Last day of school!

It's been one week of summer break and I am wore out and they are
bored! 80 more days til school starts up again! I guess the backyard
pool needs some help. I will put together some "minute to win it" tv
show games next week and see how that goes over. I will surely have
some funny photos and stories to tell.

Ice cream mmmm!

Ice cream!

New years fun!

Wow! I have been in the dark with all this technology! Look out here come major Nothead updates now!

Oh this is so cool! I can send updates via text messages! The laundry will never get done now!!

So, I haven't posted in over a year - I know, I know - how terrible is that!!

Well, the kids are older, we have 2 new dogs and things are about the same.

We are covered in a fresh new coat of "frosting" outside as Em likes to call it. Z is thrilled that he can go sledding with Uncle J. I am too - I don't have to take him! Mom and the cold just don't mix well.

Tanner only goes out when he has to, but Sam (the little one) likes to bark at every snowflake that falls - and for hours if we let him! We tried to put doggie boots on him - that didn't go so well! I returned them! We recently hurried to get the new puppy "fixed" due to the children asking why he humps things! Daddy explained to him that that is kissing for dogs! Great explanation Dad!! They looked at him like "What??" I did the same!

Em wants to be homeschooled cause "I miss you too much mommy!" and according to her "you don't even have to be a teacher to do it!" Well, you do have to be dedicated and have a ton of patience - and a desire to have your youngest home all day with you. Yeah - it's NOT gonna happen!!

I can't seem to keep us with the mounds of laundry that ruin my days. I guess that is better than a full-time job out of the house. I just wish the Laundry Gods would pay me per load!

More soon - I promise I won't take a year break!

Snow up to our Eyeballs!

We have So Much snow here - I feel pretty soon we'll be trapped in like an igloo! The kids are having a blast in it. We had snow slushies last Friday after the 9 inches that fell. It was a snow day too! Pretty impressive to get a snow day in the Midwest. The kids each took a hunk of clean snow and I put on a few drops of slushy syrup flavoring. They ate it and thought it was the coolest thing to have slushies in the winter with the snow that fell!

This just in: 8-12 more inches are due to fall tonight and tomorrow. Looks like I'll be entertaining the children again on Wednesday - snow day I'm sure! This is nuts! Our weather man said that we are on track for 60+ inches of snow this winter and we usually only get 38 inches. Isn't that nice.
