winter photos ...from the beach to skiing

Updated Pics

Can't believe it's been so long. Life has been crazy, more than usual and thankfully with really good things. New house, PhD program coming to an end for Phil, my job is going great and I'm still in Grad school and of course the girls are doing wonderful.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Girls Meet Santa

Our neighbors wanted to come over dressed as Santa and one of his elves. So I told the girls that I thought Santa might be coming by tonight. They grabbed the rice krispie treats we had made, opened up the fireplace and sat down to wait for him. Jessica even looked up the chimney to make sure Santa was going to have enough room. Thankfully Santa rang the door bell instead. Emma didn't know what to think and couldn't believe her eyes. Jessica was so excited she was about to explode.

Holiday Dance

I need to put up more pictures, but here are some cute ones from the dance show

A little help please

I thought there was a website blog to book where I could have my blog put into a hard bound book. No one is responding from their website. Where can I get my blog put into a book? This was supposed to have been my Christmas present. :(

Here's my bailout idea

Why don't the whinning, painsies who run the automakers ask the gas companies for a bailout? They're the assholes who were making record profits while the rest of us were going broke trying to fill our cars.

Honestly, do you know of anyone who is driving 'that much less' to warrant a $3 drop PER GALLON in gas? I don't. Seriously......we're all driving that much less?
Thank you Gorge W Bush.

Because I have sooooo much extra time

I start school tonight for my single subject teaching credential and Masters in Education. I figure working full time, doing everything possible for that 'Mother of the Year' award, and supporting a husband who all but lives in a lab while getting a PhD. just wasn't enough. So I go to class 2 nights a week till 9:30pm, but only for the next 10 months. Thankfully the babysitter lives next door. Without her I could see both Phil and I sitting together at the dinner table (not sure when that will happen)wondering, where are the girls? So it will be the Nance Nuthouse as usual. No soccer, tap, jazz, ballet or extra of anything, not till this wave of craziness passes. After all, once I am teaching the girls will have all summer to do whatever they want.

Trick or Treat

Love this picture~~~

what happens when

your stupid mutt eats an entire stick of butter?


Guess I will find out. Got a feelin' this isn't going to be pretty

Jessica's quote of the day

With Jessica I have a plethora of quotes to choose from on a daily basis. Last week she asked me if George Bush was mean. Even a five year old know! Today it was;

I know why you have 2 kids. So if one of us dies you still have another kid.


Sad to think about, but she's right
