Rooting for the home team

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving in Wausau and LauraLynn was able to be there. I had more great pics I wanted to include, but Blogger is being annoying about flipping rotated photos.

Superheroes

The kids didn't have school Friday. We sent Leo to the morning two-hour Superhero Training Camp program at his afterschool program and in the afternoon he went to the Pirate Party at the Urbana Library. So what you see here is a pirate superhero, complete with eye patch, hook hand, and superhero backpack.

Molly's superhero power is making a mess before you can say "boo." Here she's taken the towel, napkins, and placemats out of the drawer.

Last night Molly decided she had to wear shoes and pjs at the same time. Since she was wearing footie pjs, this was the compromise.

Random around the house-ness.

This has been a full, busy weekend and Jeff was sick most of the week and finally better today, with me finally getting sick today. Yesterday we did farmers market for breakfast from the waffle truck, swim lessons, a trip to TJ's and Barnes and Noble (so Leo could spend BD money) and lunch at Za's. Then home for lots of laundry, planting bulbs, menu planning, and grocery shopping.

Today was gingerbread scones for breakfast, more laundry, house projects, and generally hanging out. We followed the end of the Packer game on ESPN.com, because they weren't shown on TV here this week. Leo had fun watching all of the plays being indicated by little arrows and such. And the Pack won--yay!

Got some lights on super clearance at Lowes awhile back

Jeff and Glenn spent most of a day installing them, with Leo's help, last week.

Molly trying Leo's hat and gloves.

She set herself and the stool up there like that. Sigh.

Can you see the cute little mouse peeking out of the sideways pocket?

Bought a curling iron yesterday (haven't had one since high school) and obviously forgot how to use it. That dark area is a burn.

Hemmed three pairs of pants today by folding and keeping the original hems--they all turned out great!

Both kids asked for oatmeal for dinner. Was trying to get a shot of Molly licking the bowl clean. Well , not "clean" since rarely is anything "clean" with her around.

That kind of day
