With the 4th being on a Sunday, all the festivities in our little town were on the 3rd. We had a TON of fun! First, the kiddos each got to be in “The Biggest Small Town Parade In America.” Dude and I rode our bikes with his Little League group, and Hubby and Princess rode [...]

So We Went To MN
It’s been almost a month, and I’ve almost thawed out enough to write this post.
We decided to go to MN for part of winter break. The plan . . . wake up on Christmas Day, open Santa gifts, get in the car and drive 14 hours to Grandma’s house. Nothing we haven’t done before, right?
So [...]
Snow, Legos, TVs, and Kitties
Ahhhh - Merry Christmas!!! I get a few minutes to myself . . .
Santa arrived and the kiddos woke us up at 6:00 a.m. to open their Santa gift.

Six Inches
Last Saturday we took our annual trek up into the Pike National Forest to seek out and cut down the perfect Christmas Tree. We do this every year and have a BLAST! We go to the Forest Service office and buy a permit for $10. For my $10, I get a map of the tree [...]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I hope you all had a great Halloween. We had our little blizzardish snow storm Wed-Fri to close schools for a couple days, but it cleaned up nicely and warmed up perfectly just in time for some trick or treating.
This year, we decided to make our costumes. Dude wanted to be Lego Darth Maul, [...]
Easter in the Snow Belt

6 inches of snow and it was still falling fast!
Not a flake to be had on Christmas . . [...]
Unnormal
It’s been “unnormal” around here lately.
My last day of work was the 31st. I was the only one that didn’t cry when I left the office. That was kind of weird. I could care less about the office . . . or the job . . . or the company . . . I will [...]
Adventures With Grandma
I received this in an email this morning and couldn’t resist. Never hurts to spread some holiday cheer
I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I was just a kid. I remember tearing across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: “There is no Santa Claus,” she [...]
Our Very Own Christmas Story
Does anyone else think A Christmas Story is the best Christmas movie on the planet? I LOVE that movie!
For the past month Dude and Princess have both been saying they are going to ask Santa for a Nintendo DS - black for Dude and pink for Princess. I’m good with that.
So we go to Santa’s [...]
Yes . . . Yes I Did Wrap The Pictures On My Walls
Here are a few samples
