Wordless Wednesday: Freedom!

Wordless Wednesday: Homework Time

Why yes....that's an ice pack on my back.  I'm hot and sweaty. And my baby is waiting patiently for me to play with her once I finish my homework.
 
Oh, and yes it looks like a tornado hit after I get home from school.

Wordless Wednesday: Day Dreaming

Wordless Wednesday: And Then There Were None

Last Spring we had to make the tough decision of cutting down a dying maple tree in our backyard.

Unfortunately we had to cut down our "twin" maples just a few weeks ago. It breaks my heart. Tgry were starting to lean to much towards the house after all of last years rain plus the hurricane in late August.  We could tell they were dying.  These trees were very old and we loved them very much.

My kids cried. Now our small backyard has no shade for them to play in on hot summer days.

I won't miss the "helicopters" flying off in the Spring or all the leaves falling off in Autumn. But nevertheless, I'll miss those trees and mourn them.

Girl Scout Bear

Build A Bear Workshop is helping the Girl Scouts Celebrate their 100th year. They are offering a limited edition bear and Girl Scout uniforms.

My daughter's troop had a special party there to celebrate. This is her bear, Lizzy. The pink sweater is a castoff from another stuffed animal. She claimed Lizzy was cold.Isn't she adorable?!

I love Build A Bear!  The employees are so friendly and great with kids!  We can't wait to go back and pick Lizzy up some cute outfits.

Refreshing and Easy Breakfast

This is what I've been eating for breakfast almost every morning for the last few weeks.  It's quick, easy, nutritious and delicious.

Just layer yogurt (vanilla is my choice), cut up strawberries and granola. Can't get much simpler than that.  Enjoy!

Finally Some Snow!

 

 

Snow!!!

 

 

We've barely had any snow since #snowtober and I can say I'm very happy about that.  The weather gurus have been going back and forth on how much snow/rain this system would drop here.  At last check we have about 3 inches.  It's suppose to change to over to sleet and freezing rain just in time for the evening commute.  Hoping the hubby can make it home from work.  His commute is usually an hour.

Most of the school around us either closed or announced early dismissal before 9 a.m.  Our school district waited until almost 10.  My kids were not realeased from school until noon when the snow was falling rapidly and the roads were not plowed or salted.  The roads by the school were slick and messy at pick up.  I'm so glad my kids are not bussers. They are home safe and sound and enjoying all the snow out back now that lunch and homework are done.  Oh to be a kid again!

Sweet Dreams (Wordless Wednesday)

Little Bee went to bed tonight with a sore tummy. Glad she was able to finally fall asleep. Hoping she has sweet dreams and feels better in the morning. 

Love my (not so) baby girl.

Oh Christmas Tree

Getting ready to deck the halls.  Christmas tree is up...artificial since real ones make me break out in hives (yikes!).  I still have to decorate the rest of the living room, entry way and staircase.  I love this time of year!

Brotherly Love

If you look closely you can see that every other piggy toe is painted light pink. The others are obviously red.

Who painted my daughters nails you may be asking yourself.  This time it wasn't momma.  She was baking and Little Bee was impatiently waiting. So, Goalieboy offered and the rest is history!

Such a sweet, un-boylike thing to do.  It makes my heart melt.

Don't you just love when your children are kind and giving time one another? 

Fall Beauty

Wordless Wednesday ~ October 26, 2011 The Morning Grumps

This picture sums up the general feeling in our house first thing this morning. 

Good news is that we've conquered it and now we're full of happiness, smiles and laughter.  Let's hope it stays that way!

Just Because-Wordless Wednesday

From my husband....just because.

Wordless Wednesday: Beach Day

Nature's Amazing Beauty ~Wordless Wednesday~

The perfect day to hike around a beautiful lake and breath in Mother Nature's beauty.

Goalie Mom *Wordless Wednesday*

Being a goalie mom is hard work.  The hockey goalie position is probably the most expensive position in all of sports.  It may also be the smelliest.



Gotta air it out somehow. All the sweaty stench is ripe and he's only 9! Heaven helps me when he's a teenager! It might just kill me then.
