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.

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!

She was running a little fever last night, she seems alot better this morning though and is ready to go play in the SNOW, yep it snowed again!! And guess what??? I drove in it LOL I had to bring Lee his SWIMMING stuff to school. First time I ever brought someone swim trunks in the snow LOL But it isnt nearly as bad as lst time, we just got maybe an inch or so over night. I can see the grass still poking out of the snow. Mich is on his way back to Buffalo for the week ;( he said he was running into some heavy areas but still not as bad as last time, he is on the road driving and not in a ditch...waiting... ;)
They say its gonna snow all day and night so tomorrow will be a differant story im sure. I had to call in today to stay home with Abby and Im off tomorrow I dont have to work until Wed night. So hoepfully it will be all cleared up before then, and hopefully we will have our trucks ready before the next snow ;)
Abby is playing with her Playdoh now so I guess I will get some cleaning done.
It wont let me post pix today for some reason so i will try later
I will gwt some new snow pics later today.

Three more days....

Untill my moms heads back to Sunny FL...although today after talking to my brother it is actually warmer HERE than THERE! It got up to 71 today here and in FL the high was 65 LOL go figure! But I am hearing it will possible snow this weekend again.......I am REALLY hoping that it hold off utill Sunday at least so that I can drive to Pittsburg without snow when I take my mom to the airport. SO since she only has a few days left, we went sight seeing, if you could call it that, we went to Lake Erie and drove around town, we tried to hunt down some Amish settlements but I couldnt find them lol
Mich is in Buffalo, after driving half way down to Virginia Monday they call him and tell him to come back and go to Buffalo..at least it will be a shorter ride home tomorrow...(hopefully tomorrow) Lee is still sick although he feels much better now.
I think hell go back to school tomorrow.
I miss my Michypoo.....;o(
ANYWAY some pics of the Lake....

Ewwwweyyyyy

Lee is sick. Had to pick him up from school Friday, he missed his halloween party. He was feeling better that night so we let him go do the trick or treat thing. TOday he has been in bed all day. I am trying to keep Abby away from him so she doesnt get sick.
Mich leaves for Virginia for work in the morning ;o( He will be gone until at least Thursday.
SO yeah this week got started all kinds of wrong, but hey that's life right?

Oh and one more thing, No pix of trick or treating cuz I forgot my camera and the kids were crashed when we got home, so maybe one day ill dress they back up and take pix LOL ;o)

SInce I have no Halloween pix.....how bout some silly ones....they are old ones but owell......

I did it...GO ME!

So, since I missed work yesterday, I figured I had better get my butt to work today. SO I went out there this morning and shoveled and scraped and all the fun stuff, but my car was pretty much NOT moving ANYWHERE LOL I came in and then decided to try ONE MORE TIME, and I got it. Funny how you can actually sweat in the snow LOL!!!!! Now the snow is all melting, its muddy and yucky outside. It will be really fun tromping through all that mess tomorrow night for Trick or Treating!! They are saying no snow for a while now, maybe next weekend......
Lee is going to be JASON from Friday the 13th & Abby will be Cinderella for Halloween, we are going with the Family trick or treating after I get off work tomorrow. Lee gets to dress up at school and they are having a party, he is excited because they never got to dress up at school in FL.
The picture is of one of my blue berry bushes, I think its prety kewl because it turned red and looks pretty with the snow on it......

What a fun day!!

Lee, Abby & I have been playing out in the snow all day. It hasnt snowed in a couple hours and things are starting to melt, BIG chunks of snow are falling from the trees & the house & barns. Lee is building an Igloo with the igloo block molds Missy got the kids for their Bdays. Grandma Chris bought lee a sled for his Bday. He is trying to find a place to sled but no where here is good, well have to go to someones house to use it. The tress look REALLY kewl and it is even prettier now that the sun has come up, even though its melting all our snow LOL I think it is supossed to snow again today though...we'll see! Mich made it to work, Im not sure I will though I can't even find thesnow shovel to get my truck out.....not that ive looked much, Hey a FLorida girls first day EVER of snow, is a good work excuse if ive ever heard one ;o)....
oh yeah the cows look pretty cold too!
