3 Weeks and Counting

Happy Mercredi everyone! (Mercredi means Wednesday.)

Things are moving along here in good ol' Albertville. Since today's Wednesday, most of us were not in school today and the 3 oldest only had a 1/2 day. So, we just stuck around the house, played outside a bit, and some of us even managed to get in a game of Settlers.

The day wasn't without its challenges though. There was more than the normal "stuff" that happens during any given day and so, looking at Janice right now, I can tell that she will be very glad to find the pillow tonight. (And, she's probably thinking "I wonder what it's like in Steve's world?")

I titled today's blog "3 Weeks and Counting" because there are approximately 3 weeks left in the Trimester. When it's over, we will have a very large exam that we need to get 50% on to pass (that's 60 points out of 120). It's split 50/50 oral vs. written so I have a chance to pass even with the anticiaped zero points in the verbal portion. Yes!

We plan on just hanging out here during the Christmas break. And, we will entertain some visitors for a few days as well so that should be a fun time.

We checked the weather in Fergus Falls yesterday. The low was 1 degree F. I can tell you that we DO NOT miss that kind of weather. The coldest it has been here is in the high 20's.

Have a great day.

May I Have Your Attention Please!!!

This just in....

In honor of the 100th Apple Cup

Dogs Rule and Cats Drool.*

Go Dawgs!!!

*Note: Definition...

a: to secrete saliva in anticipation of food (or was it beer?)
b: to make an effusive (by the way, for all you Wazzu grads, the most basic and easily understdood definition of "effusive" is "to talk too much") show of pleasure or often envious or covetous appreciation of UW grads.
c: to talk nonsense (i.e. - whenever the subject of WSU is mentioned.)

Have a GREAT day.

Our Thanksgiving Albertville 2007

We had to celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday rather than Thursday because there was a mix up with the butcher, but the good news is our dinner was great. Things didn't taste exactly like in the states but close. I cooked this freshly killed 20lb turkey along with green bean casserole, mashed potatos, home made dressing (I used my mother-in-laws method--thanx Jan-- and it turned out good, although I think I over did on the herbs...) We also had some ham roll ups, celery with cream cheese & green olives and a not so good spinach dip.

Liddy found Sunny Delight juice so we had some of that too. That is the bright colored juice in the cups.

Here are some pictures of the exciting event. Then of course the after dinner photos of our fat bellies. (ok, so they were taken the day after because we forgot, but you get the picture--no pun intended, but that was good huh!!) Payton is the one under the blanket sleeping the turkey off.

Hope your day was fun with family and friends,

love,

Proof That There Is Life On Other Planets!

Ok, well maybe this photo doesn't prove there is life on other planets but it DOES prove that all prayers, even very inconsequential ones, get answered.

While they aren't exactly Pillsbury good they are close enough for me.

Hope you all have a great day.

Did Somebody Say "Pull-ups"?

Hello! Hope your Wednesday (that's Mercredi for all you French speakers) is going well. Ours is. We're just enjoying a day off from school. In fact, we get every Wednesday off. The French school system is different than ours, of course. Kids get Wednesdays and Sundays off, and they go to school for a 1/2 day on Saturday's except some Saturdays like this Saturday when everyone gets the day off. (They do this once every month.) Weird, huh?

Speaking of weird, take a look at these 2 pictures I've posted. I'm not sure how Emma and Liddy ended up wearing these things but for some reason they did. Strangely, they both appear to be very happy. Go figure

After we took this picture Emma told us that she likes to wear pull-ups and that when we lived in Mt. Vernon she would actually fake needing to go to the bathroom so she could get a pull-up out of the cupboard. (I have a feeling that this won't be the last "Hey, you'll never guess what I used to do when...." stories. I can't wait to hear more!)

Have a great day.
