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...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
