Saturday Morning Cartoons

Kaitlyn really knows how to watch Saturday morning cartoons in style. I walked in to find she had turned this box into her chair. It looks nice and cozy. Eventually she ended up all the way in the box with it all closed up while her dad pushed her up and down the hall. I didn't get pictures of that, but they had a lot of fun. She also had a lot of fun jumping out of the box and yelling BOO!

KAITLYN YOGA

January 14 was my Girl Scout Reunion. I know that sounds a little bit crazy. I was a girl scout for about 10 years growing up. I spent most of that time with the same group of girls. We were a Girl Scout troop until we were 16 - 17 years old. We ended our actual troop by working at the Buzz games to make money, and then we all went on a cruise together. We weren't your average Girl Scouts. We are all very different and we are all great friends. Now a days, aside from Facebook, we usually only see each other this one night of the year, but as soon as we are together it is like we talk every day. I love spending this one night of the year with these girls they are all fantastic.

Kaitlyn and Her Socks

Kaitlyn's new thing is to take off her socks and stuff all of her toys into them. When I do laundry I have to check inside her socks for toys, crayons, chapstick, markers, and tissues. My favorite thing she does with her socks though is when she dresses her dolls in them. She began putting them on as their pants and then adds whatever else she can for the rest of the outfit. In the picture you will notice that her Prince Charming doll is dressed in a sock on the bottom, has Kaitlyn's underwear wrapped around the top of him and then has a Fazoodle and a bridal bouquet for her build a bear on his head. Oh and don't forget the pretty pink wig wrapped around him. He looks awesome. I am pretty sure he is ready for the ball. She loves dressing her toys.

Our Family

So I decided to start my blog with a small sumary of our family. Kevin and I met in 1999 and went on exactly 3 dates at which time we decided we didn't like each other I guess. We didn't go out again or even see each other for a year and a half. In April of 2001 we happened to run into each other and for some strange reason Kevin asked me out and for some even stanger reason I said yes. I mean after all we had tried this once already and it didn't work out. Well this time it did work out, we ended up dating for 2 year and then we were married on April 17, 2003.

After 3 years of work and marriage life we welcomed Kaitlyn to our family in October of 2006. The past 4 years have been so much fun watching her learn and grow and develop her sassy attitude. She is so much fun and if you haven't already figured it out this blog will mostly be about her and the crazy things she does. I think my need to remember and share the fun times with her is my main motivation for starting this blog.

The Blogging Begins

Okay so I am not the worlds most enthusiastic blogger. I have meant to start a blog for years and have never done it. This year however I decided to make starting a blog my new years resolution. So the Michaelis Merry Go Round is born. I have no idea how to blog or even what to blog about. If any of you great bloggers out there have any fantastic tips I would love to hear them. I have spent the last few weeks just trying to come up wth a name, and in the end Kevin is the one who named the blog. I know he is awesome for naming my blog for me. So now the blogging begins.
