O.M.G.

My eldest daughter is currently eating her 17th Totino's Pepperoni Pizza Roll. This is her favorite food, hands-down, and has become a staple at our house. If you examine the package, a typical serving size is 6 pizza rolls. This is a new record for her. We fed her lunch, I swear.

Napoleon Dynamite Re-Inactment

You've all seen Napoleon Dynamite, right? Remember the seen where Kip asks Napoleon to "pull him to town?"

Cait: "Cara, it'd be nice if you could pull me to DQ....."

Brainwashed?!?

Mommy: "Ugh, my tummy hurts."

Emma: "I bet you just need to be adjusted....."

Happy Birthday, Joy Joy!

We hope we made your day a bit more special!

The girls and I left 10 days ago to meet my Mom and go visit my family that lives in Central IL. After a long weekend, we headed back to my parents' house in Milwaukee and spent the week there. Josh joined us Friday, after a trip on the Megabus (Thanks, Erin and Richard!), and we drove home yesterday! We had a blast touring the family!
