A Day with my Favorite Boy

Another day of snow....

But that's fine. I have a cold & do not feel like going much of anywhere. So Jacob & I spent all day Playing. We painted, play doughed, cleaned ( yes he wanted to clean) so I had him help changed the sheets on the beds & dust & sort laundry, played ball, & of course trains vrs transformers. But I loved every moment of it. We had so many funny moments filled with laughter. He especially liked when I made him Hot Cocoa placing it in a sippy cup where it proceeded to squirt all over my hand & arm. I laughed too!

It was nice to see him have a day of NO TV~

I hate him watching TV so much but when my parents watch him while I work. I can not fuss when the let him watch it so much because they watch him for free. ( free... but I do buy them things & pay for them to go on vacation with us & try to help out in the summer with the yard work & stuff. ) Anyway some times when I bring him home he will beg for TV during dinner or at bed time. Today he said I do not want to watch TV. And neither did I.

What an awesome little boy I was blessed with. Proud to say he is MY SON.... ( ok he's Michael's too)

Pictures ...

My boy likes to have his own bowl of popcorn & yes he ate the whole bowl.

Ran up stairs for new set of clothes since he had an accident & came back to find him asleep

His Preschool Halloween spider hat he made.

On another note

Pray for all the people right now who have been affected & could be affect by the Earth quake/ Tsunami . I turned on the news to see this & it really was a frightening sight in Chile. And the thoughts of what's heading toward Hawaii is terrifying.

Back Tracking

Ok alot to cover here. First the pictures on top are my 2 boys helping make chocolate Christmas goodies for company & holiday parties. I had to keep my eye on them. They kept eating the kisses. But we had a blast making them!

My little man in his white onsie is called .... . He finally pooped in the potty Day.

Jan. 23, 2010. Now if we can get him to do it all the time.. Hey its a work in progress. He has his eye on the prize now. Devastator from transformers...

Last is his preschool Cowboy Day... he had jeans on but immediately took them off and wanted his soft (fleece) pants. But he makes one handsome Cowboy~

Update on snow.... We are buried per news station

38.5 inches of snow this month normally in Feb we get 8.5inches

for the year we are at 66.7inches normal is 40.6

Crazy~ Tired of being locked in the house. Not in fear of driving but the other people driving. You know the ones w/ 4 wheel drive ( or reg drive) who think they can still drive at 65 miles per hour..... with all the snow on the road...

Love those people~

More Snow For PA

Where to put the snow! Thats what I think is on everyones mind. Pa is getting hammered with snow... I do count my blessings we did not get hit as bad as D.C.

We ended up getting another 6-7 inches. Which does not sound like much but when the roads are bad to begin with...its bad!! I helped dig out the steps, a spot foor the dog & some of the drive way. On a diet & that equals great exercise. My husband begged me not to. But like I ever listen. So far in 29 days I have lost 22.7lbs so I am really trying to work out & do normal activities that burn calories. And I eat 4 400 calories meals I usually only eat 1400 cal. out of the 1600. But it seems to be working I am not starving but to full.
if you have any great meal ideas under 400 calories let me know....

So anywayI dug out a round spot in the yard for the dog... we laugh we said he had his own personal Private bathroom. He was Suround by at least 2.5 feet of snow.

anyway I tried to post pictures but of course the internet is being a bit touchy. Must be upset about the snow to.

Good night~

PA under State of emergency

So here is the grand total of snow 23 inches................ Insane!

the weather channel, news channels, etc were all wrong for our area. One said 4-8 inches~ the other 6-12.

We woke up & my husband said I do not know how to dig the drive out. Where do I stand where do I put it. Luckily the very nice owner of the green house below us bull dozed us out, the neighbors & the street. What a GREAT NEIGHBOR! I thanked him... He was so concerned cause he started sliding & tore up some of our yard ( he almost went over the hill). I told him I was just happy he was safe. He said come spring come down to the green house & I will give you some free grass seed. I told him not to worry. Very nice guy. We have bought all our plants there even when we live 40 mins away.

But bad news ... our cars are still stuck in the lot below we dug out around them but not the street. PA has a state of emergency declared .. so we will not be going anywhere any way. which is fine we were never planning to leave.

Well stay safe everyone & warm~

Snow Snow Snow

Last night all the TV stations were a buzz with the news of the winter Storm moving our way. One station said 6-12, another 4-8, & then 7-14 inches. Crazy how all of them are different. I am in the wrong line of work. I should do meteorology... get pd alot of money for winging it the whole time. (just joking)

Anyway in office this week which was hard enough... because
long story short... got specially selected to assist with transitioning a company we bought out. And had to learn their system & plan info. Which is insanely different than what I know. Monday I will be on my own at home again so wish me luck. Then in a few months transitioning them to our system & process. CRAZY~~~ I know! But I keep telling myself with growth brings new opportunities.. and $$$ ( knock on wood)

as I was saying hard enough the snow started about 3:00 and when I left at 4:30 it was a mess. About 2''. I could not get the car up far enough on our private street that I had to park it in our neighbors business lot. Also on the way home some guy was driving his truck down the middle of the back road & when he tried to get over for me.. he started sliding right for me.
The main highway people were flying by me I was going 20-25mph & they were going like 50.... insane! I want to live long enough to see my son grow, have grand kids & see a woman president. Not Palin. Sorry. If you like her that's cool... I do not judge.. She is just not my cup of tea. Seems nice... but nice does not give you the big seat.
I am nice & no one is handing me the keys to the world~


Anyway so far we have 8inches.............. this is to go on till 6pm tomorrow

thank good I am working from home Monday~

Good night all... stay safe & WARM!
