I can’t think of a title this morning. This will have to do.

I'm still in a stupor from this weekend, which went by in a crazy blur. On Saturday, I had my Stampin' UP new catalog kick-off open house, and we made stuff.

Then we went to a progressive dinner with our small group from church. No photos of that.

On Sunday, we drove out to PA to visit Kirk and Missy and attend their awesome Super Bowl party! You may wonder what drove people from Cleveland to Pittsburgh when the Steelers were playing in the big game, but I have to tell you: somebody needed to root for the Cardinals, or it wasn't going to be fair. Actually, there were quite a few closet Cardinals fans present, and I think they felt safer rooting for them with us there. 😉 We were upstairs, and the crazy Steelers fans were in the basement with the big TV, and we could just cheer how we wanted. It was a great game, even though the Steelers won, and it was very amusing to see how HAPPY the fans were because of it.  I made a new friend, too. (She was one of the closet Cardinals fan). Her name is Kristen, and she is a photographer too, and she has an awesome website:  www.kristenjoyphoto.com . We stayed up way too late, ending up in the hot tub after midnight. Let me just say that I am TOO OLD to stay up late, eating crazy food and drinking strong margaritas. I pay for it big time the next day, when I am wandering around Ikea with my husband trying to decide on floor lamps.

As usual, it was fun to see the kids. Isn't this boy super-handsome?

And here is the girl, who cut her own bangs a few days before:

As I mentioned, we went to Ikea yesterday and found floor lamps for our dark and hard-to-light front room. And we bought frozen Swedish meatballs and had Linda over to eat them with us. She is the best friend ever for watching our pets when we leave. Myles thinks she is supposed to live here with us, and we agree. Linda, move in with us.
