What do you do when you are iced in?

Have fun! I was so saddened when I was on facebook tonight and all these people were saying, "Why do I have to have my kids all day tomorrow?" I have my kids almost all the time and love it that way! Now granted, I enjoy taking them outside. So it does get hard when we can't even venture outside, but we make the most of our time together and do things we normally don't have time for or don't usually want to make the mess for! Enjoy the pictures of our family time!

What do you do....

In Kentucky, when you are renters in the military, without a show shovel and you get hit by an ice storm? Please scan the photos below to find your answer! I am sure the nieghbors had many a laugh at our expense! I turned our outside broom upside down and used the handle to break up chunks of ice. The girls were slipping and sliding everywhere and looking very adorable! I fell once and it was not so adorable. LOL! Luckily, we are all safe and sound and HOME with homemade bread hot and ready. Plus, it only took 45 minutes to get our van up the drive! Gotta love Kentucky!

Snow/Ice/Will we make it up the drive????

Growing Up

We were returning that awful thermometer and a man with 1 and a half arms came up behind us. Wow. Our oldest was full of questions about that. "Is that funny?" "Hpw does he push a cart?" "how does he eat?" "What if both were missing?" "How does he hold hands?" . It was a great learning experience to discuss it with her. Thankfully far away from him!
My husband is praying for tons of snow tonight so that he can forgo his 12 mile ruck march in the morning! I hope it comes true.

What did I see????

Well, if you must know.... I walked around the corner and into our kitchen and found my husband DRINKING RIGHT OUT OF THE CARTON of orange juice!!! You know, I figured being married for almost 8 years and all that no longer happened, but I caught him in the act today!!
Then I caught him doing this during the basketball game. Photo #4
And this during cheerleading. Photo #3
Now actually, he really did pay full attention and cheered for them both AND complimented them and said how proud he was. But I do have to tease him a little!
We had a great day watching the girls! The basketball player is great at defense!!! She steals the ball and runs with it. The youngest just stands there looking scared to death but amazingly cute at the same time!

Sign of the Times

Today the girls were playing with their pretend cell phones and the oldest said, "Hey, I have two websites on my phone. Wanna play?" The youngest said, "Oh yes" (and at the same time pulls out a little pretend pencil and acts like she is using a palm pilot. She starts tapping the "Screen" with the pencil) Then the oldest said, "Our connection must not be real good because this page is taking forever to load."

Just remember... evidently, Kids are always listening!!! LOL!

Liberty Tax

Today the girls and I were driving when we saw the Liberty Tax people. The youngest says, "I think those people always dress that way because they don't have any other clothes and they need someone to take them shopping at a store." HA!
Another great thing is that they are both feeling better! They both fell asleep driving around today but ate normal meals. I think they will be ready for their game on Saturday!
