SNOW DAY!!!!!!

Well, only 3 inches. But hey, it's better than nothing. And, we got a snow day out of it! What was supposed to be a full week of school turned into a very short one! We were supposed to have school on Monday (President's Day), but the week before, there were so many kids out sick that they decided to close on Monday and disinfect the whole school! Then, the snow on Friday caused another closure! The kids enjoyed the snow, even though there was not that much - and I enjoyed staying in all day, since I was sick.

Too long since I posted....again.....

I have been so bad about updating my blog! Things have been busy as usual. Shouldn't that be normal now? I spend WAY too much time volunteering at the boys school. Way too much time. But, it is something that I love, and right now, I am able to do it. With tuition and everything else costing more and more, who knows how long that will last, so I might as well enjoy it while I can!

So much has been going on the last few weeks:

1. We bought a new (well, new to us) van. Our good old "Silver Bullet" was starting to nickle and dime us to death. It had almost 100,000 miles on it, and was starting to need lots of work. So, we bought a 2007 "pre-owned" (don't ya love that "pre-owned"-call it what it is USED!) Chrysler Town and Country Touring Edition. I LOVE the Stow and Go Seating and the Sirius Radio. The boys love the DVD player - even though they have not used it yet!

2. We added a new member of the family. On January 16, we got Max. Max was (yes, WAS) a cute "Winter White" hamster. Max died 1 week after we got him. We were very upset. So, what else is there to do but put the body in a bag and cash in on the 14 day guarantee. Yup, ya gotta take the body back to the store. So, off the PetSmart we went. We came home with Sam. Sam is a "Blueberry Dwarf" hamster. He is so much fun! We are all really enjoying him (Grandmom and I are enjoying him the most, believe it or not!). I will post a pic very soon!

3. The kids got their report cards - both did excellent! I was very proud of them! We are looking forward to Easter break in March - 11 days off - WOOHOO!!! We are going to go to the Franklin Institute to see the Star Wars exhibit. We can't wait for that!

4. I am still obsessivly planning our Disney trip - only 240 days to go! I know I am driving Doug and Wayne crazy, but I am really looking forward to going! We are really going to try and surprise the boys - really surprise them. Wake them up in the morning and say "come on, we are going to the airport and going to Disney NOW" type of surprise! We'll see if it happens!

So, that's our life in a nutshell for right now. I will post some pictures of the new wheels and the new hamster very, very soon!
