winter

It's really been hard to blog anything, because for the past several weeks, it's basically been about one thing: snow. I'm getting tired of it. I think we've had well over 80 inches total snow fall this season, which is beyond record-breaking for our ...

There is nothing so simultaneously soothing and invigorating as taking a walk. Ellis had school again today, for the first time since last Tuesday. It's snowing out, but only about an inch or so. Not feet. I forgot to send along something he needed, so ...

I had to think hard about this. Do I really love snow? But, then, I decided that, yes, i do love snow. What I don't like is the occasional inconvenient side effects of snow. But snow itself? i love it. It's so beautiful and magical...all 25 inches of it. ...

Eek I'm getting a little behind here. Well, the snow finally stopped on Sunday morning. We were so snowed that the morning service at our church was cancelled. So they bumped the evening service up an hour and then we were able to have our Christmas ...

Today's december photo project is brought to you by Snowpocalypse '09. It's been snowing for about 15 hours with another 15 hours predicted. There's a lot of snow out there. I love the reflection of the Christmas tree in the window. ...

I sure am glad I ventured forth to get the boys new coats on Thursday, because our walk to school on Friday was COLD!! When we got home from school in the afternoon, I brought chairs to sit around my kitchen table and made hot cocoa for Ellis ...

I've decided that for the December Photo Project this year, it's going to all be from the iPhone. All pics, all editing. The only thing that I'll do on my computer is write the blog entry (since I don't have an app for that). Here's ...

Cool new bloggy template!!!! (so if you're reading in a feed reader, come on over and check out the real deal.) hubby is still tweaking some, but it's nice to have a fresh, new look around here. Tomorrow begins December. Aka Month o' Madness. ...

Putting "fun" up there there next to "February" is what you have to do in order to not put "deteriorating sanity" up there next to "February." We do have Valentine's Day and President's Day, but we don't have Mardi Gras up here in the cold north, and ...

Well, I didn't mean to take such an extended blogging break. Last week was kind of bah humbug though. We had a brush with the terrible stomach bug that's been going around our community. E was sick a little last weekend, and I was sick on Thursday. ...

Could yesterday's weather have been any more yucktastic!? We were out in it all day. We got to the train station in plenty of time, and the trains were really backed up because of the ice. The power was out (and thus the heat) in some of the cars, ...

There's a blanket of snow on the ground when we got up this morning. It was barely cold enough for snow, and now it is raining. Wet, cold rain. Making all the pretty snow a layer of slush. I got up early to beat the masses, but the masses ...

Yesterday when we woke up there was a generous dusting of snow on the ground. We went out to play a little, kicking it around, and even made a little snowman (more on that later). About 10 minutes after we came back inside, it started snowing again. And ...

We actually had a dusting of snow yesterday. As other parts of the country are deeply buried in the white stuff, we get these measly little tastes of winter. It was enough to warrant bundling up and playing outside, but not enough to actually do anything ...

Yesterday, I intended to take the kids to the new and improved children's museum. It was, however, the day after New Year's, and probably the last vacation day for many. One pass by the museum, ogling the enormity of the line just waiting to get in, drove ...

The weather has been wintry-mixing. Started off rain, then sleet, then big fluffy snowflakes. Now it's sleety rain again. Boo. We went over to my ILs for dinner, and Ellis enjoyed throwing "snowballs" at us with the little snow that had ...

Not only was the Thanksgiving turkey purchased, but this afternoon it started snowing. It took a couple of false starts to really get going, but now it is snowing steadily. It is barely cold enough to be snow. It melts on the pavement, but is gathering a ...

I meant to celebrate the beginning of December with this post. But yesterday got a little away from me. It's very cold here (well, at least it is for here, and we don't really have adequate heating, so it's *brrr* indoors as well). So snowflakes and ...
