Love To Do!!

Thirteen Things about Blake The 13 things I love to DO: (Not in any particular order) 1. Family history--I own my own microfilm reader and can spend hours researching names. 2. Scrapbooking--My children have volumes each. My oldest (9 years old) has 6 3"binders. 3. Blogging--I look at it as a way to journal, the day to day moments of life. 4. Photography--I have hundreds of rolls of film on negatives, and I just burned all of my digital photo's onto cd's--it took 3! 5. Roadtrips--I love to get out and see this great land of ours. I have to be the one driving-or it's tiring and boring!! 6. Playing with my kids--boardgames, video games, coloring, you name it-I LOVE it!! 7. Decorating Cakes--I'm not very good at it--because I've never taken lessons--but I have made some darling birthday cakes for my kids, and even a beautiful 'basket weave' wedding cake (5 of them) for a friend! 8. Interior Design--Again--not a pro--but I love changing things and making them my own--it's just so darn expensive!! 9. Talking to my mom--she lives several states away--but I talk to her EVERYDAY! 10. Paint--Every year I make my kids a Christmas ornament. They are all the same-I get one too-when they get married they will take all of their ornaments from my tree. Then when they are all married and gone--the 5 of us will have matching ornaments! 11. Type--I would love a job that lets me sit at a desk-with no interuption, and just type and type and type and type! 10 Key is good fun too!! 12. I love TIVO!--I never have a chance to watch any tv on my own-with 4 kids--not a chance, but with Tivo-I take an hour after the kids are in bed, and watch my shows! House, Men in Trees, Crossing Jordan, The Dead Zone--just to name a few!! 13. Spending time ALONE with my husband! It happens so rarely--but when it does-it's a magical time!!

The "Shuffle"!!

Sunday we will be spending the day with my in laws and watching the Bears game at Walter Payton's restaurant! How cool is that! My husband just called, and they were getting our names on the list! My boys are going to love it! They are into anything sport related, and especially with the Super Bowl lurking so close!! It will also be nice to spend some time with my husbands "sane" portion of family--just incase we do end up moving west! This will be a wonderful memory for my boys to take!

I didn't live in Chicago when the Bears won the Superbowl 21 years ago! I lived in Utah, and my youngest brother was (and still is) a diehard Bears fan--so I did watch the Superbowl, and had even memorized the "Super Bowl Shuffle"! Wow, I hope if the Bears make it again--they will put out a new one! That was great!
