Pardon My Blog




Can't say that I've ever had a blog before. After being an avid follower of my sister's blog (http://drozdfam.blogspot.com/), however, I now want to document the excitement, or lack thereof, in my life. So I made this a family blog. I thought Sean might want to post things, too. We'll see. So what's going on with us? As you can see from the picture, we got a dog! Molly joined the family several weeks ago. What is she, you ask? Good question! She's 100% mutt, that's all we know for sure. I got a new car on Thursday night! I use the term "car" loosely. It's really a giant SUV that I've nicknamed Big Bertha. I included a picture of my red beauty. It's a stock photo because I've been too lazy to take a real picture. I'm going to try and start having the camera handy 24/7 for posterity purposes. We went to Curtis Orchard yesterday. Not quite as wonderful as I'd imagined in my head. It fell right in there with searching for a real Christmas tree in the snow. The wind was vicious, the mud was everywhere, and it was a hefty hike to discover that the pumpkins were picked over, the kids whined and complained, and we ended up paying almost $15 for two pumpkins! On the way home we stopped for bread and saw the assortment of perfectly shaped pumpkins at the front of County Market for $3.88 a piece. I was less than thrilled with that discovery. Not sure if the pumpkin hunting will become a family tradition. We're carving said pumpkins tonight. I'll try to remember to take pictures tonight and post tomorrow.

Things like that (the apple orchard) always seem like they are going to be more fun than they actually turn out to be. A couple of years ago we went to the orchard/pumpkin patch when I was pregnant with Henry. I felt sick the whole time, Audrey had a huge screaming fit and I was dragging her around while everyone looked at her and I was about ready to cry thinking that there was no way I could handle two kids if I couldn't even get one under control. :)

Oh, I also had to tell you that I showed Audrey the blog and the picture of Molly and she said "why did Aunt Sara get another dog she already has Ruby"
