snow dancin'

some time ago a babysitter came to our house the night before a snow storm and instructed our boys that if they turned their pajamas inside out, put underwear on their head, flushed ice cubes down the toilet and did a snow dance that it would snow and school would be cancelled.

ok kids.......enough with the dancing. time to go back to school.
oh....and yes, she has babysat for us again :)

dont leave home without it

i should mention before i start that i love my iphone. sleek, little, light and easy! i always have it on me, or at least in my car. well yesterday i left it in the house. big mistake....huge! as i came home from my 3 hour long shopping/errand day i noticed my phone was in the house. i checked it.......19 missed phone calls from todd. oh man!!! what's up? he locked his keys in his car.....4 minutes away in alexandria/falls church. i fed sarah and left to go get poor todd who had been stuck at target for 4 hours. i left at 3:30 and arrived at target at 6:45! it was unbelievable. poor guy waited at target for almost 7 hours. needless to say...he's had his target fix for a while now, and i have had my fill of sitting in a car with 3 kids! i was totally glad to have my sweet epidural minivan; GPS and DVD player totally rock again....wont leave home without them.

got snow?

to all those who enjoy the cold, we laugh in your general direction. we enjoy Virginia winter's. we get a good snow storm about 3-4 times a season and generally it only lasts 3-4 days. i like this kind of winter. granted i would much rather be on the North Shore grillin on the beach, but this comes in a close 3rd or 4th (behind other warm locales not mentioned). next storm should be around president's day weekend...it's a given!

and yes....i did take these pictures from the safety of the indoors. a girls gotta do....what a girls gotta do!
