Flashback Friday

After we reorganized the basement so I have a much nicer office area, complete with carpet and loveseat, my color printer wasn't hooked up. Well, that finally got rectified so now I can scan stuff again. Thus, the wonderful pics here. 


First up is my Uncle Ken with the four girls at my Aunt Rosalie's house. Look how tiny Meg is! This was in Chicago before Dan graduated and we moved back to Minnesota.

Here's another oldie! This is me and my sisters. So funny to look at this. Things have changed since then. For one thing, I can't tell you the last time Sara wore overalls. This was when Gap was selling them and everyone was wearing them. And this was the shortest my hair ever was. And I was probably  at my thinnest.

And here's my stud muffin of a brother, John. Looks like a country star, doesn't he? This was actually his senior year in high school 13 years ago. It was some kind of round-up dance or something at Tonka.

And more recently, the girls' Halloween costumes for 2013. Lauren is a fairy princess, Emily is a young lady (although one person guessed her to be Kim Kardashian!), Meg is Strawberry Shortcake, and Annika is Americal Girl doll Kit Kittredge.

And, at long last, we have some great Kid Quotes again, courtesy of Megan!

Megan, trying to do simple counting and addition on the computer for a math website: Mom, I can't find the number 10!
Megan: Mom, I've counted to infinity plus nine--twice!
Megan, as we were trying to hurry children to get dressed at 7:40am for school, looks at the analog clock above the sink and says: It's 88 o'clock! [If you look at a clock for 7:40, this will make sense.]
