Snow day in Pa!

Well, when you have a snow day, there is no school, so no reason to get up early. Apparently my girls haven't gotten that memo! They were up just after 5:00AM and so they watched a horse movie, played with toy horses and had lunch by 10:00! After that, they made a horse! Cracked me up!

Then they decided to do gymnastics off the couch. This activity lasted throughout the day, off and on. Here are a few action shots...

When we were making plans to keep Halena,I thought it would be fun, so I got them matching jammies!

and then there are a few "friend" poses. They had fun, I think! :)

Damien had fun with them as well, and when they sat on the couch to have the picture taken, he sat down with them. Knucklehead!

Watching the snow fall.

A girl and her dog...

He thinks he's small enough to be a lap dog. It's kinda cute, kinda annoying! :)

Silly Boy!

When he's tired, he's tired!

A while ago the girls set up the castle tent. They begged and begged and I finally relented! They were thrilled and it was fun to watch them trying to play in it. However, the DOG thought is was a cuddly little nest made just for him.

Everytime they turned around, he would get in. He was just about too big to fit, but he did it over and over and over!

Flood

It is rare to see this much water coming down the pipe under the road! And look at all the debris down by the sand box!

If you look in the picture above this one, you can just make out that big log that got washed up onto the little low piece of ground! The water was high! The last time I saw the creek this high was Hurrican Katrina!

A while ago it RAINED! LOTS! I tried to take a picture before we left for school, but it was still pretty dark out. I took another one when we got home. The water was down by then, but still, there was a LOT!

The girls had to write a letter to their teacher about Christmas Break. They were just sent home and made me giggle - really hard-core giggle.

Dear Mrs. Bundy,
On Christmas eve I was so excited.I waited and waited til morning would come. Then it was Christmas day. I was even more excited. Then we opened presents. I loved everything. I gota book, doll, gum and I got a CD of Miley Cyrus. And after we opened our presents we got ready to go to my grandparents house and we opened presents there too. I got a radio, chixos, nail polish and I got a few pairs of clothes. After we opened presents we ate. The food was very good. We stayed thre for a long time. I just love Christmas so much.The next day I played with as much of my stuff as I could. And I chewed some gum. On New Years eve I tried to stay up as long as I could but I didnt stay up til 12:00. I was to tirred. On new years day I was excited it was 2010 instead of 2009. It was very fun that day. I played with my sister and my dog Damien.

My favorite line: "And I chewed some gum". What a character! Not sure why that made such an impression on her!

New Baby!

Nathan and Jill had their second baby yesterday. Emmett Richard was born at 10:58 AM. 7 pounds 6 ounces, and almost 21" long.

Hopefully photos will soon follow!
