Winter Blast - January 2011

Man it's cold. I think, in fact, it's only 18 degrees F. A storm blew in this week that is absolutely crazy. Rolling black-outs throughout the metroplex, icy roads and for sure closed schools. Today was day 2 of schools being closed and I think we might just finish the week without any school. With no school, means parents don't go to work either. What a way to start a new school.....only one day in.

We've had lots of good bonding time, but we are all going stir crazy. And that plus the fact that my work is piling up, I am getting a sitter tomorrow to help us out. Phew!

Not quite a snow bunny, but a great shot of the snow in the neighbors yard.

Not our handy work, but some solid work done by a few of our neighbors.

Well this is just the cutest darn thing! We couldn't stay in any longer yesterday and so we took a family trip to the grocery store. After being inside all day, it was the best adventure ever.

And then I got a cleaning bug. I decided it was time to go through Madison's drawers and pull out things that don't fit because the drawers were hardly shutting anymore. Random articles ended up on Madison. Note: socks on her hands as gloves, bloomers on her head as a hat!

Clearly, the bloomer queen is upset here. Could have been the fact that Reese wouldn't move and get off her little couch, but something sure had her ticking. I can see a glimpse of the terrible 2's coming. She's starting the temper tantrum thing. Full out flexing her back stiff so I can't grab her, rolling on the ground, fussing. Wow!

Just a shot of the drawers I was working on.

And lastly, Madison with more randomness on. I sure wish she would keep headbands on more. I couldn't get a good front shot with it on, but boy does she look so cute with them on. And yes, that is Yo Gabba Gabba playing in the background. FYI - we don't encourage watching TV from this angle. :)
