Finally...

It's late on New Year's Eve and the rest of the family is walking through the large beautiful flakes of newly fallen snow. It's a gorgeous night here.

First Snowman of the Winter of 2011


The first snowman of the year has been born!
We have about 2 inches on the ground in about 5 hours.

I love shoveling the snow while it is snowing.
It is quiet and everything is white.

Beautiful night to be outside.

It's December

I am looking outside and there is a little snow and I am glad we don't have feet of snow on the ground. It has been a nice gradual move into winter and I appreciate that. We are supposed to get more snow today but probably only an inch or two.

I sing in a church choir and last night was our Lessons and Carols service. I was nervous because I had a little line to sing by myself. The concert was good. I wish that I could hear it for myself because as the singer you know the parts that were missed. I had decided not to talk about the negative parts and just focus on the positive. It is always a nice way to start the Advent season.

Lots to do in December and as a single parent for most of this month, I will be relying on friends, grandparents, and surrogate grandparents to get me and the kids through. I know even by ourselves we would be fine but with help we all get through with flying colors.

A little snow finally.

Blog-Anniversary

It is hard to believe that another year has passed. In November 2007, we were parents of a 3 year old, waiting for our next baby to come in January of 2008. Now we have a 7 and an almost 4 year old. Our lives include first grade and potty training.

In other news, I just found another new blog. Aiming Low has some pretty fun stuff on it.

We are expecting a little snow today after not having any precip for a long time. We'll see if it materializes. I have my doubts.

Quote of the Day

Mom. I don't want to wear an eye patch, because then I would be eyepatched. And one of my eyes would be dark.
All said very earnestly as we laid in his bed at 10pm.

I have a crafty daughter

Thank Goodness It's Friday

It is officially Friday as I begin this entry.
Laundry is folded around me, dishes are soaking, and I am hoping I actually get 6 hours of sleep tonight without a small person interrupting my night.

Tonight I watched some really good performances on 'The Sing Off'. It is hard to watch some of them because they are just off but when it is good - it is really nice!
I also watched the finale of 'Top Shot' this week. Another fun show that could do without all the drama. It is weird to watch drama between a bunch of guys that mostly have military backgrounds or are exuding machismo in some way.

My husband actually said something about purchasing a tv. Then I couldn't believe that I actually jumped on it and said 'yes'! It would be so nice to sit in my comfy chair watching a screen that is bigger than 14 inches.  Now I need to work on a couch...

Hope you are looking forward to the weekend. I am!
