Snow and Ice

Pictures from our ice/snow storm.

A White March...

Well, luckily we were already off of school today for an in-service day with all the snow that is expected. I woke up about 6 and looked out the window and didn't see much. When I finally got up later about 8:30 this is what was going on:

This is supposed to be the biggest snow storm we have had in a while so I thought I'd keep a visual of it. This mini-bat from the Louisville Slugger Museum is 17 inches long. Hopefully it won't get that deep.

At noon:

Little less grass showing. I let Bailey out to play. She loves the snow and especially loves catching snowballs in her mouth. She's weird!



Stay tuned, we'll see what falls.

Finally!

I finally finished my first scrapbook pages in my new room. I've been off since last Friday and it's now Wednesday evening. More than likely we will have school tomorrow, so nothing like waiting until the last minute, but those of you that know me that's nothing new. So this is what I worked on this afternoon. This is a combination of pictures from our two trips to Wrigley Field. Brad has wanted me to do an album of all the ballparks we visit. I've had this album for a few years now, and this is the first 2 page layout in the book. Of course it had to be Wrigley. This is the cover page of the book.

I'm going to use the whole song at some point throughout the album. I'm sure I'll have pictures that will go over a 2 page layout and some point and can use a line from the song to fill in. Then the last page will be the last line. These red letter are the very first thing I ever cut out with a Cricut a long time ago.

I added this picture on the inside front cover. I took it at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame last spring because I loved it's saying. It was a huge mural that has a whole team lined up for the national anthem. It says "Each spring holds the promise of another great team. The story continues..." I'm such a baseball sap. Today is the first day of Spring Training, so baseball fever has returned to our house. 15 days until the 1st Spring Training game and 47 days until Opening Day! Brad got lucky to find someone that enjoys baseball almost as much as he does.



For those of you that don't care about baseball, I didn't waste all these snow days/sick days. I did finish a book. Nicholas Sparks, The Choice, is really good. He's such a sappy, romantic writer. I always cry at the end of his books.And I went and saw 27 Dresses with Teaque last night. I keep dragging her out, trying to get that water to break, but little Corynn just isn't cooperating. Maybe tomorrow...

Kids and their Germs

I don't know which little booger at school left this stomach virus germ for me, but I'm going to find them. I usually don't catch the stuff that goes around school. I guess I've built up an immune system to it. But this one might must have been a bad one. I started throwing up late Sat. night and didn't stop until about 8 Sunday morning. Then I slept most of the day. Today I got up to go to work, but could just barely sit up, my sides hurt so bad. So I called in sick. Haven't done much all day except sit around. Probably lost some weight though. Hopefully, I'll feel better tomorrow so that I can enjoy the snow day that I'm sure we'll have. I'm going to scrap in my room. I hope!

Snow Day!!!

I love waking up in the morning, looking out the window and then running to the tv to see "Nelson County Schools - Closed". It's just the gift of a random day off that makes me happy. I love my job, but a few random days here and there are great. We'll probably lose a scheduled day off in Feb. or something but for some reason a surprise day is better than a scheduled day to me.

We didn't get much snow, but I let Bailey out the back door this morning and said her name. She saw the camera in my hand and just sat down to have her picture made. She's such a diva!

Hope you're enjoying your snow day and yes, Teaque, I hear you cursing me all the way from Vine Grove.
