Blizzard 2010

We have had the most amazing snowfalls here in VA. Basically we have had 2 big snows in one week! It has been so cold and windy though that I haven't taken SL out in it. Also my hubby has been gone so I haven't felt like getting out in it without him. We have had such a crazy 2010. I have so much to write about and I don't know if I will every get caught up (I never even finished writing about our vacation last July, Ha!) Hopefully I can get caught up when my hubby gets back (it is hard to blog with a 2 year old), because we have major news! We have added to our family and no I am not pregnant, we didn't adopt, and it is DEFINITELY not a pet. So you will have to wait until a little later to find out (I am such a tease, LOL).
Anyway, Melanie, here are the pictures of our blizzard...these are especially for you!

The Snow is starting:



A little more:




Now we are talking:




Night time:


Time for Snow Cream!
First take a bowl of fresh clean snow

Add milk, sugar, and vanilla:

Scoop and Serve:

Enjoy!



After it has snowed all night, this is what it looked like in the morning:





Melanie, here is your door pic!







And just when we thought it was over we get 5 more inches just a few days later!

Check out these killer icicles:



We have a major case of cabin fever, so here are some things we have done to pass the time!
Cute Outfit time:


I got bored and decided to dress SL up!

Pretend Time:

This is the new game SL came up. She lined up her animals on top of the box and was having a little play!
Potty Time during the blizzard:


She decided all by herself that she wanted to use the potty! (she didn't make a deposit however, but it is a start!)

I tried to make lunch interesting one day by serving it in a Valentine Heart ice tray.

I used butterfly cookie cutter to cut out peanut butter sandwiches, she had goldfish, and animal crackers and animal fruit snacks. (can u guess the theme?)


Yum!

Dress Up Time! She Loves this old sun hat of mine. Glad to see that it is being used!

My craft blog is up!

I have decided to start a new blog just for crafting and keep this blog about family and SL's totschool.

So if you want to see my new craft blog please goto

Merry Christmas!!

Here is our Christmas card this year. Thought I would share with all my blog friends!


Included a pic with Santa. She is looking a little shy, but she went up to him all by herself and told Santa she wanted a bike for Christmas! Mommy was very proud!

Well taking a break until the new year! Will be back in January with lots of Tot school post and hopefully will start with my craft blog as well!! I hope everyone enjoys their holidays!!

Hello old friends

Hello blog friends, I am back.

This cute outfit was made by my friend

Melanie

. I absolute love it and wish I have one for Christmas (hint, hint). Actually I think I may attempt one myself.




Check out how cute the back is!

Here SL is Mousercising:




Boy does she love that mouse. She gets so upset when the show is over. We joke and call it her crack, lol!

We went to my friend Debi's house for Thanksgiving supper. Debi was the first friend I met when we moved here and she has been there for me so often! She cooked a huge dinner.


Debi's husband, Pete, deep fried a turkey:

I made Paula Deen's green beans and a pineapple casserole. You can find the recipes

HERE and

Jay and Pete:

Debi's son, Alex:

(I can't believe that he is this big now! And when did stone wash black jeans come back in style, lol!)

Debi brought out a tub of toys for SL and she loved them. She had to sit in the tub to really enjoy them, lol. I loved the toys because they were all old Fisher Price toys from when I was a kid!


Debi has three dogs and SL had a blast playing with them and they were so sweet with her!

Rudy makes a good seat:


And this last pic cracks me up because Libby used to hate Jay and run from him and bark and bark at him. But for some reason she really took to Jay this last time and just loved all over him!

We had a great Thanksgiving Day!
