Visit with Santa- at the Riverboat

Hailey was not too impressed with Santa. She usually LOVES everyone.

I love how she is keeping her distance and checking him out.

We visited Santa at the Riverboat the weekend before Christmas, but as usual I am just getting a chance to post. I promise to put more pictures on before I go back to work.

Different Kind Of Post

This is going to be really out of character for me. I like to post about my kids, and the things that go on in my little world, but reading msn.com just really ticked me off. Can you believe that some baseball player just signed a 5 year contract for 82.5 million dollars. I think it is absolutely ABSURD, and I have many choice words I would like to say to GREEDY people like him that think playing a professional sport is worth that much money. Don't worrry about what the economy is doing, please, by all means just get the most money you can get for hitting a stupid white ball. As an educator, do you know what 82.5 million dollars can do. I can think of a lot of things, and the number one being lower class size in primary classrooms. My friend teaches first grade with 28 kids. That is tragic!!! Okay, my blood is boiling, and I could go on forever about this, but I want to get back to my job, the kids are returning, and I have social studies to teach. Maybe we are going to have an economics lesson real quick.

Part II of the pictures

I needed to post again to add a few pictures!!! Just to give some background; the group photo is taken at the Wiegand's, they have a pumpkin carving party every year, and for the past 6 years we have taken a picture, the group has grown over the years, kids and adults. It is a lot of fun, and Shirley Rae or Grandma Wiegand makes the best treats for us. For those of you who haven't seen my dad recently, he is the one with the girls :)

New Pictures-Yeah for me!!

I feel like I have accomplished a lot this weekend. We put up the tree, decorated in the house, put up the outside lights and decorations, went out to dinner with a group of friends, went bowling with my parents, I Wii fitted twice and the best part, I got my hair done. The house really didn't get cleaned, and I didn't write my paper yet, put that is what the other days are for! Oh ya, I go to work on those other days. Some day I will have a house cleaner :) For those of you that like pictures you will be glad to know that I downloaded pictures also. The pictures ar random, some of Halloween, some of Zoe at a friend's birthday party, Zoe playing Barbie's, her new found favorite, we save it for after Hailey goes to bed and well I guess I will post again.

My Goodness

Where does time go? It has been over a month since I last posted, and I have not even downloaded pictures from Halloween to my computers. Things have just been a bit crazy. We have been busy with the regular, work, preschool, day care, gymnastics, swimming and hockey. The girls are doing great, getting big and having a great time. Zoe is a bit worried that winter will never end. She was talking to her Grandma and Grandpa on the phone while they were out of town and she always reminded them during the conversation that winter was still here. Hailey is just being 14 months old. She loves to play with Zoe in their bedroom. They play mother and kid, Zoe's favorite game, Hailey is the kid and Zoe is the mother. I do promise to post some pictures soon :) That is when I find some time.
