nicholas. He walked away with 6 points, I walked away with a semi-salvagable picture of my big boy dribbling the ball down the court! :-)

Dozen

Definition of a dozen...
NOUN.. A set of 12! Plural: Dozens... An indefinite, large number! Dozens of errands to run
Things that come in a dozen:
Eggs
Donuts
Roses
12 months in a year

Why the dozen reference? Jeffrey and I got married twelve years ago today. Today I'll have to make an effort to have someone take a picture of us. Seems that I have lots of pictures of Jeff and the kids but none of us together. Put that on my TO DO LIST for today!!! :-)

Think it's a coincidence that alcohol is sold in a twelve pack??
Or that 12 dozen is called....well, I won't say it!!! Just kidding!!! :-)
Off to take that picture!!!!

Happy Anniversary Jeffrey!!!

Gabby

My little girl had a birthday on the 27th and is officially three years old. She only wanted balloons and chocolate cake so I made her a birthday crown, drove her to the grocery store (crown on her head), picked out 2 pink and one red balloon, came home and made her a chocolate cake.
We spent the day with extended family at a baby shower but had chocolate cake in the evening!

Happy Birthday Gabby Girl!!!

A fitting issue :-)
