Happy Valentine's Day!

Ella, Lily and Kellan say HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to everyone! :-)

We'll be dining on our traditional heart-shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's tonight. Hope you all have a delightfully happy day!

Where in the World is Andrew?

Last week Andrew was at the Super Bowl in Dallas and a conference in Kentucky. This week, he's in San Diego (nice, sunny, warm southern California...I'm not jealous or anything...especially with our -15 degree weather this week). :-)

Here's a few photos he's sent me from the Padres shoot:

Super Bowl 2011

Here we go again. ;-) Andrew is at his fifth Super Bowl right now. Here are some photos from day 1 and day 2 of his experience.

In other news, I'm not sure how it happened but Ella is a Packer fan. I know, I know, but I still love her anyway. And well, she is a Daddy's girl through and through. So, it makes sense. But I did teach her the "Go Pack Go" chant and told her to tell it to my friend Kelly (Kelly is a Packer fan) when she sees her in the morning at the bus stop. And Ella told it to her teacher at school too. I asked her what Mrs. Nieson thought and Ella said she just laughed. :-)

In the News--Again!

Andrew is currently at the Super Bowl. And I may get some photos posted on here in the next day or so. He's been giving me some from each day. I just haven't gotten them posted. But I did want to quick throw up this link to an article in the Racine Journal Times. They interviewed him regarding his work for the graphics and the Super Bowl.

I'm Stylish!

My friend Abbie who has an awesome blog called Greening Sam and Avery passed on "The Stylish Blogger Award" to me. Heh, I don't know how stylish I am, but it's kind of fun! Thanks Abbie for adding me to your list. Her blog has fabulous ideas for projects, crafts, and outings to do with your kids to teach them about the world around them. You should definitely go check it out!

Now onto following the rules of acceptance -

1) Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.

2) Share 7 things about yourself

3) Award 15 recently discovered great blogs/bloggers (The Versatile Blogger guideline was different the first time I received it so feel free to choose 10 or 15)

4) Contact the bloggers to tell them about the award

7 things you all don't know about me? Hmmmm

1. When I was in junior high, I wanted to be a writer. I LOVED writing stories and thought I might write a book one day.
   
2. I wrote my senior art history thesis about decapitation imagery in Baroque art.
   
3. When I was younger, I always wanted to own/work in a book store.
   
4. I think it might be kind of fun to be an art teacher in a non-school setting (like the Art Center, Community Center, etc.)
   
5. I wish I had the time and money to travel more often. There are so many people I've lost touch with because we don't live near each other.
6. I really want to travel to Italy with Andrew some day. We've always wanted to go there together. We've both been separately.
7. I will admit it...I still love Journey. Anyone who knew me in high school, knew I listened to them all the time. And yesterday, the Glee cast version of Don't Stop Believin' came on the radio and it made me smile.

So to pass the award along. Here are some pretty stylish ladies that I really admire. Both Abbie and another friend Amber (who gave the award to the book blog) listed several blogs that I would normally have chosen (including theirs). :-)

1. Allison at The Whole Ball of Yarn(s)
2. Renee at Our Happenings
3. Kathy at Art Projects for Kids
4. Emily at My Little World
5. DrewB at Momtog
6. Katie at Adventures of an Art Teacher
7. Marce at Tea Time for Marce
8. Girl Detective
9. Charlotte at Charlotte's Web of Books
