Wordish Wednesday



We took the girls out on Sunday to build a snowman since this last snowfall was perfect snowman snow, if ya know what I mean. The girls were thrilled to be outside no matter how cold it was, which just always makes me laugh. They really couldn't be bothered with rolling around the ball of snow though so they ran thru snow drifts & climbed on their swingset while Chris & I huffed & puffed building a snowman. When it was all said & done though, Jaelyn thought he was the best thing ever. The way she looked at him, I really think she thought he might come to life & start dancing with her. It was too cute! This was one of my favorite pictures I captured. I added the 'snow' effect just because I thought it looked cool.

Things went well in court on Monday. The trial date is set for March 1st so we are just keep our heads up & praying.

I am thankful this week that we are not being crippled by the massive storm coming across the States. We have been "lucky" enough to only get rain thus far, which is fine by me. To those of you getting snow... I hope you are enjoying it & it's not put too much of a damper on your week!

Happy Wednesday!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I am participating in Scavenger Hunt Sunday again. I love doing this! It really helps me to challenge myself with different pictures. You should try it too!!







Texture
The back of our brick house & the hose that never got put away for Winter.

Button
La La Loopsy & her button eyes.


Fog
Ok, not really 'fog' so-to-speak; it's kind of hard to get fog when there is snow on the ground or it's cloudy... we don't get much of it here at all, really. But, I promise to be on the lookout for fog & try to take pictures of it in the very near future!! For now, you get a picture with a sort of foggy feel to it.



Drink
I haven't been feeling all too swell so lots of Ginger Ale helped! 

Seventies
Hello Kitty has certainly been around since the 70s! She is vintage in my book. However, the shoes are currently just waiting to be worn again in the Summer. I really did take this picture this week believe it or not... one of the rare days it wasn't SNOWING!

The Paper Mama

The Paper Mama is hosting a photo challenge with a theme of "Birthday".

This picture is from Jaelyn's 3rd Birthday back in the Summer - we had a Mickey/Minnie theme and she got this adorable hat that says "It's My Birthday" with Mickey ears on it!
I just love her smile!

2 Years / 2 Miracles

2 years ago today, my life was turned upside down around 7pm.
Jaelyn & Abbie were "delivered" to our front door with nothing but a pack of diapers, a bottle, a sippy cupy, a quart of milk and the clothes they were wearing.
As they looked as us with their big beautiful blue eyes, it was an instant connection.
My heart has never been so full.

Happy "Birth"day Jaelyn & Abbie!

Five Question Friday

Oh Friday, how I love thee! Let me count thy ways...

1 - off work for the next two days
2 - no real plans this weekend.. yay!
3 - tons of reading & relaxing planned
4 - celebrating our 'birthday' with the girls tomorrow
 - 2 years & 2 miracles!
5 - SLEEEEEEEPPPP!
6 - no scheduled lunch hour
7 - no aggravating  lovely people to deal with

Ok, thats enough for now!
On to some fun stuff...


My Little Life

1. If you had $1,000 to donate to a charity, which would you choose?
I really love the idea of giving to children. Especially children who are ill or
fighting a battle, so my choice would probably be Make A Wish foundation.

2. Snow days: Do you welcome them happily or are they a pain in your butt?
Here is the deal with snow days - if it gets me out of work
{9 times out of 10 it does not} they are a pain in the butt. If I get to stay
home, in my pjs, in front of the fire.. BRING THEM ON!!

 
3. What talent did you wish you had and why?
I wish I could knit. I know I could probably teach myself,
 and just maybe I might do that. But it would be great to just
wake up one day and be like.. Oh hey, I can totally knit!!

4. Are you a news, politics or celebrity gossip junkie?
I don't mind a mixed bag of all 3. I wouldn't say I'm a junkie but
I will watch the news, I will listen to our President
and I will pick up STAR magazine once in a while. Who can resist
knowing how Jesse James is making an ass of himself now, or
how much weight Oprah has lost this month? Come on now!

5. What is your favorite "cocktail"? (Are you a beer person, a kiddie cocktail junkie, or perhaps your more the "Cosmo" kind?! Anything flies...doesn't hafta be alcoholic!)
I am coffee, diet soda, water, flavored ice-tea, shots, kahlua, girly drink kind of person.
Ya got that?
