No More Excuses

It has been a long time...

This poor blog has been neglected...

I could come up with many excuses...


1. It's summer, and I'm a teacher...therefore I am NOT working right now! (HA! Any mother knows that's really not true...but oh well!)



2. I have too much fun looking at everyone else's blogs! (Bower Power, Thrifty Decor Chick, YHL, G&D...the list goes on...and on)




3. I am working on my tan. (with a toddler?? Yeah...right)



4. I am dying of heat exhaustion in this lovely Indiana heat wave! (Hello 115 degrees...you are NOT my friend. I broke into a sweat at 7:00 am just taking out the trash!)



But this madness has to stop! I have tons of ideas, lots of projects, and I need a place to organize all my thoughts. So that's it, I'm giving it another go and you all better hang in there with me!






Ready....






Set...






GO!!!

Snowpocalypse 2011

You heard it here first folks, we are currently in the midst of the most "epic, snowstorm/ice storm of the century!" Yes, I just made that up...but if you were home and watching any television news program, you would believe it too! Luckily for us, this ice storm is closing school and we found out at 3:00 pm that we would be cancelled tomorrow too! Nothing better than having a couple of extra days to get things done around here that don't normally happen! I have made tomorrow's mission planning a certain someone's 1st Birthday party! I have soo many ideas, I'm having trouble deciding on one. Here are some of my ideas...

Pirates (not the ugly, dirty, kind...the cute, appropriate for a 1 year old kind:)
Baseball (he IS a boy...and it just seems like a fun time!)
Dr. Seuss (I know it's ME who has the obsession with all things Dr. Seuss...but it's so darn cute!)

Can I get some help here? Let me know what you think? Are you snowed...err...iced in too? Anyone else a little obsessed with planning parties?

SNOW DAY 2011

We have been getting a lot of snow here lately, and although I usually despise the white stuff...it was much appreciated today! The 5-6 inches, plus blowing wind caused some nice drifts and made for very slick roads! Which leads me to the best part...SCHOOL CLOSED!

Being a teacher really DOES have some nice perks!

I can't help but get absolutely giddy when I receive that phone call telling me that I get to sleep in and don't have to get out and about in that yucky white stuff! But what makes matters even sweeter are this little guy...

I decided to bundle him up in 2 onesies, 2 pairs of socks, sweatpants, bunting outfit, and hat. He wasn't quite sure what to think being all bundled up. Or what in the world mommy was doing with a laundry basket and blanket? Desperate times call for desperate measures! SOO CAUUTTE! I was afraid he might panic so we started off gradually. He started looking curious, so I just plopped him in!

And he LOVED it! He wasn't out there long but long enough for the neighbors to see and probably start wondering what in the world that crazy lady was doing putting a baby in the snow, but it was enough to make for some great memories!
We weren't outside long at all, but after we came in and I got him changed out of his snow clothes, he went straight to the back door and stared out at the snow. :) I'll take that as he had a great time!
