January

This sums up P's holiday!! I can't find any pictures of crazy ladies pulling

all their hair out. Otherwise that is what would sum up my holiday!

It was a great holiday inspite of loosing one of our dearest pets... yes we did loose our snake... AGAIN!! And yet... another recovery! We have renamed it...

the great houdini!! I think it is very fitting.

ps... I can't resist showing you a picture of my little nephew. Isn't he super cute.

It was a blast to take pictures of the little guy.

Spell Bowl

Peep has worked hard 2 mornings a week for over a month at her spell bowl words. A couple of nights ago p was testing her on them and one word was cerebellum.

P wanted her to come and show it to me. I told him it was too last for theatrics.

He said " This is worth it!"

She had spelled it... sarahbellum!

Okay, for those that love pictures and no writing... like me! sorry! I have gone on and on and it is time to be done...
I tag... who ever actually made it to the bottom of this list!

Tagged!

Tagged!!! what is that? Just kidding, I was actually thrilled to get tagged twice. I still am one of those "new" bloggers that look forward to those kinds of things.
so...
Quirks???...
I know I have some... it's just sharing the best ones.

1. I LOVE matlock! so, when they changed the time from 1 pm to 8 am I was so upset. I emailed them and all. I then started recording it every morning. (from 8 to 9am is a very hectic time of the day for me!) Anyway, it is awesome. I now can watch it whenever I want. I am MAD if I forget to record it. I have started setting my phone alarm to ring at 8 so I won't miss it!

2. I think I am with kk on this... I have to have my bed made ... even if it is 3 in the afternoon and I haven't had time to do it until then.

3. I am not much of a tv watcher (except matlock, of course!), but I LOVE music. Many days you can catch me jammin' to something or other cleaning the kitchen and dancing around! (is that considered a quirk?)

4. I just went into p and said: "honey, what are some of my quirks?" He said: "honey, I know where this is headed, what are some of my quirks... lets here it, what are some things you'd like me to work on?"
SO, I guess that is one of my quirks. :)

5. I have a highly sensitive nose!!! now this is truly a quirk!

I think this is hitting my quirk thinking abililties.
I hope you all didn't get too bored by this little activity.
I tag... carolyn, linda and holly!
