4th of July 2010

This morning we've been watching "The Story of Us" on the History Channel. We were watching a segmentabout the Revolutionary War. Lauren pointed and said "Mommy, were you there." When I said No, she wanted to know if Grandma or Grandpa was there. She has no concept of age.

Happy New Year!

We had an absolutely wonderful 2009 so I'm a little sad to see it go. However, I hope 2010 is an even better year. I can name two wonderful things that I know will be happening this year. We will complete our family this year and Bob and I will see the end of our first decade of marriage together. I never could have imagined how quickly 10 years would go by.

We attempted to stay up until midnight but it never happened. Shannon and I were the first to fall asleep at 9:00. Hey, I'm tired and crabby and very pregnant. What can I say! I woke up at 11:15 and Bob and the girls were passed out on the floor.

The night was not a complete loss. We had a lot of great food. We had sweet and sour meatballs with rice pilaf. Ellie wanted malts and we had some cake with them. The girls and I had apples on sticks and dipped them in carmel or as the girls like to call it "carnival". Fruit on sticks are always better than fruit not on sticks.

Happy 4th of July

They are learning a lot on Blue's Clues

Lauren has decided that when she grows up she is going to celebrate Hannakuh (you know because she has also decided she is Jewish). Her kids will light the menorah and spin the dreidel.

Then, when her kids grown up they will celebrate Kwanza. She has no idea what they do during Kwanza but she thinks it sounds like fun.

I know she learned all of this on Blue's Clues.
