Thanksgiving Dance Party

This song (Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO) is played at home Hawkeye games.  It's been stuck in my head for a week now, and so Tom finally downloaded it and played it on the home speakers.

Nate has some awesome moves, check them out!  I reduced the quality of the video so it will be easier to stream, so hopefully it's easy to view.  I have it in it's full HD glory at home :)

I have so much to be thankful for this year - today I'm especially grateful for a first grader who can make me smile any time. :)

I have my baby back!

It's been a long week, but I think it's safe to say that Novak is back to normal.

Just in time for Thanksgiving!

Growing like a weed

Just look how old he looks. Wow.

Early risers

Novak is sick.

103 degree temperature, double ear infection, puking in the middle of the night sick.

So, needless to say, he's not feeling well. He was up last night at 12:30 (to throw up) and then 4:40, crying and whining.

Finally at 5:11, I decided to take him out to the kitchen for an early breakfast.

A few minutes later, Nate staggers out of his room and into the kitchen.

"Mom, I need you to come fix my clock."

Why?

"It has a 5 on it..."

Yes, honey, that's because it's 5:15 am. Go back to bed.

"Okay."

For the record, he didn't really go back to bed. He went to the bathroom, refilled the toilet paper, then went and waited in bed until 6.

Of course Nile was up at 5:50. Guess its an early morning today.

Aspirations

Hey, Mom?

When I grow up I want to be a policeman. Because a policeman is the only one who can use a gun.

Right, mom?

Policemen are the only people who know how to use guns safely.

Right, mom?

Yikes.
