Tailgate

We went to our first-ever tailgate party last night at the New England Revolutions game.  The event for elementary school families was organized by the new PTO Prez – Chris (Thanks Chris & Elizabeth!), and it was a lot of fun despite the chilly weather.  Luckily, I usually have enough clothes in the back of my car to outfit an army, so we all had on 3 or 4 layers.  The kids didn’t seem to notice the cold and they just ran around the parking lot like a pack of loonies.

We left a few minutes before the end of the game because the kids were getting antsy and annoying the serious soccer family sitting in front of our crowd.

It was a great night and the Revs won…looking forward to doing it again next year!

Bob Update

The other day I posted about my experience with the rug protection I purchased from Bob’s.  I really didn’t expect a reply, but I got a voice mail yesterday from a Bobs’ Customer Service representative (not Bob, but he’s probably busy making commercials).  She said that they had a $50 gift card for me and wanted to verify my address.

That’s pretty good customer service, in my opinion.

Awkward Family Photos

I stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago – AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, so now I have a habit of checking it when I look to see what’s new on PeopleOfWalmart.com.  In addition to awkward photos, there are a few posts about other awkward family situations, including this one about Thanksgiving – unbelievable!
For the record, this photo is not of anyone in my family, though I’m sure we have some awkward photos in the family albums.  I just love the looks on the cats’ faces.

My Trusty BMD

As you may have learned from the road trip post with Norah screaming and throwing her shoe, I have a secret weapon for when the kids get unruly in the car.  I call it my BMD or Behavior Modification Device.  People with no imagination might call it a spray bottle.  Lana loved the tool so much that she stocked up on personal-sized BMDs that fit into the cup holder, and she gave me a pink one of my very own. 

This morning I was dropping Norah off at school and she was talking about getting her driver’s license someday.  Here’s the conversation that followed (I did not give her the idea.):
