I think mommy's playing tricks on me...

Every night at bedtime after we all say goodnight, mom or dad turn my light off and I sit in my bed and "read" stories to my buddies or sing songs to them.  Mom recently put up light blocking curtains in my room, so now I don't have the benefit of the streetlights outside of my window to be able to read by!  I think mom's tricking me, though.  Every night, I call to her on the monitor and tell her I can't see.  And every night, she tells me to close my eyes and count to 10 and maybe I'll be able to see when I open my eyes again.  I've been trying that 3 or 4 times and wouldn't you know, I *still* can't see without the lights on.  Sigh.  So now I'm just sitting in my room flipping the pages, but can't really see anything.  Good thing I remember the stories and can "read" them anyway!

I'm super excited for this weekend - only one more school day to go!  On Saturday we'll go to swimming, but on Sunday is the SUPERBOWL!  Granted "my" team (the Steelers, duh) isn't playing, but I'm excited to see my friends.  I hear Arabelle, Cole, Baby Jake and Baby Cora (they kinda go together in my mind), Gabriel and Baby Charley are all going to come visit!  Mom says we're going to make our own pizzas and maybe she'll even have a surprise treat for us.  What kind of trouble do you think we can get in to?

Funny story about football...we were watching the games a few weeks ago and I always ask questions about what's going on.  I was rooting for the Ravens against the Patriots (don't ask me why - mom asked me which team I wanted to win and that's who I said).  But of course they missed the field goal and the Pats won.  A week or so later, I reminded mom that the Patriots didn't miss the field goal...  How in the world do I remember such details?

Anyway, on Sunday I will be rooting for the Giants for my Uncle Dan.  Go Giants!
