Day 23

More snow.  BEAUTIFUL snow!!  It was so nice to sit & watch it snow, pretty much ALL day today.  Didn't accumulate too much which is good since I have to go to the doctor first thing tomorrow & Scott has to drive to Chicago!  Didn't do anything today but surf the net & watch the snow!

Day 22

So, Scott goes out to dig the car out from the snow.  Somehow while walking thru the garage out to the car, he doesn't notice the garage door hasn't opened all the way & runs SMACK into the bottom of it.  OUCH!!!  The thing bled & bled & bled!!  He hit the door so hard, it knocked the door off it's track!!  Luckily, he just had the cuts on his face, no brain damage.  now, if he could just explain HOW he didn't see the door wasn't open....

Day 21

I can drive THRU it!!!

This is taken at our mall, by what used to be Pasta House. 

Back story:  A few years back, we had some snow.  My parents were going to meet us at Pasta House for dinner.  Scott & I got there early (this was so long ago, we had no KIDS!)  We see my parents drive by & wait for them to come in.  And wait.  And wait.  And WAIT!!!  They don't show.  Finally, they come in.  Seems dad thought he could drive OVER the pile of snow between the parking rows & got his car stuck.  We ate dinner & then helped push dad's car over the snow.  Now, it's a standing joke whenever we see a pile of snow to announce "I can drive thru it!" 

For the record, this pile of snow is at least a 6' high.  I think even my dad wouldn't have tried to drive thru this one!!  LOL

Day 20

WOW!!!  I'm a LONG way behind.  Here's some catch-up!!!

We did get more snow than we have in YEARS!!  Lots o'snow.  Some pretty pics of the SNOW!

More pics coming!

I promise.  I've been taking pics & some are even ready to post but, my EHD (where I keep my pics, in case my computer crashes but, what do I do if my EHD crashes????) is downstairs.  I am upstairs.  I'm sick & it's tooooooo cold downstairs for me in my fevered state.  Sometime this week I'll either take the 'puter back down or bring the EHD up.  Scott's out of town so the latter is an option.  LOL

Day 19

SNOW!!!  We're supposed to get a dumping overnight tonite.  We had less than an inch at 10pm and school still wasn't closed.  But, it was falling fast & furious & I am SURE it'll be closed by tomorrow when I get up. 

And, just to let you know, Nick's new game he got yesterday?  He got GROUNDED from it today.  Gave him 3 little tasks to do before he left for school; he did NONE of them.  Not even putting the juice away!!!  Felt bad but, what's a mom to do???

Day 18

It's LITTLE BIG PLANET 2 DAY!!!

Last Christmas, when we got Nick his PS3, it came with Little Big Planet.  It looked like a lame baby game to me and I was worried Nick wasn't going to like it (at that point he was only getting 3 PS3 games so I was worried he wouldn't have enough to enjoy his new present).  Well LPB was a HUGE hit with Nick (and everyone else I guess).  It's main character is Sackboy and the COOLEST thing (I think) about Sackboy is you can dress him in costumes.  Most costumes are free, some cost money but Nick's big time into buying Sackboy cool costumes.

Anyway, LBP2 was supposed to come out in October.  But, just when Nick had saved enough money to buy it, the pushed it back to JANUARY!!!  WHAT????  Nick didn't think he'd last until it came out.  He ended up getting enough money for Christmas to buy the "Collector's Pack" thru Amazon.  It came with a small stuffed Sackboy, bookends for his games and LOTS of cool "down loadable content" that included MORE COSTUMES!!!

The UPS man didn't come before Nick got home from school.  Nick must have SENSED the brown truck before it go her 'cause he was out the door like a SHOT & the guy didn't even get a chance to get out of his truck.  Nick even had enough time to play a bit before the basketball game.  Nick was hoping for a snow day so he could play all day.  No luck.  But maybe on Thursday????
