What!!!!

Elise, what were you thinking! The reason for the blue hair? Duh, to match her blue stretch jeans. My only question is what happens when she wears the peach ones? Uh oh. Ding dong.

Daniels new tie

Today was Daniel's first time wearing a necktie.

And i have to say it is the hardest thing ever!

I googled "how to tie a tie" and i got this video...watched it...and got even more comfused. it was NO help.

So instead of us girls trying to do it, he asked the missionaries.

He figured it out.

The abominable Richard

So today my mom thought that it would be an excellent idea to make a snowman...You probably are thinking "Yeah, thats a good idea...Whats wrong with making a snowman?" Well what you and i didnt know that the top layer of snow wasnt just snow...It was ice. So imagine Daniel, my Mom, and I bundling up in our long underwear, hats, sweatshirts, and gloves, walking outside all giddy and excited and the snow turned out to be ice. I was on the butt making committe, my Mom was on the tummy committe (Wich I must say was the best tummy I've seen in a LONG time) Haha. And Daniel self-appointed himself on the head-making committe. It was so much fun:) Well I'm gonna go drink some hot coco:)

Richard the football fool!

The one picture is my lawnmower in the back yard, a little ghetto yes, and I probably should've put it away. But it is to illustrate the snow depth. The other three are Richard, in at least 6 inches of snow clearing off the car and his work van. The games he wants to watch we don't have at our house, so he has to get to his mom's house. For any of you out there who were in doubt that he's a football fanatic, I hope this proves it once and for all!

Greg, keeping our streets safe.

Todays blog will focus on Greg, a little mentioned, but big loved part of our family! He works for the city, and since this weather began has been required to work 16 hour shifts, 7 days a week. So for everybody who thinks they're not trying to clear the streets, they are! Long hours in the cold. From what I can tell he drives the red truck full of sand with the plow on the front, working on his assigned streets, then when the sand is gone, he goes down under the Warren Ave bridge and hops in the yellow one to fill up his truck. Way too hard work for me! I know most of us don't like driving in it to get where we need to go, never mind for 16 hour stretches. I thought it was pretty cool!

The New Saints Hat

This is Richards new Saints hat, I don't really know what to say about it, except it seemed like we ought to take a pic and share it with everyone. Yes, it lights up in the dark. Jealous everyone? I know, I am too. BTW, they lost today.

Christmas decorating strike is over!

This is our tree for the season. I've decided I'm on Christmas decorating strike this year, mainly because when my house was robbed last March, all my Christmas stuff was taken. We now all know it was Mickey, so I'm too upset to buy all new stuff. I got home from work this morning after having one of the worst nights in a long time, exhausted and stresed. And what do I see? My daughter and my Richard had bought a tree, all new decorations and put it up as a surprise for me. Need I say more?! Ahhhh.
