Snow Day 2014 #2!!!

We got snow twice in a two week period!  That doesn't ever happen in our area!  Or at least it hasn't in many, many years.  We were beyond ecstatic.  It started snowing yesterday around noon and finally stopped this afternoon.  We got around 10 inches of snow.  The boys are thrilled!  

I searched almost every place in our city on Tuesday to try to find a sled before the snow started.  I finally had to go into a different city to get one.  It seems like everyone else had the same idea.  ;)  All of that hard work was definitely worth it though, watching the boys sledding down our driveway and the small hill in our yard.  They had such a blast.  I'm so glad we finally got enough snow for them to be able to get out and actually play in it.  

They went sledding for hours.  They got to have snow cream for the first time, which they loved.  They made snow angels outside.  We attempted to make a snowman, but it didn't turn out very well.  ;)

First time having snow cream!

They slid so far they went to the other side of the street!

We made so many fun memories.  It was a great couple of days.  :)  

What I'm Loving Wednesday

*  I'm loving that we are getting more snow today!  I hope we get a lot.  I would love for the boys to be able to experience a really good snow that they can get out and play in.  Usually if we get anything at all it's just a dusting.  

*  I'm loving that our state refund was deposited into our account yesterday.  We were able to go out and do a couple things that needed to be done, so that was nice.  Now, if our federal money would show up, that'd be even better!  ;)  

*  I'm loving the Stephanie Plum series.  Right now I'm reading book #14, Fearless Fourteen.  Those books are so funny.  You can't help but to be hooked on them. 

*  I'm loving that I finally got to watch Catching Fire.  I absolutely loved it!  What a cliffhanger ending, too!   I can't wait for Mockingjay to come out.  

*  I'm loving that it's almost Valentine's Day!  The boys are excited to write out Valentine's to their classmates.  I went a little overboard buying them, so they have plenty to choose from.  Despicable Me, Disney Planes, Angry Birds, Iron Man/Avengers, and Disney Cars.

Monday Funnies #2

I'm going to make the Monday Funnies a weekly thing here on my blog.  We could all benefit from starting our week off with a laugh, right?!  :)  

Flash back to our childhood!  Did anyone else do this?  I totally did, haha.

Jennifer Lawrence is SO funny!  I just love her. 

So true!  Any Hunger Games fans out there?  

I know, right?!  It's Catching Fire.  "Hunger Games 2" makes my eye twitch.  

Every.single.time

Thank you Ross!!

Some people pin such awesome things though!  :)

Yep.  You don't mess with my books.  

Am I right or am I right?  ;)

At least once an episode.  Darn you Shonda!

This couldn't be any more accurate for me.

Worst day ever.  

Anyone else do the army crawl and then hide?  ;)

One of my favorite lines from that movie.

I think this describes every cat ever.

Never.

Monday Funnies

We hardly ever look forward to Monday.  It's just a blah, dreary kind of day.  To make Monday a little more fun and get my week off to a great start, I'm going to share some funny things that I've come across on Pinterest, Facebook, and places like that.  Just some things that gave me a little chuckle.  


Here are some things that have made me laugh lately:  

Sorry Broncos fans.  I thought this was pretty funny after all of the hype that was placed on Denver and this man in particular.  

I am pretty easily amused and I may have laughed a little too much at this one.

So very true.

Don't you just hate it when you get this as a response to a text?

I can't think of very many things that embarrass me more than people singing Happy Birthday to me.  You just don't know what to do while a group of people are standing around you singing to you.  

I got a good laugh out of this one.

I know, right?  Don't you just hate that?  I'm going to have to start writing down my information on a pad so I can go back and look it up in case I ever forget.  

This!  Grr!  I'll come across something funny on YouTube that I want to show the boys or Eric, and when they go to look at it, it won't load.  

So very true. 

Gotta love Phoebe.  

Love this line!

I hope you all got a good laugh from some of these.

Snow Day 2014

On Tuesday this week we finally got some SNOW!!!  The boys and I were so excited.  We hardly ever get snow anymore and when we do get some, it's usually just a dusting and not much to mess with.  

We got a couple inches this time though and had an amazing time playing in it.  We spent Tuesday evening and most of Wednesday playing outside in the snow.  Our puppy Spots is just a few months old so it was his first experience in snow.  It was fun watching his reaction to it.  He wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first, and then started running around like crazy.  

Here are some pictures from our snow day:

I love this picture
The dog is looking but the boys aren't ;)

What I'm Loving Wednesday

*  I'm loving that we got snow yesterday and that the boys are out of school today so they can go out and play in it.  I'll have a blog post all about our snow day later.  :)


*  I'm loving that Logan lost his second tooth today.  He was so excited.  It's been loose for a couple months now.  His teeth just don't want to budge.  ;)


*  I'm loving that both of the boys got good grades on their report cards on Monday.  Logan has improved so much from the beginning of the year with his behavior.  I think we've finally got his ADHD under control.  Chris has improved a lot as well.  I'm so proud of both of them.


*  I'm loving that the book fair is coming to the boys' school next week.  I think I might be more excited than they are!  I just LOVE buying books.  You can never have too many books, contrary to what my husband might say ;)


*  I'm loving that we are going to go to file our taxes this weekend.  There are so many things we need to do when we get our money back.  I'm anxious to get started.  It's always nice to have that extra money around.


*  I'm loving all of the books I've downloaded lately.  I got a tablet for Christmas and downloaded the kindle app.  I never thought I would really be someone who was into e-books since I'm such a lover of real books you can get your hands on, but it's pretty convenient.  I can read new books without the clutter taking up our house like my books are right now ;)  haha.  And I love that your place in the book is saved automatically.  That's just neat.  Thanks to all of these couponing websites I follow on Facebook, every book I've downloaded so far has been free!  I've been browsing book selections on Amazon the last few days and book prices for the kindle really aren't that bad, so I'm sure I'll be buying some soon.


What are you loving lately?  :)
