Still snowed..er..iced in!

We are still snowed in. This makes day 4. The snow has turned to ice, which makes our roads absolutely terrible. I have managed to get my kids dressed and pretty well bathed all week, but I think today is going to have to be pajama day. Here are some pictures of our pretty snow. At least here in the south it stays pretty and does not turn into "frozen gravy" as Kelly Rippa states it up in New York.

It took us about thirty minutes to get everybody dressed. It felt like that scene in A Christmas Story where the mom was getting Randy dressed. Jeffery could barely walk with the weight of his layers.


Jeffery's gloves fell off his wittle hands almost immediately. Once he fell hands first in the snow, he was done!

Headed back to the house. Maybe next time.


The snow went all the way to the top of MG's boots.

I call this shot, Redneck Winter. Here is Wylie sledding down the hill on a cardboard box. We like to keep it classy here.


Laundry round 1. The kids went through three layers three times that day. You can do the math. I was a busy mom trying to keep up. Who wants hot cocoa?

More Christmas

We are snowed in! Sunday night we got about four inches of snow in about two hours. This is enough in my part of the world to shut everything down. This of course if fine with me because, A, Hubby is home, and B, snuggling with my kids and playing in the snow is my idea of winter time fun!

I thought since I was snowed in I would catch up with my blogging. Here are some more Christmas pictures that I promised.



I got Drew Rock Band 3 for Christmas. It is so much fun, I ain't gonna' lie!


We left for Papa and Nan's at 10:00 for more Christmas.


As soon as we got back it started to rain. Then the rain turned to snow and we had a white Christmas! It was the perfect day!
I hope you all had a very merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Happy New year to the three people that read my blog! Ha Ha.

I am sorry that I have not posted Christmas pictures yet, but I have been working around the house getting organized and doing some new projects. I will post those later, but let me catch up with Christmas first.

We had a whirlwind of a Christmas this year. I really felt like it flew by, and from what I hear, it happened that way for a lot of folks. Here is a recap for you.

Christmas Eve at Pop and Nonna's


MG finally got a pillow pet! I think every little girl got this for Christmas.


Wylie is behind that box of Legos. He had a very LEGO Christmas.


Poor Jeffery only got to open one present before he crashed and burned.


Uh oh, somebody's got a frowny face.


My nanna and her fabulous faux zebra snuggie. It's a faznuggie!


Wylie's Christmas loot.


MG and Jeffery's loot.


Mary Grace also got a doll house from Santa.

This doll house was actually mine as a little girl, but it never got finished. Drew came and got the unfinished doll house out of Mom and Dad's attic without me knowing and began to work on it. This huge thing was in my basement for about a month and I had no idea. Drew just about killed himself trying to get a bunch done on it before Christmas. It was a total surprise for Mary Grace and myself. Especially since the kids got us up at 4:30!!!!!!!!! Not kidding.

The inside. Lot's to do still, but that is the fun part.

This post is getting really long, and I have a toddler to chase. I will post Christmas day photos in the next day or so.
