I have been watching the neighbor boy, Jake, while his daycare is closed and yesterday the funnest thing happened. I had greeted them off the bus and then I went inside because it was a little cold. A few minutes later Tate and Jake come in and Tate says something like man the good old days were hard. I am now in the room beside them so I just listen. The conversation continues something like this...
Jake: What about the good old days?
Tate: They were hard!
Jake: Yeah!
Tate: They didn't have houses and everything was dirt!
Jake: And no lectricee (electricity) too!
Tate: Yeah, just one light bulb for lectricee!
I was just rolling on the floor listening to these two six years reminisce about the old days. I did all I could not to laugh out loud for them to hear me and stop the conversation. There was more to it but that is all I can remember.
Since Will's season is wrapping up I added some hockey photos on the slide show to honor his season. Will is number 3. The team is now in the district playoff with single elimination. The first game was on Monday and of course they won. So tonight we are off to the second game, which is over an hour away. With game time and the drive we will be gone from 4:30pm to around 9pm. Late night for Tate, heck me too! I truly hope that they don't win because then we have to drive to even farther on Saturday. The team will probably win because of the drive and Mike is going to be out of town so I will have to drive. I don't mind driving it is just the there is suppose snow this weekend.
Hope Mike's travels go ok too. He is going to New Orleans for a work trade show and will be gone until March 1st. I think this will be the longest that he has ever been away from the family. He never travels for his job so I don't real mind this trip that much. Just hope that the weather doesn't effect his or anyone's travels this weekend.

Getting Older
Do the days just seem to fly by when they are approaching your birthday? Not much longer and I will be another year older! Can I hope that time suddenly stops or just up and reverses itself! Maybe I should just forget time and pick my own age. Ok, that sounds good ~ I am now 29!
So the other day I was in our bedroom and all I hear from the living room is Mike telling Tate "no more growing up!" Mike was just playing around with Tate on the sofa and he just realized that Tate is getting so big. Where does the time go! I look at Tate and then Will and can't believe the difference the years make. Will is so grown up looking and Tate still has the little boy look, however it is quickly disappearing hence the reason for Mike's comment. I am still lucky to be able to pick Tate up and spin him around, Will can now pick me up and spin me if he so wanted. I am so glad that I enjoy scrapbooking. I feel like it is my little stoppage in time! I can capture and create art on everyday happens so we can look back and remember!
The high school had Snow Days last week. Wednesday was formal day, this was the only day that Will dressed up for. He looked so nice and I lucked out and was allow to snap a few photos. I remember purchasing the jacket that Will is wearing at Herberger's for $10 when I was about his age. It was a fashion when I was younger for young girls to wear "men's style" clothing. Who would of thought that Will would be wearing my jacket years later!
Enjoy time! I think that this young 29 year old might be going outside to do a few cartwheels! ;-)

You spin me around
New washer is here and working! I am impressed that we were able to install it all by our self. I have done laundry twice already. It is so nice because it is bigger so laundry was done in three loads today. Oh boy, does it spin!! The clothes are whipped into shape. The funny thing is that Tate and I sat and watched the washer work for about ten minutes. It is cool to be able to just sit on the laundry room floor and watch the washer do the work!
Tate was so cute when he came home from school today. He came bursting into the house because it was so cold outside. His hair was all messed, nose running and cheeks all rosy.
I also had some time to work on a scrapbook page since I didn't have to do as much laundry. The page is of Will at Bunker Beach this last summer. I guess that it was a good page to do when the weather is so cold. Just made me feel warmer. You can click on the photos for a larger view.
Did the groundhog see his shadow? How much more winter? Anyway, stay warm until next time!
