January 23 - Oh, Deer!

This is one of the many reasons why we love living in Indiana.
Where else can you look out your laundry room window and see this?

Hi, little fella!

January 22 - Carnies!

Mayah went to the circus for a field trip today. I would have gone along, but I think the whole circus/ carnival scene is creepy and bizarre - (ugh, Carnies).

Quite aware of my loathing of clowns, she decided to bring these wonderful cards home. Nice to see she got my sense of humor.

January 21 - Bowling Day

Wednesdays are bowling league days for Coobie and Mayah. Here they are standing outside the bowling alley, which looks like it's been attacked by a frozen waterfall.

January 20 - Inauguration Day

Like most Americans, I watched the Inauguration of Barack Obama today.

January 19 - Chloe Hates Me

Today was vaccination day. I think she knew where she was headed...

January 18 - Mayah's Birthday

Today was Mayah's 10th Birthday. We officially have no more single digit kids. How sad!

We celebrated with the obligatory visit to Red Lobster (for lunch this time, since we had to rush home to watch the Eagles game) and then followed up with cake and prezzies.

January 17 - Grown Folks Love It, Too!

I took this picture because I was groggy and tired and it was the first photo op of the day.

January 16 - Icy!

So, I'm slacking a little getting the last couple days' worth of pictures up. I've been recouping from last week's employment and the horrible commute that went with.

Our actual low Friday morning (without wind chill) was -26.

Here's the bench on our deck. Looks inviting, no??
