WOW from November thru February there wasn't but a day here or there with no snow....
But DANG im ready for summer, This will be my first PA spring....but to tell you the truth im just ready for a nice hot summer....hanging out outside, playing badmitten, horseshoes, having bonfires, throwing the kids outside for longer than half an hour at a time.....LOL and oh im sooo ready for some yard sales!!!! ANd not to mention having some extra money since we wont have thi heating bill......Im telling ya, we went form $75 power bills to $300 power bills PLUS about $200-$400 a month propane bills....

Anyway...today is Thursday...which means my most favorite (non kid) person comes home today!!!!! SO I better get off here and clean the house so he doesnt know I sat on my butt all week and didnt do a thing! LOL Just kidden, around here in winter there is nothing to do but clean...or read....or goof of on the internet....or write about my boring life and make you all read aobut it, when I know darn well all you want is pictures of those littler people! ;)
PeaCe!...

French Toast!

We decided to make French toast last night and Abby HAD to help! Either some day shes gonna get tired of helping me cook or she is the next Rachael Ray because if I'm in the kitchen she HAS to be helping me! Awww I have a future chef! LOL It really wore her out though.....

A TEENAGER?

OH MY GOODNESS! I was just sitting here talking about how Lee will be 12 this year. No biggy right? WRONG Him being 12 this year also means he will be a teenager next year! HOLY CRAP!





I dont even know what to say.......UUGGHH ;)

Abby wanted to share a few pictures with you OK?
Like this one of her princess Crown!
And this one of her art work!
And this one of her crayons!
OK thats it..........
Did you see all of Abbys things????

We had a mother Daughter day yesterday. We went thrift store shopping, and we found Abby a few summer time clothes since she has outgrown all her summer clothes Im sure...not that were gonna see summer anytime soon, but I figure I best be gettin ready! We also went grocery shopping, and then we had lunch at Burger King. When we got home we took some pictures of the stuff we played with and then I got to play on my computer with the pictures to make them look a little "funky"!
Maybe I can get some new pics of Lee tomorrow. :)

Kmart

And oh by the way...I swear i posted pics in that last post , but there aren't there.....Ill get some on tomorrow...BUT I wanted to let you all know...

Kmart which most of you know I despise.... Is having a pretty decent thing going on right now until this Saturday (Jan 24) they are doubling coupons up to and including $2. For example I have a coupon for $2 off Tylenol which would make it $4 off and nearly free for a small bottle of tylenol...if you save your coupons...which i do cuz i always forget to use them, there are ALOT of items you can get almost for free...or very very cheap...Just thought I would let you know...just incase..... ;) The add also says check to see if your store is participating, and I heard that some stores are doing it up to $3!

A Phlebotomist???

I think.....thats what I want to do. I wanna be a Phlebotomist...sounds pretty important huh? LOL Yeah well its not as glamorous as it seems LOL I'd be like a vampire.....like Edward...from Twilight....LMAO ok It is someone who draws blood, runs blood work, test, donations...etc.....

I think I am pretty interested in this. It is a 5 month course. I looked into it and I thought yeah, I could do that, get my foot in the medical feild, as much as Im willing to, But then the bad part came, as any proffesional degree it cost money...lots of money.....so POP.....my idea once again blew up in my face. Seems like I am doomed to forever be just a mommy, DOnt get me wrong, I LOVE staying at home, But it would be nice to have extra income....maybe vacation money to go back home once in a while, money in the bank for those "just in case" moments. ehhhh Maybe just maybe someday I will win the lottery and be able to get a real job LOL ;)

sounded kewl while it lasted anyways.....

I stuck the pics in jsut cuz...;)...if they are repeats..sorry

-3?!?!?!

-3 !!!!!!!!
What is that crap?
Or can we say -21 with the windshield?
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

Thats all.

Me & Abby being goofy ;)

Abby given deuces!

Isn't she just adorable?!?!?!?!

Hey!

My last post is so messed up but My internet connection is sucking right now, I guess its the weather and these 9dreary gray skies :( It is freezing here, High today is like 19! WTH??? Not as bad as friday low of 3 high of 9!!!crazy! Mich says in Buffalo it was -2 this morning! -2???? is that even a number? And what about those Northwestern states I seen one was -21
Anyway I am going to try and put up some pics but I cant make any promises with the crappy connection I have right now..........I'll be back!!

Snowy Day

Abby catching snowflakes on her tongue....
A picture of the house taken from down the hill...never took one from this direction before.
Lee loves snowboarding & sledding, he is pretty good on his snowboard too!!
Abby trekking it back up the hill with her sled, its a BIG hill for an ity bity little girl :) And Mich didnt do too bad either!!!

We decided to get everyone outside and do some sledding and snowboarding in the yard, on the side of our house we have a huge feild with a hill so it works out awesome for ua to go sledding, In the summer I didnt think we would have anywhere to sled, but once the snow started falling and the weeds died lol there was this pretty good sized hill LOLWe had bunches of fun! It is getting pretty cold. I have heard that later this week highs will be in the teens for a few days, one of those days I wouldn't mind being stuck at home with no car!!! I drove in the snow allot the last few days, I went to Edinboro the other day all by myself, well Jenny and the kids where there lol but i drove the whole way and back ;) And I drove to Erie today, Mich is in Buffalo for the week so I actually have a car for a few days :) WoooWHOOOOO

I have been taking lots of pictures lately so i will be back to post some more laterz!
