Day 62

Gumballs.  Taken from the open sunroof.  Spring MIGHT be on it's way......

Day 61

Pretty Punches!!!  This is my punch drawer.  It's not ALL of my punches.  My newer SU thumb punches & the NEW SU flat punches are elsewhere.  But they're black & grey & BORING.  I sold off a bunch of my punches a few years back.  Thought punches were passe'.  They weren't.  Miss my snowflake punches!  Anyway, I thought the colors & the jumble was pretty.....

Day 60

Tonite was McTeacher night.  One of my FAVORITE fund raisers!!  Make money for the school AND I dont' have to cook!!!  And McDs loves to have Bethel McTeacher nights; they sell more on our nights than any other school, INCLUDING public schools.  I swear everyone from the church & school come out on these nights.  I think the parents have more fun than the kids!!!



I know my kids get a kick out of seeing their teachers do manual labor.  Here is Jamie (our new secretary) with her "work" pose.  She's so funny!!!

Day 59

I'm sorry to give you so many kitty pics.  When he's asleep & sooooo sweet looking, I can't help but to take a pic.  Lately, he's been a big PAIN when he's awake.  He wants to go outside.  Somehow he thinks if he sits by the door & whines, we'll let him out.  I don't know WHY he thinks this, it's not like we've EVER done that!  I love the way he curls up & puts his nose under his paw.  I guess his nose gets cold when he sleeps too.

Day 58

Happy Birthday Scott!!! 

We went to dinner to Golden Corral.  I made Scott a Lemon cake w/lemon icing (one of his favorites).  I think he had a pretty good birthday.  I got him a external DVD drive for the new computer I got him for Christmas (didn't realize it didn't come with one!)  He liked it until I told him I could have gotten him a blu ray player.  Now, he wants that instead.....  Men & their toys!!!

Day 57

Tomorrow is Scott's birthday.  So, we decided to go out to eat TOMORROW instead of our usual Saturday night out.  But, as the day went on, no one could decide what they wanted for dinner!  I refuse to cook spaghetti on a Saturday (just a rule of mine, lol) so we decided to go out.  Well, no one could agree on where to eat.  There was discussion (argument??) until I suggested Wendy's. 

For a cheap, quick dinner, it was so much fun.  I don't know why.  We just laughed & joked & I took pictures of Nick's fries, his empty ketchup container, the stack of napkins and TRIED to get a pic of him.  He kept putting his hand in front of the camera.  I finally got this shot of him, headless but was given approval to keep this shot.  This is what Nick's about right now:  no pics, hollister shirts, his hollister chicken (yes, I know a parrot) necklace & his american rag hoodie.  For a boy who would NOT wear brand names a few years ago (insisted I get his t's from target) he's all about brand now.  Of course, these are the ONLY TWO brands he will wear.  No American Eagle, no Aeropostale, no Old Navy.  Only Hollister & American Rag.  Occasionally, if there is a Nautica T on clearance at Macy's, he'll buy it.  <sigh>

Day 56

Remember that nice 60 degree day last week when I took the pictures of the budding trees?  Well, today we got a inch or so of snow!!!  Kinda wild!  The trees, bushes & fences were so cool looking w/the wet, heavy snow smashed into them.  The streets & sidewalks were all clear but the ground was covered & pretty!!!
