Let it Snow!

Here are some pictures of our neighborhood.
The kids have had a blast in the snow.



Some of the kids comments ...
Callie.."It's a miracle"
Andrew.."I want to go play in it" (this being about 11p.m.)
Brandon .. "I need water to build a snowman"(?)
Kids..."It's cold outside"



Being so cold outside it is great weather for soup!
I used my soup making skills (lol) and tried my hand at
French Onion Soup!
It turned out very tasty!
Next time we will brown the onions more
and hopefully we will have the right types of cheese.
But no complaints from the kids (surprising)
I will definitely make this again.

we are digging out of the snow. it is easily a full 12 inches deep if not more. It continues to snow and the wind is picking up. We had to have our neighbors come over with their big tractor to dig us out!

I cannot believe that much snow in your area. I have been up there in a snow storm but it is usually gone the next day. I love the trees and country up there when it does snow and then gets cold. The trees are so beautiful. Yes Monica is right, I think we got your storm last night and got dumped on. At seven a.m. the police came to our door because the paper deliver and ran into our mail and paper box. It was no big deal but they took the mailbox off so they could get out. Fred got it back up just as the family came down to put it back together for us.

So you might be right about your soup. You definitely need more onions. lol. You should let Brandon build a snowman with water. You never know his skill in life might be ice sculpturing. I sure miss you this Christmas. I wish you were here or we were there. The weather is the same so give or take either way. My guess is the passes are nasty. We better just stay put and talk on the phone for hours at a time.

I can't believe we have had this much for this long. I tried to drive in it yesterday, but the streets were full of about twelve inches of slushy snow and the car kept getting stuck.
I think it is finally melting so I may be able to leave the house today.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann

I have finished Callies pajama bottom's. Yea! I have also made Andrews bottoms complete with pockets. And now I only have 6 1/2 pairs to go. How cute are these? I found the Christmas tissue paper at the dollar tree and then took one roll of toilet paper wrapped it up with the tissue paper added the cute little sayings and ta da! You have a cute gag gift. We are using these for our cast party tonight. They are having a white elephant gift exchange and I thought these would be fun. I also bought hangers from the dollar tree and I am going to download these days of the week tags and package them together for another gift. What are some other gift ideas? I need four more presents. Merry Christmas! I wanted to get you something different, Something special for this year... It is always such a challenge to buy for those that you hold dear. But when you see this special gift, I know that you will sigh... It’s a special tissue just for you, To pat your booty dry! Just Thinking of You! I w
