    We played something called "match rockets" - yes it involves matches and stuff... my dad is pointing to where his landed (far!)... but then my mom ended up winning.

    Grandpa's dog needed her stitches out... it took 5 of us.  Happy Thanksgiving Tillie!

    In front of "I-Lean", the tree.  It's kind of hard to tell in this picture, but trust me, she's leaning!

    Kate is cracking me up right now.   I just got 2 bags of hand-me-downs for Kate and she is trying everything on... having a BALL.  "Oh, this is SO CUTE!"   "I just LOVE this!"   etc...  And everything that she tries on she wants to show Caleb (who is playing a game in his room and could CARE LESS. )   I finally broke it to Kate that boys just aren't as interested in clothes as girls are and she said, "Yeah, that's just the way God made them."   So true

    We have the fun of puppy sitting Grandpa Olsen's dog Tillie over the next 2 weeks.  Isn't she cute?

     Today she discovered something on my back patio.

    NOT SO CUTE!!!

    I think it's a mole.  A very feisty mole, and not afraid of Tillie one bit.  Tillie FINALLY scared  her off - and thankfully didn't eat her, because I really don't think I could have handled that.   Matt wanted me to get the shovel and whack the mole, but I couldn't have handled that either.  I still get the heebie jeebies just thinking about the whole thing.  Ew.
