Snow Angels

Our "little" snow day was a lot of fun! The white stuff hung around for a few days-melted-and came back a few days later. It has been a CRAZY winter!

Snow!

So far this morning I have ventured as far as my front door. More pictures after we take the kids out to play! Like a nerd, I used a measuring stick to size things up: 5 inches at 7 am. Why do I feel so excited by this? I though I didn't like the snow...

Crazy Girl

The weather here is so CRAZY. The year started off FREEZING. It literally did not get out of the thirty's for a few weeks. Yesterday it was 65 and beautiful. Warm weather makes me want to sew and having a daughter to make little dresses for makes me actually sew. Unfortunately I am new enough to the craft to not yet be familiar with sizing properly and Isla is such a sassy little thing-actually measuring her is NOT an option. I whipped up this dress in about an hour on Saturday and from the looks of it, it won't fit her much more than an hour. Too bad, because I just LOVE the fabric. I think I will just bite the bullet and buy some more and make the dress in a 2T (for a 9 month old-CRAZY).

PS
Crazy Girl has been walking for a few weeks now-before I knew what had hit me I found her on the fifth step of the stairs-I really should have my head examined for wanting two more...

This week I sent both my boys off to school. After spending most of New Year's Day laying around watching football,(isn't Jack such a little dude already) we got ready for Adam's second semester of second year in Dental school and Jack's first experience of school (two mornings a week).

Baby, It's Cold Outside...

With temperatures struggling to reach the upper 30's and a likely chance of snow later this week, we have been holed up indoors-lots of dancing and singing, painting, warm baths and BAKING! My version of mom's beer bread is not quite as pretty but boy, is it yummy! This was my first attempt at Whoopie Pies-easy to make with the help of a eager chef in training and easy to bribe someone potty training.
