What a Wonderful Weeked

This past Saturday Joey, the boys and I went to see the Michigan football team play their Spring Scrimmage in Ann Arbor. It turned out to be a great day. Simon ended up sleeping through most of the game, which was a plus for us. He saw the football field, and the players and once he had enough he was out.
I have to share a funny story. While I was posting some of these football pictures on facebook Joey came into the room and I was asking him who some of the more famous past players were that I had gotten photos of. He asked why, who are you blogging that to? And I don't know why but this had me in tears. He is always making fun of me Tweeting, and Blogging and being on Facebook. He really needs to get all the terms straight. I mean come on, I wasn't blogging it to anyone. You don't blog to someone.

He feels that we are all 'friendless' people. If we all wouldn't be on the internet so much we could have friends.

While I'm on the computer he's busy doing my chores around the house. Dishes, cleaning, putting the kids to bed.

My reply was, "I know. I've blogged about that already." Geez...just lay off, Joey!
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled blog post.....this is for Aunt Staci. Simon loves his Diet Dr. Pepper. I wonder who he gets that from?
Simon, Alex, and my niece Ali with their eggs. We had wonderful weather. The kids all had fun. There was just enough to eat. It was just a great day.
The high school was supposed to have an away track meet tonight that I was going to drive the bus to, but it was canceled because of the weather. Didn't hurt my feelings too much because I didn't get the call until my sub was already at the school getting ready to take my afternoon kids home. So I was able to go to our Middle School track practice, and help the hubby.

When we got home it started to rain and I noticed the sun shinning too. The rainbow I saw out our front door was the brightest, biggest rainbow I think I've ever seen. I just wish this photo captured the beauty of it better. I just love seeing rainbows.

They really are a promise of a new day. And thank God for that. I'm ready for today to be over...after reading over my shoulder Joey is going to beat my ass tonight. So pray for me. [Just kidding, he doesn't hit me. Simon would never let him!]

A Butterfly Award and Blizzard Watch

My wonderful, favorite sister-in-law gave me the awesome award for having the coolest blog she ever knew. Who would have thought?!!? And who doesn't love a cute butterfly.

This is a 'meme' award, so it gets passed on. I have many favorite bloggers, but some of them have well over 100 followers. How in God's green earth do you get over 100 followers? I have 2. Well technically 3 if you count my bus driver blog, but come on 100+. So I am going to pass this on to a few of the less popular blogs that I love to read daily.

The rules for passing it on are:
1. Put the logo on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded the blog to you.
3. Award up to ten other blogs.
4. Add links to the blogs you award onto your blog.
5. Leave a message for your awardees on their blogs.

I would like to pass this on to the following cool bloggers:

Cassie of The world the way I see it. We are new blog buddies, but she said it best...something about being destined to meet. I said bring it on, you live in the Sunshine state can I come live with you? She's crafty and fun.

Amanda of Crazy Mom Quilts. With a name like crazy it has to be good. She has a ton of helpful links on her blog that have helped me get back in the groove with quilting. Plus she has made some really cute quilts.

Latree of Dandelion. She is from Indonesia and I love having someone halfway around the world to connect with. Plus she has NEVER touched snow. Wouldn't that be a great feeling? She is a wonderful, sweet person, plus she has a cool blog.

I have lots of other fun blogs that I love to read and look at. Go visit these ladies and see why I like them so much.

On another note, we are under a blizzard watch. For some reason I have always thought that blizzards were something that only happened like...way back when. "Oh, do you remember the Blizzard of 1978", "No I thought it was 1983." Stuff like that. Well we have got more snowing and blowing coming our way. So, probably no school tomorrow. Which is a 'Yeah' and a 'Boo' for me. No work, but the kids will all be home all day. All 5 of 'em. 'Yeah' said in my most sarcastic tone. Hopefully the big yellow bus makes it back home in one piece with me intact tonight.
