A Funny Conversation....

Here's a conversation between Zu Zu and I while making dinner tonight:

Zu Zu - Mommy you need a new kitchen.

Me - I agree.

Zu Zu - We'll have to break this house and buy a new one.

Me - We need to break this house?

Zu Zu - Yep.  We break the stairs.

Me - You're going to break the stairs first?

Zu Zu - Yep.  Then we buy a green one.

Me - We'll buy a green house?

Zu Zu - We buy a green one for the Chief.

Me - Oh.  A green one for the Chief.  What color do you want?

Zu Zu - Orange.

So, I guess I'm stuck with a green and orange house.  If you see one, let me know.

Freezing in Michigan!

  

 

In case any of you don't understand what it is you're looking at - that would be ice on the inside of our sliding glass door.  That's how cold it is people.  We also have ice on the inside of our windows and door.  I think it's  high time the University invested in some new windows/doors for family housing.  I know it's fun to pay high heating bill prices because everyone has to crank up their thermostat in order to stay warm, but didn't you get the memo about the economic crisis?  Come on people we live in the age of conservation!  Think green, save green.  Enough said.

The beginning of 2009

Happy New Year everyone! I'm only a week late, but better late than never is a philosophy in our house so there you have it. We're back at home and trying to get into the swing of the new year. The Chief has started back to school and Clay is back working everyday. I'm mostly trying to recover from lack of sleep. We switched Zu Zu's bed into a toddler bed because she kept asking for a big bed. Unfortunately, she sees it as an opportunity to get up and wonder around at night, so we're all a little sleep deprived from late night trips to the bathroom.

It was so nice to see family and friends over the holidays. Thank you all for your letters and gifts. They have made these holidays quite joyous. I'll be posting some photos as soon as I get them downloaded and sorted.

Cheers!
