we played around the world ping pong till 2:00 a.m

we all fought to the death

and tried our hardest 

but 

regan won the grand prize of 10 big ones

eric took 2nd and received two coupons for free tacos

and

bob placed an impressive 3rd place

and received a handy dandy pen

we ate some really good food. my sister is a fantastic cook and my girls love to be in the kitchen and learn all they can from her. thanks karen,you are always such a great hostess.

we played guesstures

after a couple of days living in our p.js, no make, no showers

who had time to shower?

way too many games to play 

football to watch

 food to eat  

but

we were getting a lil cabin fever

CHA-CHING

everyone in mr. smarty pants school had to take the state geography test. He placed 3rd in his grade and walked away with a cash prize of a whopping 15 bucks.

bridger has always been really good at geography

at a young age he would "play" more with the globe then he would with his toys.

bridger would study the globe for what seemed like hours

he would say things like

mom, ask me where madagascar is?

mom, ask me where france is?

mom, ask me england is?

mom, ask me where japan is?

it would NEVER stop.

looks like all that "playing" paid off.

he can thank his father for his smarts

they have the smarts

i have the street cred.

winning combo eh?

WHY............
is there toilet paper in the outside fridge?
no one will confess
how does one do this?
this kind of behavior goes on ALL the time at my house
i will find cereal in the fridge and milk in the pantry?!?!?
does this kind of craziness go on in anybody else's house
or am i the only one?
please tell me i'm not the only one.....please!!!

525,600 minutes in a year

goodbye 2010 and hello 2011

we made the most of the final few hundred

minutes of 2010 with a Palfrey/Hopkins party!! 

We played 6 minute to win it games in 120 minutes. the final 10 minutes of 2010 were spent watching seacrest and dick clark drop the ball. Then the next twenty minutes consisted of much noise making, pan clanging, pot banging, merry making, toasting, kissing and other such razzle dazzle!!!!!

 we hope to continue to enjoy as many minutes of this coming year as we can.
  worry less and live more
