Survival

Well we survived the blizzard and finally got the kids back to school after adding an entire week off to their Christmas break.  Yikes.  That was a lot of snow days to be stuck inside with hubby out plowing, 3 antsy boys, and 1 very ornery puppy.  But we survived!  with board games, card games, puzzles, the Wii, movies and popcorn, and some very brief attempts to play in the snow...but seriously...it was just too cold!!  Things have leveled out a bit and we're back to a more normal winter feel.  still cold. still windy. have I mentioned I'm ready for spring?! if you're stuck inside and the windows are being buried in snow there is nothing better than a dinner of hot soup.   and when you're stuck inside and your garage doors are blocked by snow drifts you may as well eat waffles and bacon.....every morning....for a week.   dunkin date with this guy once the older two went back to school. so handsome and ready for the cold oh buckeye.  I've not yet

The holidays have come and gone.  so quickly like they always do.  The boys went back to school yesterday and now are off again today because of this crazy blizzard on the east coast.  Yikes!  I'm ready for spring!!  I'm pretty sure I say that every single year on the week after New Year's.  The holiday
