Snow City

Burr I don't even want to go outside today because it's 19 degrees right now. Poor kids had to go to school,  no snow days here. He even switched to a normal sized back pack so he can bring his snow suit to school for recess time. Danielle has driven to school and back home which is a little nerve racking but she's doing good and the practice is good for her. Unlike all the people in Seattle, she will be prepared if the weather takes a turn for the worst when she gets older. Since it's Lincoln's first real sticking snow, I threw him in his snow suit and plopped him next to Dylan to make the first snow angels of the season. As soon as pictures were done we were back inside, too too cold. His little nose got red in a minute of time so I think we'll spend the rest of the day inside by the fire. Tomorrow I do have to hit the grocery store and I am going to try the hard core couponing that I've read about on other blogs, mainly thekrazycouponlady.com I'll bring back the results tomorrow.
Who knew snow angels came so naturally that even a baby could do it?

It doesn't look like Lincoln moved while he was laying there :)

Too Cute

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
