Grassy-Ass and the Blogging Hiatus

Just thought I would let you know. I am going to be taking a break for a little while. Hope you all have enjoyed sharing a glimpse into our lives. I will leave you with one final story.
The kids are apparently learning Spanish. This is completely unintentional on my part (very much intentional by PBS). Anyways, we were eating lunch the other day and I gave L.J. his sandwich and he looked at me and said, "Grassy-ass, Mommy". "What did you just say?!?" I exclaim! "Grassy-ass, Mommy!" "Honey who taught you that?" b/c right now I am starting to panic that some crude creature has been using inappropriate language around my 3 yr old. and it will take me forever to undo the damage. At this point my mother, seeing the panic on my face, chimes in and lets me in on the joke and says to L.J., "Gracias L.J., good job using your manners!" Now I know she is dying laughing on the inside, but she manages to keep her composure. I think I'm going to be cute, so I say "de nada" [thank you in Spanish for those of you not up on your PBS] to which both children look up from their plates to ask me, "Where's Daddy?!?" GEEZ!!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

I have to admit that the BIG 3-0, wasn't really that big. In the weeks prior,I had the flu, then John had it, Cissy was sick for weeks ... so it just kinda got lost in the shuffle. I always imagined that I would have this huge thing when I turned 30, but turns out, it was just another birthday. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sad or upset, it was just different than I had expected. My 21st b-day was very similar ... I went to Charleston with my Mom. Which again, was great, fantastic actually, but not at all what I would have expected. So now I'm 30 and to tell you the truth, it doesn't feel much different from 29, or 28 for that matter. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it special.

So we've made the snowman, had the snowball fight, and stomped all through our yard and the neighbors ... had to bring the kids back in before they froze. So my question is, its only 9:30 am what do we do for the rest of the day?

What You Do for One ...

... you must do for the other. So here is Cissy in the snow, in her pajamas already ;)

It Finally Started to Snow

L.J. had been waiting all day for it to snow, and it finally did (right before bedtime, of course). But I let him go out in it for just a minute.
