outside...freezing cold outside. as i told my sister today it is double nipply cold day. i didn't even take gordy with me when i went to pick the kids up from school.

what i learned...it doesn't look to good when your oldest child comes home from school (after having a half day of school) and u are just waking up at 11 a m

around the house...jay is sleeping, holly is roller skating and chatting online, andrew is sitting behind me waiting to use the computer, matty is watching the lost world.

plans for the weekend...the weekend got off to a great start. we treated ourselves to dinner at joe's crab shack. holly and andrew did not get seafood. which makes me wonder what they think in the kitchen when people order anything but seafood. when u go to a seafood resturant don't u get seafood? jay got crab legs, matty got fishsticks and i got some yummy salmon with a pineapple glaze, with potatoes and green beans as a side. oh my! soooo good. holly has her bowling league saturday morning. also on saturday i plan on grocery shopping at meijers. i heard some peanut butter was on sale for 99 cents. also have holly's science project to help her with.

what i am making...not quite at the making stage but i am gathering everything i need to start my chicago scrapbook. the book will start with a pic of me and nicole at the muesum in 1987, then go on to other trips i made to the windy city.

i am thankful for...theresa who blogged this way and i just love it and her!

this has been a word from nicole
