Oh the Excitement!

It's finally here- we are going home for ONE WHOLE MONTH starting tomorrow!  I can barely contain my excitement. One entire month of family and fun, what could be better? Get ready Utah, because HERE WE COME!!!!!

Superman

My superman may not fly around the world or get into fist fights with bad guys, but he is definitely my hero.  Other men might also go to school full-time while teaching, working a second job, fulfilling a church calling and taking care of his wife and two kids but not every man would drop everything, running out of a meeting and pushing back an important paper he was supposed to write, to run home and play nurse to his hurt wife.  My superman simultaneously writes papers, gets lunch for the kids, grades his student's exams, fills up bags of ice to put on my back, keeps my water bottle filled and my stack of books nearby, and helps me hobble to the bathroom whenever I call on him. My superman can give the kids a bath and put them to bed all by himself before coming in to make sure I have a movie to watch and munchies to snack on and then heading off to another grueling session of writing that will keep him up late at night.  My superman gets up at night with the kids and then gets up early to take them to a doctor's appointment before lugging the kids around campus with him to take care of a few end-of-the-term errands. My superman may not be the normal kind of superhero, but I could not make it through the day without him. Be jealous, ladies.  I have myself a good one :)

Theme Night: Buckeyes

Another theme night was WAY overdue. I had planned a few others and we always had to push it back for one reason or another so I finally said we were going to have one no matter what!  This was definitely our most ghetto/thrown together one but we still have fun so that's all that matters :) Since Richard just finished his first year at Ohio State and since my friend gave us some Ohio pasta

we decided to do a Buckeye night.  After eating the Ohio pasta, we taught Kaylee the O-H-I-O cheer.

We then played pin-the-O-on-the-Brutus.  Richard's is the closest only because he totally cheats :)

Since we had a Brutus face, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity to get our picture taken as Brutus!  Ha ha.  Now do you see why I said this was our most ghetto theme night?!?

How could you not love a Buckeye this cute?

We also planned on going outside to play football but Kaylee wasn't feeling very well. So instead we ended the night by making some chocolate/peanut butter Buckeyes.

 I didn't have any toothpicks to dip with so they ended up looking super hideous...but at least they still tasted great!  It definitely wasn't out best theme night but at least it's something to get us going again!  Richard just has one more paper to finish and then we 2 1/2 months without ANY SCHOOL- wahoo!!!! Bring on summer!
