The cozyness of home!

We are getting more snow tonight.
The girls and I are all excited.
Because we can be happy about snow.
We are weird like that!

So, in honor of the newest snowfall,
I am already in my jammies and cuddled up
in my warm, soft and fuzzy pink bathrobe.
I know it is only 5:30pm.
What is wrong with that?

The girls are having breakfast for super.
It is leftover night so everyone pretty much
gets their own dinner.
They decided against lasagna and went for french toast sticks
and Abby added pop tarts.
What?!

I guess I must be a cool mom (or a really bad one) because
I just don't care!
I am simply shocked that they did not want
the lasagna. I have to say that next to my Aunt Phyllis,
I can make a mean lasagna.

I feel accomplished tonight.
I was able to get gifts wrapped today
AND
our Christmas cards will go in the mail tomorrow.

I got 10 cakes done at work and got home
before the snow started.
We are home for the rest of the night.

BLISS!

I need to get started on my next book club book
so that I can relax and enjoy reading it instead
of reading it to get it done.
It is a big one called The Given Day by Dennis Lehane.
I have no idea what it is about.
I just enjoy getting together with some girlfriends to
talk and enjoy each others company!

Enjoy your evening and stay warm :}

Hugs,

Jeanette

Dare to Wear - better late than never!

Mama Belle had a Dare to Wear festivity yesterday.

Of course,
I'm late at getting it all together.

Mama Belle I am far from a fashion diva
as you can tell from the pics.

I have a huge aversion of athletic suits.
So, I picked up two.
The first one I'm not sure I'll wear out of the house.
The second I REALLY like.

Now, this last picture I decided to
pick up a pair of leggings and a tunic.
I haven't worn leggings for about 10 years.
I told you I don't have much fashion sense!!
Abby decided this was absolutely the
funnest thing she has seen in awhile.

No snickers, PLEASE!!
My legs may hear and feel embarrassed.
They aren't the same as they were 10 years ago.


I heard snickers AND laughter!
No worries - I won't be wearing this outfit
out of the house. It will strictly be a lounging outfit.

The girls will have a ball laughing each and every
time I wear them. But hey, who cares!

So, there you have it.
Oh, by the way, my kids had school yesterday!

YIPEE!

Hugs,

Jeanette

Snow Day?

The snow just keeps comin' down.
I just LOVE snow so I don't mind.

So, what do you think?
Are we gonna get the 7-9 inches they are predicting?

The girls are pulling for a snow day tomorrow
but I'm not sure.

EVERYONE needs to go away :}

I need to get the house put back together.
The girls will need to help if they have a snow day.
That will be joyful!
They will just love that....

OR NOT!

Abby and her school pals have been working on a
project since Friday.
It is finally in working order and after some really
long and heavily thinking days we are proud
to say that we have a "hot chocolate making machine"
sitting in the office.
It is one of those domino effect projects for science.
It is supposed to show Newton's law.
They did a really good job and you could hear the
wheels turning as they were thinking over each part.
At least they did not wait until the night before to get it done!

My mind is scattered tonight.
I don't know why.
Must be all the mind boggling football I watched this weekend.

GO BAMA
GO BAMA
GO BAMA....

Still UNDEFEATED :}
They play for SEC Championship on Saturday against Florida.

That said, I'll say good night and

Hugs!
