Thanks Karen! I'm having a great time doing all the family pictures on my computer. Some of them turn up the BEST matches! All my boys match Shirley Temple -- and Nicholas has a 40% match to Oprah! It's classic!

Six Weird Things about ME (I was tagged...)

Six ThingsRules: Each player of the game starts with “6 weird things/habits about you”. You need to list six weird habits you have or things you do that seem weird to others. At the end you must list or “tag” six people who need to complete this. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own “6 weird things/habits” as well as state this rule clearly. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they have been tagged and to read your blog!!


1. I can't swim. I never learned (not that there are many opportunities to go to the beach in Alaska.)

2. I don't like to listen to music in the car if there are other people in the car -- it's too chaotic. I don't mind having it on when I'm on my own, but put one other person in the car (even a baby), and the radio is off.

3. I am afraid of moths. They fly into hair and leave a chalky residue. I have also been known to shy away from an occasional butterfly if it's mistaken for a moth.

4. I HAVE to read the newspaper every morning.

5. I like to set my alarm for 30 minutes before I really have to get up so that I can look at the clock and blissfully think, "Oh good -- I have 30 more minutes to sleep." Of course, Nicholas is on to my game, and wakes up 10 minutes before the alarm so that not only do I not get the extra 30 minutes, but I loose 10 more!

6. I am obsessed with finding new recipes. I get tired of eating the same dinners over and over -- so I am always searching the internet for new recipes to try.

Since I don't know anyone else that blogs, the list will have to die here . . . Sorry Karen.

Keeping up with a blog is harder than I thought!

The boys were really excited to carve our pumpkin for Halloween. They even named it -- Evil Ed. Since Josh had to work, the carving task fell to me . . . so the pumpkin didn't turn out as scary as Sam had planned!
