Car Show

Looks like Bob had a fun time at the Car Show!

Fun Blizzard!!

We had fun today in the snow!

We were not dug out in time for church!  We got our driveway done, but our road took forever to get plowed!!  Guess we are low man when the 'real' roads need to be plowed!!

 

Blizzard is here!

And not a blizzard from Dairy Queen!  Not many pictures to post from today... I got out of bed around 7am and took a little time to myself before everyone got up... Around 9:30 I headed outside and snow-blowed and shoveled our driveway, sidewalks, and our neighbor's driveway.  I came in around 2:30 to eat lunch, Bob had made grilled cheese and cream of mushroom soup.  I whipped up a batch of MeMom's raisin breads and dried my clothes.  Around 4pm I went back out and felt like I was starting over!  The drifts were a killer!  I finished up and came in around 7pm.  We had chili for supper thanks to Bob!

As for the kiddos... RJ went out super early but only lasted a short time... then they went out a couple more times, but each time they really only lasted 20-30 minutes!  They complained it was too cold and too deep!  I agree, the wind made it really cold!!  And it was deep too :)  Especially where the drifts were!

Hopefully tomorrow we play more when the wind has died down a bit!

Day off together

The kiddos and I enjoyed an extra day off together!  Enjoyed playing Uno, playing outside, and enjoying warm grilled cheese for lunch.

Busy Sunday

Today was another busy cleaning day! For some reason I woke up early again...

Today's to-do list:
-3 washes
- Worked a ton in the basement... (Morgan did help a little bit...)

 (tubs all labeled by age and winter or summer)

I added a second shelf near the bottom of the steps, one for food and one for appliances that are used often, but not every day so don't need to be upstairs in the kitchen

- Cleaned up kitchen
- Worked in my closet again
- Thoroughly cleaned all bathrooms
- Vacuumed
- Cleaned family room of remaining Christmas gifts
- Cleaned kitchen counters

While I was working hard this is what I had for help...

 RJ = Eating

 Morgan = Playing on iPad

 Bob = cutting hair

 Oreo = caged for throwing up

 Momma= working hard vacuuming

Momma = working hard cleaning bathrooms

- Cleaned out and organized deep freezer in basement
- Took car to auto shop to make sure nothing was wrong with oil levels
- Super with Bob's parents... oh and for an hour I was on the phone with yet another Verizon person trying to get the internet up and running... FINALLY it is working!!  (Now fingers crossed that it stays on and working!)

I am sure I missed something or other, but you get the point :)

Spontaneous Bowling!

Today was  a long day for me!  I woke up around 6am because I am so used to waking up early!! Just couldn't get back to sleep. Ugh... fiddled around for an hour or so while enjoyed some quiet time with my coffee and laptop, then worked all.day.long doing the following:
- laundry (5 loads)
- cleaning RJ's closet floor (oiy vey!)
- taking out clothes from RJ's closet that don't fit him anymore
- taking out clothes from Morgan's closet that don't fit her anymore
(holy cow their closets were packed with clothes!!)
- worked in my closet trying to find more clothes to give away and organize the floor of my closet (as it was getting a little messy.. not quite done yet...)
- putting clothes away that were drying... all week in my closet... but had to put them away to make room for the new wet clothes!
- organized my clothe buckets by winter girls/winter boys/summer girls/summer spring so I can find what I am looking for more quickly (or so I hope) as I am still working on getting buckets organized so I am prepared for the next Mommy's Market!!
- dishwasher on, dishwasher emptied
- dishes done from Bob (kindly making) breakfast and dishes done from Bob (kindly making) lunch
- cleaned up family room
- walked Morgan up the hill for a requested play date
- dealt with a VERY upset RJ (I tried two different friends but no one was available, I tried, I really did!)

I think that is all I got done... with more to do tomorrow too... (sigh... never ends!)

- Around 4:30 we all got ready for church and off we went...
- After church we ran over to BJs to pick up just a few things, specifically water (for Bob) and laundry detergent (for me) because I was completely out!
- From BJs we went over to Target... it was the last day of the sale for Dunkin Donut coffee... buy 3 boxes get a $5.00 gift card AND I had a coupon for $1.50 off so in essence double dipping... also bought Felicity her bday gifts.  Check that off the list!
- Next stop Red Robin for supper.  Even at 7pm we waited about 20 minutes!
- On our way to get Dairy Queen Daddy says, wanna go bowling?  Sure... off to bowling we go!
- Spur of the moment fun for all!
- Finally around 10:30 to bed we go!

 Daddy bowling in the background!

Wrestling, anyone?

Gotta love Friday night wrestling!

Morgan wanted to take some silly pictures of us since we both wore stripes today!
