I hate hate hate snow and the cold that goes with it. Just wanted everyone to know that. We are having to wear coats, layers of clothes and gloves to type in, plus wrap our legs up in blanket to stay warm in our freezing office. We can't have heater up here b/c there are three of us in one office made for one and when we tried the heaters last year we blew all the electric up here...so needless to say we are freezing and OSU has not figured out the problem yet imagine that.
The drive in this morning was not bad was worse last night going home from work at 4:00. Andrew was extremely pumped last night when I picked him and Maddie up from daycare b/c there was snow on the ground. He wanted to step outside for a minute every 10 minutes last night to walk around in it. And then this morning at 6:30 when we were leaving he wanted to play in it as well and it was 2 degrees outside by our car temp thing..Speaking of Andrew we are so proud of him we have not, here I go am going to jinx myself, gotten a call from his school at all this week we are so proud of him. He is very excited b/c tonight is his night to get back on the computer he has been grounded from it since last Monday. Maddie seems to be doing great with her tubes. She has no problem letting me put her ear plugs in at bath time. She has not really slowed down at all from any of that. She reminds me of my big brother Phil, who was known as Smiley, b/c she is always smiling and when she smiles it spreads to everyone in the room. She is my happy baby. This morning she started that ever dreaded separation anxiety stage when I handed her over to the daycare director...Makes for long rough start to Mommy's day when that happens.
We have a busy three weeks coming up with family Christmas's and friend christmas's and parties and such...so will be going and going and yes for those that want to know will be taking lots and lots of pictures will probably be awhile before I get them on here but I will do as soon as Mommy can take a break and download them to the computer..
We have a little git together tonight that we are attending if the weather will allow us we get to see our friends that we play softball with...The boys are to get their ears lowered today if our girl makes it in, b/c we are finally getting a family picture and christmas pics of the kids on Saturday. And both our families know how much Paul loves his picture taken. We all have a hand full of those pictures with his hat over his face or his hand in the way or the most seen one him ducking out of the picture before it is taken...
I hear that my dad has doctor appt today and he told me the other day that he is just ready to cut his knee off since it has been giving him fits. I also heard that baby brother has a huge blister on his knuckle and caught his shirt tail on fire at work yesterday. Words from big sister remember that line, you would look much better with your shirt tail tucked in, from mom and dad all those years? Well you might not catch your arse on fire if you would do that huh lil brother? :) And after reading my other little brother's site see that my sister in law got a new job with less stress that is way cool be good for her and for you JonBoy :)
I do want to say that I am so excited that I am actually, weather permitting and sickness permitting, going to go out on a real dinner and movie date with my husband next Thursday. We have had dinner and movie tickets since last Christmas and they expire the end of this month so we figured that we needed to try to use them ASAP. And we are just crossing our fingers that everything stays running smoothly so that we can do that. And Granma Ann as said that she would keep the kids for us and might if she feels like it let them stay the night...Not sure we know what to do with ourselves if we don't have the kiddos running, playing and screaming around us...but hey I am sure we can figure it out rather quickly....
That is about it for now as far as I know and if ya read there is always something going on around our place and in our lives so will be back writing again in no time...

Drama or Just our life.... :)
Well we made it through another weekend w/out too much major goings on....we think...
Madison is doing great...she had a rough day yesterday seems that every time she would stand up on something she would fall and split her top lip next to her gums open. She did it three times actually once in Andrew's room, then in her room at the bookshelf and then the last time in our bathroom..Each time she would come out with blood coming out her mouth and big brother freaking out on me. And I did not pull an Ann when I saw this blood but the next major blood could cause to pull one of those, love ya mom....
Andrew is doing okay so far hope I do not jinx myself, no calls today. We actually got one on Friday so he was back in the principles office for hitting a teacher when he got mad at little boy in his class that picks on him. So we had the long talk about hitting and about what to do when someone is picking on you or calling you names. And then the dreaded talk about what will happen next time he gets that. Yes, dad he got disciplined and well too. Andrew has karate class tonight and momma told him today that if I got a call that I would call his daycare and he would not be participating in the class. Other then that he is rolling and going and everything he sees on tv he wants from Santa and he is going to get it...geez to be that age...wait a minute guess at my age I am still like that...
We had Austyn's bday party on Saturday and the boys had a great time, they usually do when they get together once we get past the trying to out tattle each other. We missed Little brother and his family. We are hoping that Kaitlyn is doing much better and we will get to see you all very soon...I have some stuff that your wife will enjoy or you might who knows little brother.. :)
We are not the proud owners of two new nannies and a new big, stout billy goat, complete with long curled horns and a big long hair coming out of his chin if you ask Andrew. Andrew has decided that he is going to call him something like 556586, I asked him why not something like Fred or Billy or something more normal sounding and he said nope that is his name. And to put it in his own words when asked by his daddy what he thought about the new billy, "he's cool!" He even got himself all dressed up and ready to go outside yesterday so that we could walk down just the two of us and look at him. That is when I had to kinda in a round about way explain to him why the billy was "picking" on the nannies...if you know me I came up with a nice way of explains that he was making babies and some of the girls did not want to make babies is why they were running around and he was chasing them. Anyone else with a better explanation then that to a 4 year old PLEASE let me know.
One of my good good friends at is leaving her last day is Thursday so rough week for me, gonna miss her terribly. We have an appt to have our first ever family pictures taken this week, yep first ever, grandparents. Paul is staying busy today I think if I remember right he had already taken one to jail at around 9:00 am this morning...We have stayed steady at work today been kinda nice...My baby brother the musician started a new job today in Carney welding huge grates for Goober he was excited and very nervous but have been thinking about him all day today and I know he did great and will do great...We all are very proud of him for his new job and his welding school...love ya baby brother.
Gonna be a busy month but a great month, because we get to spend time with family and our friends and that makes it so great....
