A day at the beach in March?!

We live about 2 minutes away from Lake Harbor park and NEVER go! Well, yesterday we decided to get out of the house, so we headed over to the park. It was beautiful...cold, but still great! Here are a few pics. The kids had a wonderful time! Check out the picture of ice on the rocks! It's too bad that we live in such a beautiful area and don't enjoy it as much as we should, but we are going to try and do these things more often!

I'm BACK!!!

Nope! I haven't given up on blogging forever! There was a good reason that I haven't touched this blog in the last 1 1/2 years. I just needed some time to reflect! Ha!
I'm glad that I didn't cancel my blog completely because I do want to keep up with it. However, like everything else in my life, I try to do everything and then do a crappy job at it vs. doing a few things and doing those things well. Such is my personality I suppose!
I've added a great pic of my kids I took one morning before work. They were snuggling on the couch before we headed off to daycare. I promise I'll be back again before 2012!

Snow Day!

I should be so happy that today is a snow day. Usually, the call at 5am makes me so excited!! Today I was bummed out when I got the call. It almost feels like a waste of a snow day. I mean, we're going to have 2 weeks off anyways. Why couldn't this have happened in the middle of January? I was also bummed because today is always such a fun day at school--parties, holiday sing-a-long, etc. Oh well....nothing I can do about it now! I am enjoying my little ones as much as possible and who knows...maybe I'll get some wrapping or something productive accomplished today?!

Quiet Time

Do you ever feel like the world is moving so incredibly fast that you can't possibly keep up with it? Well, that's how I've been feeling ever since I went back to work. Seriously...I wake up at 6am and don't stop moving until 10:30pm!! Life is so crazy...
That's why I'm so happy for this moment I am having right now. 2 kids in bed and 1 husband at a Christmas party. I'm sipping my glass of wine,contemplating a bowl of ice cream, and wasting away the night on the internet. I know I should go to bed, but I'm so happy to have this time to myself!!

Helpful husband

I'm so glad Brent is now home from deer camp and ready to help out around the house!

Take note of the festive deer pjs.

Spaghetti Dinner!!

Do you think he needs a bath or what?
