Paige's Tooth




Paige finally lost one of her top front teeth. It had been loose for months. She almost had it out Thursday night. She was twisting and pulling and it was bleeding so I told her I would help her get it out. She stopped messing with it and told me, "No Mama, I want to lose it at school tomorrow." So she left it alone and sure enough, the tooth came home from school in an envelope Friday. I'm sure her teacher really appreciates her saving that for school! She has a little lisp now, it's actually really cute!

First Snowmen of the Year!


We got the snow that was predicted for today. It was a perfect snow for making snowmen. It's too bad we still had so many leaves on the ground though, the snowmen look like they need a bath!

Madonna!

Last night Jon and I went to see Madonna perform at Ford Field. I think it may be my favorite concert ever! It was absolutely amazing!!! I haven't really kept up with her newer music but it really didn't matter. Even when I didn't know the song it was still fun. She played more of her old music than I thought she would, so that was great. I really liked how she updated "Borderline". At one point she asked for a request for an old song. The first suggestion she got she just said "No, I'm not singing that song." I wish I knew what it was! She ended up doing "Material Girl" with no music and her singing one line then the crowd singing the next. It was actually really cool. The set was amazing. The graphics and dancing were incredible. Even Jon enjoyed it. We were on the floor and I'm so glad. The people sitting in the regular seats seemed to spend most of the concert sitting. It would have been awful not to be able to dance and sing!

We didn't get home until 2 a.m. and today has been pretty rough. I think I'm getting to old to be doing this. I'm not sure how Jon managed to get up at 5:30 for work, getting up at 7 to get the kids ready for school was hard enough! Thank goodness for Kadey coming over to stay with the kids and getting them to bed on time. She even skipped her night class to help us out. The kids had a lot of fun and it was a nice treat for them to have Leah come play.

Getting Started

I've been thinking about starting a blog for quite awhile now. Eventually I'm hoping it will be a way for people to keep up with things going on in our life. I'm guessing it will also be a place for me to vent once in a while, which will hopefully help me keep my sanity.
