Playing in the Snow

Well, snowmageddon 2.0 hit late last night/early this morning. I am now on my third snow day in a week, and my hubby is on his second (which I love). With zero snow days the past two years, I am soaking it in and enjoying every second. This time around the snow is so different, and it literally looks like a winter wonderland movie…

The Beags are so enjoying the fact that their mom and dad are home with them, and we even took a little adventure outside while the hubby shoveled!

Snow day videos...

Now the girls and I are all cuddled up and going to watch a movie while the hubby does a little work and then hopefully joins us in a bit. Happy snow day everyone!

*Snow Day*

Last night, after much anticipation of an approaching giant snow storm, I wasn't too surprised to get a text that today would be a *snow day*. This morning we woke up to the surprise that the hubby had a snow day too, and we all are thoroughly enjoying the day relaxing, laughing at the pups trying to go out (hubby had to shovel a path for them), and lounging in our pjs. 

I am so not going out there!

Yummm

There's a good chance tomorrow will be another snow day as more snow (yes more!) is supposed to roll in later this afternoon and evening. This teacher has her fingers crossed for another four-day weekend!

Carpet update:

The new carpet is like a complete house makeover. It feels so brand new to us and was the perfect way to update our little made in the 80's home. I love the way it contrasts with the dark wood (minus the molding which we will someday change to white) and beams. Overall, we are very happy!

 I had to throw this one in too with the naughty critters up on the couch pillows

Happy Thursday! And if you are in the midst of this crazy snow storm, stay in, make yourself some hot chocolate, a yummy snack, and watch your favorite movie.:)

Love Day and A Four-Day Weekend

Why hello little blog that I have been abandoning for so long. It's been a busy and amazing school year, but other than that I really have no excuse for my absence the past few (many) months. Anyways... 

Second semester conferences were Wednesday evening and all day yesterday, and it was both exhausting and great. I was again reminded how much I love what I do. Multiple times I had parents tell me their student loves my class, and each time it made my heart skip a beat with happiness. It definitely made up for being at conferences all day on "Love Day".

That being said, it was also great to come home knowing I have a four-day weekend ahead of me to relax and also be productive; our district is closed today, and President's day is Monday. Cupid and my sweet sister visited during the day, so presents and sweet treats were waiting for me when I finally got home:

:)

My Valentine! I love this man and the many adventures we have taken together. 

Today I got to sleep in a bit, though I did have a little trouble this morning. After the hubby left for work, instead of spreading out (we had the whole bed you know) someone decided to be a bed hog...

See how much room Giddy gave me? It's her job to be in bed if someone else is (and sometimes even when no one else is) and to snuggle them half to death.

It's an exciting day in our house today because we are getting new carpet! Since the girls aren't the best helpers in the world, they got to go to daycare. Gert made sure to rest up on the way there. 

Currently, the house is a disaster (it looks like we're moving) and there is a lot of commotion and banging as the old carpet moves out and the new moves in. I'm sequestered in the kitchen corner surrounded by a couch, coffee table, many chairs, and many more odds and ends from different rooms in our house. See?

Thankfully I have a four-day weekend to put my house back together, clean, and get organized - something we have needed to do for awhile, so this is a good push. I also get to bask in the glory of it's prettiness and clean, new carpet smell. Can't wait! Here's a sneak peek...

Happy weekend everyone, and I will hopefully be back to give this blog a little more lovin' and let you see the rest of the place when it's done and put back together.
