Snow Storm 2018: Day Three

Today was Day Three of Snow Storm 2018. I'm actually kinda over it and ready to move on. One good snow and I'm happy, so this is enough for me. Except round two is on the way with another two inches expected. I've already told Eric that I'll have to work on Tuesday no matter what, cause I'm ready for some structure.

But for now, we are enjoying our slow, lazy days. I wasn't feeling so great when I got up, so we didn't make it to church. After resting most of the morning, Eric took Eli to lunch and to play basketball while Ellie and I made the most of our time at home. I eventually got bored of my view from the couch, so I cleaned out her dresser drawers and closet.

When the boys got back home, we all went out for a short sledding adventure. It was more of the same from yesterday until Ellie got cold again. She and I came back inside to get warm while Eli and Eric had a snowball fight. I'm so glad my kids have a daddy who will do that kind of thing with them.

We grilled burgers for dinner, bathed the kids, and settled in for a movie. Ellie fell asleep, so we're gonna hold off another night on watching Frozen...cause what else is there to watch during an ice storm?

I'm not the best at staying home for days on end, but I sure have enjoyed the past few days with my babies. Looks like tomorrow will be more sledding, more closet organizing, and if we're lucky, a trip to town for groceries before more snow makes it way into the area.

Then, let's talk "spring."

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list. To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day. Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler. Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure. They slowly but surely warmed up to it. Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit. She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her. Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed. Thank goodness our yard is basically an o
