Snow Day in the Real World

We woke up to more snow this morning!

Not as much fun as our first snow day! There was no sledding or snowmen this time, just lots of icey roads...

The most unfortunate part was that Robert and I both had to work! So we all put on our boots and set out. Here are a few pictures for mine and Reese's icey journey:

Did I mention I'm ready for warm weather?! At least it made for an interesting drive this morning!

PLAYLAND!

A dream land for hyped up kids and their parents who need to get them out of the house!

Also known as the newest play-place in our area and a great outing for a rainy holiday. PlayLand rents moon bounces but it is also is a large play area with 5 different moon bounces set up. Kids come in and can literally bounce off the walls! They also have a gaming area in the back and plenty of ride-on toys.

Reese was still a little small for most of them so, despite my wishes I did climb in a few and help her slide down. By the end of the day though, she was doing it on her own.

UP!

UP!

...and AWAY!!

Just Hanging Around

After the chaos of the holidays we have really enjoyed having our weekends back! This past weekend Robert and I had plans to go to Knoxville to visit some friends and celebrate on of my best friends birthdays. But, after a week long, three-round battle with the stomuch virus, we weren't prepared to do anything but re-cooperate and sanitize! So instead we spent the majority of the weekend in our p.j.s, playing with puppies and babydolls.

Reese helped me cook breakfast Saturday morning - she is getting pretty good at cracking the eggs and actually getting egg into the pan! Still can't say much for how many shells will be included.

Saturday we went to Chuck E. Cheese with Mason, John, Crissy and Grandma Judy. I think Mason and Reese both loved it probably as much as thier dad's :) Luckily Crissy got a jackpot and scored Reese a ton of tickets! So she got to get 2 bracelets and 2 tootsie rolls! It made her weekend!

Sunday we made up for the laundry that didn't get done last week and Reese played with her favortie puppies. She asked for real puppy food. I said we didn't have any so she asked if they could have wheat thins and raisins?! With a spoon...

She loves her puppies!

SNOW DAY!

SO. MUCH. FUN.

Like pretty much everywhere else, we got SNOW Sunday night. This was my first official snow day in the working world! Needless to say, when I got the "no work tomorrow" call Sunday night I was happier than Reese at Chuckie Cheese - well, maybe not that happy but pretty excited!

Reese was all but asleep when it started snowing Sunday night but, when we spotted the white blanket outside she went crazy! I was glad I didn't have to go to work Monday because she kept us up well past our bedtime.

She was so surprised there was still snow Monday morning that we shared the excitement all over again! We made muffins and cuddled up in front on the window for a while then got dressed to PLAY!

We spent the day building snowmen and making snow angels with Cabe and Payton.

Did some sledding with Granddaddy...

And of course, had hot chocolate!

The perfect day of playing!

Luckily it was enough snow to enjoy but didn't completely barricade us in. So today it was back to work. I guess all good things must end - Now bring on the sunshine and warm weather :)

Happy 2011!

Happy New Year!

We set out to ring in the New Year with friends and Reese headed to Grandma and Grandpa's in her favorite party outfit, complete with pearls!

Today we are lounging and cooking breakfast...

{Such a cutie!!}
