Just hangin' out...

Would you believe that the kids are getting over a stomach bug!?!?!? It really does never end around here! Come on spring!

We love you Papa Jack!

It's always nice to see you Papa!
We love you! xxxoo

Superbowl PARTY!!!

We had such a great time! The Betts-Levines & the Maxwells joined us for a football fiesta! Thankfully they arrived way before the game b/c we got in lots of laughs, LOTS of food and lots of fun...until we were sorely defeated. Oh well, they had a great season~right?

Here are some pics taken before the loss...

Jay's famous ribs...they were sooo good!

Too much partying for Caragh.

The scoop on the Semi-Formal...

Yeah, right...do you think I got details??? All I know is that she had fun, she couldn't rate it on a scale of 1-10 and thought I was being a NUTTY parent asking her all the questions that I did. I got just a little info (reluctantly) and laughed at by her pretty much. She claims that her friend's parents don't ask them 20 questions after dances...TEENAGERS!!!!!!!!!

Oh and I forgot to mention a HUGE THANK YOU to Auntie Jeannie for doing Cass' hair and make-up! You're right, she looked da bomb! You're an awesome Auntie~the coolest one of the bunch, apparently (sorry guys). As long as I tell her Auntie Jeannie thinks so too, she seems to take my advice much more easily. Don't know what I'd (we'd) do w/out you! We love you!!!

Freshman Semi-Formal

Cass just headed off to her semi-formal dance. She got ready at her best friend Courtney's house, along w/ a few other girlfriends. We stopped by to get some pics of the beauties. They were so cute and I had to laugh at all the hairspray, perfume, doederant and make-up being applied over and over again. I sometimes forget what it's like to be young. I kept telling them that if they kept it up, at a certain point they'd start looking like Bride of Frankenstein (haha, they didn't think that was very funny). I certainly did. ;)

I'm anxiously awaiting 10pm when I pick her up. They were SO excited and I hope it was as fun as they expected. Ahhhh, to be a freshman again...well, on second thought, maybe NOT!

I promised some pics...

The Coughlins have gone BONKERS!!!

We went to Bonkers Funhouse last night. These poor kids haven't done anything fun in a long time due to that dang flu. We've been pretty much quarentined for the past few weeks. We all had a fun time, although Putnam Pantry on the way home would have made it a grand ol' time! ;) Jay drove right on by.

Ahhh, the mind of an almost 5 year old...

We are talking about our hair and how I don't like when people touch mine, I like to keep it nice and neat.
Reilly says, "I like mine nice and gay."

Reilly has highschool helpers as part of her preschool program. I asked her how her new big buddy was working out.
She says, "He seems a little French."

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!???!?!
