Family Fun – Best Shot Monday

Posted on by

What a perfect end to a great weekend…that’s right another early morning phone call, though my darling husband thought it would be hilarious not to tell me for about 15 minutes after I continued getting ready post-shower.  It worked out very well as Garth’s family had stayed last night after coming to watch C.’s baby dedication.  We indulged in a great breakfast, a few more snuggles from Little Man and then they were on their way northward.

Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the family fun yesterday…

That’s the magic number.  At least it has been for two Tuesdays in a row.  Granted on Wednesday it was 5:27 and Friday, right around 5:43.  Any way you look at it, it means we’ve had yet another snow rain freezing fog we’re-really-not-sure-but-we’ll-take-it day.

And by the looks of the forecast (winter storm warning with 6-9 inches of accumulation possible on top of the 3 hours of wintry mix that’s expected to pelt the area first) we could be in store for yet another day tomorrow.  No, I’m not bragging or anything like that.  In fact, I’m a little shocked and unsure as we’ve never had so many days jam-packed into one little timeframe before.

Luckily, today was both relaxing and productive.  We’re about to send little guy to bed, at which point I hope to finish grading some papers I’ve had for awhile now, which means tomorrow we’ll be able to attack the house and make it spotless.  Ahem, that is, if we have another unexpected day off.  In the event that we do return to work (which wouldn’t be a bad thing) we’ll strive for cleanliness yet another day.

To wrap things up, I couldn’t help but share a couple pics that were melt-my-heart adorable today.

Let it Snow!

I recall joking with my husband that I could really use a weekend to rest after returning from the whirlwind of excitment in Colorado.  Little did I know that my joking would become a reality.  For the past two days we’ve had the pleasure of hearing the sweetest sound known to teachers…the ring of the telephone in the wee hours of the morning!

That’s right!  We’ve had two snow days in a row!  Granted, they’re actually more like crappy-back-roads and really-windy-and-icy days, but you get the point.  We’ve done lots of resting, cuddling, and tonight we even got a little “crafty” in the kitchen and whipped up a batch of pasties to have for dinner on Friday night when my folks come over.

We also got to spend some down time with Grandma E. as she came over last night just in case we needed a babysitter today.  And she’ll be back again to watch C. on Friday too – what would we do without her?!

Off to grab some dinner and get Little Man bathed and in bed.
