Project Life - Week 3

Sunday - We have started making soup for dinner every Sunday. This week we made White Chili. It was pretty yummy but a little spicy. Handy said he would make some changes to the recipe next time.

Monday - Bevo was excited to have a visitor! Of course the only reason any one comes down to our house is to see him, not hang out with his people.

Tuesday - We had to go to calling hours on Tuesday night. It was super windy and some trees were knocked down a few blocks away.

Wednesday - Handy has been using this cast-iron skillet for everything... steaks, cornbread, pork chops, gumbo, salmon, bacon... you name it, he's made it.

Thursday - Who is excited about the snow? This girl!!! It even snowed enough to get our first snow day of the year on Friday.

Friday - Movie night with the Mr.

Saturday - Lunch at my favorite restaurant! I tell Handy all the time he's lucky that I'm happy with a chicken sandwich and fries rather than wanting to go to fancy restaurants. We even had coupons!

Project Life - Week 2

Sunday - B was happy for us to spend a lazy day home with him. He wasn't so happy when I was yelling at the television during the football games.

Monday - We got a couple more things finished in the Peanut's room. It turned out really nice even though we pieced things together rather than buying a bedding set... it was much cheaper too.

Tuesday - Handy calls these "meat muffins". I don't care what he calls them as long as I get to eat them! They were super yummy.

Wednesday - I'm not sure what is worse... taking semester exams or having to grade semester exams.

Thursday - This is where toys end up when the pup isn't gentle enough with them. Poor Gator is missing an eye and has a leg that is barely attached.


Friday - the picture I took didn't turn out well... I will have to find a filler picture.

Saturday - We went to watch Kendra play basketball. It was pretty fun but we had never heard so much squealing. Apparently the coaches tell the girls to yell when the other team takes a shot. Kendra had 3 points even though her team lost.

Project Life - Week 1

Jan. 1-7

Sunday - We always take a New Year's picture in Aunt Pat's kitchen. She has a little step stool in there that makes me taller than the Handy man!

Monday - Apparently Handy's helpfulness isn't limited to just our house. He was tired of hearing the sign over at the church clank when the wind blew. One bolt and washer later all was quiet.

Tuesday - Bevo is on a lot of medicine right now, which is good for him since his hunger strike means that he only eats the two peanut butter treats we give him at breakfast and dinner.

Wednesday - I need to pay more attention when I get dressed in the morning. Mismatched earrings are quite a fashion statement. At least I had on the same shoes.

Thursday - The rocking chair finally made it into the Peanut's room. The pink cushion actually doesn't look too bad up there and it kinda matches with the other stuff we have.

Friday - We went up to First Friday to see the ice sculptures. It's pretty amazing what they can do with chainsaws and blow torches. I liked the dog the best.

Saturday - The sausage at the Cheese is always sculpted to look like a piggy. It's a little too cute and makes me not want to eat it.

365 - Final Week

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” - Luke 2:10-12

Sunday - Lari posed with me for a Christmas photo.

Monday - Our Christmas celebration took an extra day. Handy was in charge of bringing the gifts down because he can carry the most at once.

Tuesday - This boy enjoyed some extra time on the sofa after spending the majority of the last two days in his box

Wednesday - This is how projects usually go at our house. Handy works and the boy and I watch.

Thursday - Dear strawberry pretzel dessert, I love you.

Friday - I'm already putting my new planner to good use. Hopefully it will help me to not forget anything important.

365 - Week 49

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - We almost didn't get our Christmas cards out this year. Snapfish was running behind with their prints so after waiting for 2 weeks we decided to get our photos printed locally so the cards could go out.

Sunday - Christmas in Avon Lake

Monday - The pup got a bath and a treat as a reward. He hates getting a bath.

Tuesday - It's a wrap. All the presents are ready to go!

Wednesday - After another trip to the vet Bevo is on a third kind of medicine for his skin. We feel bad for him but he doesn't mind. He gets a peanut butter treat before both his meals.

Thursday - This yummy bean dip has become a staple around our house. It's been the perfect thing to take to parties too.

Friday - We're ready for the Christmas weekend to begin!

365 - Week 48

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - We have been so busy that we had to cram almost all of our Christmas shopping into one day. We were pretty successful and only have a few more things to pick up.

Sunday - After buying all those gifts we had some hardcore wrapping to do.

Monday - The Peanut's Christmas gift came in the mail today. I hope she likes it as much as I do.

Tuesday - I love decorating our dining room with Christmas cards.

Wednesday - Dinner at the Cheese!

Thursday - We ordered these clementines what seemed like forever-ago. Handy was pretty happy when they finally showed up.

Friday - Stagg Bowl 2011. Wooooo Raiders!

365 - Week 46 and 47

365 days = 365 photos

Saturday - Let the decorating begin! We gave Bevo a treat so he wouldn't be in the middle of the action, apparently he was going to be there anyway.

Sunday - This is what we do.

Monday - This cup didn't even make it a year. Handy dropped it at work and it broke into two pieces. I think we need to stick with metal mugs.

Tuesday - You know your husband is low-maintenance when "beef jerky" is actually on his Christmas list.

Wednesday - The FedEx man couldn't find our house. When they called us we told them the same thing we tell everyone "look for the red door."

Thursday - Grilled cheese on the new panini press! They were so yummy.

Friday - Chip dip sale + coupons = a whole shelf full of dip for the handy man. Now we need a whole shelf of potato chips.

Saturday - Christmas tree picking day. The weather was the warmest I can remember but it was super muddy.

Sunday - Bevo's tree is up and decorated. There's lots of Longhorn orange on that little tree.

Monday - The dining room table is looking festive with our new poinsettia. Let's see if this one lives until March like last years.

Tuesday - Handy picked up our "Connie - corn" early this year. It is so good! We each got our own bag. Can you guess which one is for the lady and which one is for the man?

Wednesday - Handy made some cookies after supper. I didn't even know he was making them until they were out of the oven... He's not a big cookie person so I was pretty surprised.

Thursday - I got a thank you note at work today. It's nice to know you are appreciated.

Friday - This is our new ornament for 2011. Our collection is getting bigger and bigger.
