I'm a Slacker ... So Sue Me

Okay, okay. I'll admit I no longer have the right to EVER ask anyone to put up a new post again. I'm seriously lacking the motivation for blogging lately. I'll not waste time on trying to update the last two months; sufficeth to say we are all still alive. The girls have come down with strep and have been "homebound" this week. From what I've heard, babies under 2 yrs. or 12 months (depending on who you talk to) can't get it, but my Little Man had a fever yesterday and has spent all of today throwing up everything I've tried to feed him. Can't get a good look in his throat, obviously, so who knows.

The Christmas countdown is on, and Miss Priss reminds me each day how many days are left. She's like my own personal talking to-do list that lets me know every day that I'm not ready. Gone are the days where I was completely done Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving weekend. I'm now one of those crazy ladies who spends Christmas Eve running to the last few stores still open at 9pm trying to figure out what the heck I'm going to put in these stockings.

But the best part of our week HAD to be the snowstorm. It was so exciting for us, since we had been cooped up for days. Not to mention that we live in the desert and that snow is just about unheard of for us. What's that, you say? You heard nothing of it on the news? Hmmm. I'm not sure why; it was quite an event here.

It started out as just a little flury ...

And then it really started coming down ...

The girls got to make snow angels ...









And Mini Man just had to get in on the action ...


It was so beautiful and amazing!!! And now we have no need to be jealous of all our family that has had snow for weeks now. I got my "snow fix" ... sans all the scarves, hats, coats, mittens and boots. Just the way I like it.

Thanks, Grandpa and Grandma Darlin', for sending down our very own early White Christmas (and for the presents, too!!!). Our snow day was something desperately needed in this house full of sickies.
