Yes, I've been tagged and I'm finally posting it

Here are six things about me.
1. While I was in college, during the summer I would go country dancing in Mesa, Arizona with a group of friends. I even had/have a pair of cowgirl boots and I hate to say it but I even wore Wranglers. Giddy Up!

2. I just finished my first book since Tommy was born. Kiki Strike Inside the Shadow City by Kirsten Miller. I recommend it.

3. My parents are both from NY so in High School we went to Niagara Falls for a vacation. I think I was a Junior. My parent's friends took us to Lake Ontario for a boat ride. It was a beautiful day and we stopped by a little cove that had a rope swing. My brothers ( I have two) and I got out and thought we'd give it a try. While my brothers took their turn I thought to myself, " I am going to out swing those two and swing out the furthest." (childish I know) Little did I know the boat had slowly drifted into the area that I thought was the "farthest of all rope swings". Unfortunately by the time I actually turned and saw the boat, I swung smack into it with my leg and barley missed the motor by six inches. Why didn't I just let go of the rope a foot before I ran into the boat? I don't know! And to top it off, I still have an indentation on the back of my leg to prove it.

4. I want to be a Jazzercise instructor and I secretly want to be a ball room dancer.

5. When I was little, I would smile toothless because I had a huge gap between my front teeth. Sorry, no pictures folks, those are locked in a vault.

6. I played tennis in college and traveled on a bus to the different schools. Most of the time we would leave really early in the morning or late at night. Each player would have their own seat on the bus but trying to sleep wasn't the easiest thing so, I would bring a small raft to sleep on in the aisle of the bus. Do I think I actually got more sleep because of the raft? Not really! But it was a good idea.

Super Hero Mania

Kassie really wanted to dress up like Spiderman so Lee used his creativity to create this outfit.
This is a scene of Spiderman to the rescue.

The helpless baby in dire need of saving.

Spiderman saving the day. (You may notice that Tommy wasn't happy about being saved.)

Turkey Anyone

Every year we visit my aunt and uncle in Canton, Ohio for Thanksgiving.
I am not kidding you. Kassie seriously asked for turkey on a bone and that's what she got.
These are my cousins, Julie and Stacey. Stacey was kind enough to cut every one's hair.
We bundled up the kids hoping to go for a walk but two minutes after this picture was taken it started snowing.
I know I look tired in this picture but I really wasn't. It was the following night that we shopped until 11:30 p.m.

Go Bucks



I know this is so terrible but after 3 1/2 years of living here, the Richardson family finally has Buckeye gear.
No, I didn't wait to buy the shirts until after the Michigan game.

The Return of Fang Face

A new Fang Face has emerged from the Richardson household. The children in our family are blessed because instead of getting their front teeth first, their incisors poke on through before the usual front tooth. It probably means our children will have to have braces in the future and may even get a casting call to be the next baby vampire. Tommy has quite the vampire smile. Watch out! He might bite you!

Warm Weather




This week's weather has been incredibly warm so the kids and I tried to be outside as much as possible. We played outside with friends and even went to the park. Tommy had his first experience with the sand box. (He has his pacifier in just in case he tried to eat the sand.)

Tommy Boy

Is your heart melting yet from that cutie pie smile? Tommy is such a good boy and is so easy going. He loves to smile and is definitely a momma's boy. Besides being enthralled by his big sister, he also likes to climb all over me and bite my shoulder every time I pick him up. I often have to remind him that I'm not a chew toy or a jungle gym!!

The Unicorn and the Frog

The Unicorn and the Frog were quite the sight this Halloween. Kassie absolutely loved her costume which I called the "punk-rocker unicorn". Tommy didn't care much about his costume but that was to be expected.
