Think Spring

I normally don't even start to think about spring until I am pushing slush in the sunshine at the bottom of one of my favorite runs at Killington...but the Phila. Flower Show has a way of getting you in the mood...

Procrastination

I am off topic...should be working on my grad paper but instead I am playing around with my blog background. Easier to do than I thought, but definitely a way of procrastinating this dreaded report I have to put together. Thankfully Owen is now in love with Barney and Sesame Street and Joey had a Laser Tag party this evening so I did get some work done. Just gonna post a couple of pics and get back to work.

Valentine's Day Mugs (Sorry Mom and Dad, Mary and Joe...I am terribly late with valentines...)

Can't I get ONE good shot?!?!?!?

This is why I go to Picture People.

Digging Out

Spent yesterday digging out...playing in the snow and goofing around.

Joey and I have been having a blast in the snow...Joe found us both on top of the truck throwing snowballs at the house,as long as the sunroof still opens we won't be in too much trouble.

Owen...our own little Calvin, always into mischief. He learned it is not too much fun when mom has to wash syrup out of his hair.

Great to spend some time catching up with Alex while the boys and Harvey played outside.

No School!

An amazing amount of snow today. I kept thinking of my brother throughout the day...how we used to play for hours out in the snow. So glad Joey has his friend from down the street to play with. Owen much rather be inside with Daddy reading books and making messes. Joey and I spent hours outside today...but it's fun for him to have a friend...so not cool to be building snow forts with your mom. So I watched the two boys play...shoveled the drive way three different times(although looking out the window you would never know it) and missed my brother today. Definitely Vermont/Canada snow...wish I was closer..we would have had fun.

Snow Day!!!

We love a snow day!!!! Joey and I spent hours out in the snow (Owen lasted about 20 minutes). We went sledding down the hill at the end of our street, Joey stayed to play at a friends house while I returned to shovel the driveway. Had about an hour to work on one of my grad papers as Owen fell asleep on the couch watching Sesame Street (so much like Uncle Chris).

Time out number three

Here is stinker...sad, sad, monkey because mom and dad won't let him throw scissors in the toilet, climb the bookshelf, run out in the snow in his socks, hit his brother, pull all the toys off the shelf, toss his brother's Pokemon cards across the room, or fling his spoonful of cheerios. Right now he is shouting "Mama Nice" from his time out spot. Two minutes goes by quick...will have to post fun-snowday pictures later.
