Hard at work
Cutting the grass
Taking a little break from all his hard work
Upset!
Helping wash Leah's car
Wash, wash, wash.
Puddles!

I'm mildly obsessed with Glee so when I like the big "chorus" number, I don't always delete it off my DVR right away. A couple weeks ago, I let Colin listen to them sing and he was mesmerized and quickly asked "one more time" about five times in a row. He asked to see "sing" today and when we watched it the first time, he started singing and dancing to it. Of course when I went to tape it, he froze up but you should see a couple places where he still got into it. So without further ado, I present the youngest Gleek fan.

For those who know me well, you already know this about me. For those who don't, let me fill you in on something. I love getting things for free! I love doing surveys for money or points. I like finding things to earn a little extra money. There are so many "get rich quick" things out there nowadays and many are scams but I've come across a couple good sites. While none of them will get you "rich quick" or even rich at all, they are all easy.

The easiest one is Swagbucks. Essentially it's a search engine like say G0ogle. It randomly picks winners when you use their search engine and rewards you with random Swagbucks. You can then redeem those bucks for merchandise or gift cards. I, however, use it for everything even websites I know the address for. Yes, it's an extra step but I figure it increases my chances of winning.

I redeem my bucks for Amazon gift cards which in turn I can use for "free gifts". If you started using the site today and use it often, I'd say you could probably earn $50 in Amazon gift cards before Christmas!!

Mike and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on May 20th. My parents and Tim graciously offered to watch Colin, so we were able to have some much needed time together. We headed back up to the Inn at Bay Harbor. Once again we were spoiled with a fantastic room, view, and VIP treatment. We had beautiful weather and walked around downtown Petoskey, rented bikes in Bay Harbor, did some gambling, ate some good food, and just relaxed at the resort. While we didn't go overboard with pictures (probably because there was no Colin), I still have too many favorites to chose, so slide show! Often times, the slide shows are off-center for some reason. If so, just click on the slide show and it should allow you to look at the pictures individually.

Norah Elizabeth made her grand enterance into this world today! Welcome Miss Norah and good luck with all these crazy boys!

It was a nice spring day so we decided to head to the zoo.

Fave picture of the day!

Colin received this "church bank" from church last week for the Forward campaign. He loves carrying it around under his arm. He's so proud of it. He loves looking for money and putting it in. He frequently asks when he can bring it to church and has even tried leaving in his jammies to bring it to church. I'm sure the fact that it is incredibly loud when he shakes it probably doesn't hurt how much he likes it either :)

Mike and I are in the dining room talking about day at work when we hear the screen door close. I bolt into the living room and Colin is standing there with a leaf in his hand. Clearly a leaf he grabbed from the porch. Now we've had this conversation before; Colin is never to open the door himself. He's never actually open the door before but he's tried. So the conversation goes like this:

Mommy sternly: "Colin Isaac! Are you allowed to open the door by yourself?"
Colin: "no. naughty."
Mommy: "Colin does not open the door. Only Mommy and Daddy open the door."
Colin: "no Colin open door. Mommy open door. Daddy open too."
Mommy: "yup. What happens when Colin opens the door?" (meaning timeout)
Colin VERY excitedly: "Colin get LEAF!!!"

Well played Colin, well played.
