Valentine's Party and Snow Fun

Today started early with fun in the snow. We got up and went out it was nice to spend some morning time having fun instead of rushing to get ready. Snow angels were made, snow balls were thrown, and of course pictures were taken. I really wanted a picture of the boys outside of their schools with the snow, but they did not want to stop long enough to make that happen.

Danny had a great day at school. Followed by a good time at basketball practice. They are getting ready to take on St. Rose's Saturday morning.

John Michael enjoyed a fun Thursday giving out and accepting Valentine's with all of his friends. Of course I was there with my camera, where else would I be? The kids all seemed to have a great time. They definitely got a lot of sugar, in fact John Michael is still going on his sugar high! Waiting for the crash so he will go to bed so that I can go to bed!

Danny has all of his Valentine's ready for next Monday. A friend of mine checked to see if we could have Valentine's delivered to the school, but it is not allowed. Oh well, we will just do it at home as always.

The Heating guy is supposed to come in the morning. Time for the service, and it is leaking again, which is just a pain in the hiney. Hopefully it is nothing and the water in the garage will stop seeping out. It is just a pain and makes for a lot of extra cleanup, plus because I where it is laundry has to be limited, so I am behind on that now.

Looking forward to a nice weekend, with much better temperatures. Even more excited about next week with highs in the sixties! YAY! James Spann said this morning on his e-forecast that the worst of 2010-2011 winter appeared to be behind us. This news had me smiling all day.

Well it is not before 9, but as soon as the boys fall asleep I am off to bed. Before I go I will be praying for all of my family and friends. I have a friend who has lost her mother and I ask that everyone please pray for her as I know that it is always difficult to lose a parent.

Snow and Valentine's Preparations

John Michael's Valentine's party is tomorrow so we finally went to Target and got some Valentine's and the bag of candy that I was supposed to bring the other day. Better late than never....and it is not really late, just really cutting it close. Well, we went on and got Danny's and then I got a few things that I needed to get I was out of Ziploc bags...craziness.

Well, we had a visit from our favorite Aunt B today. The boys adore her and so do Brandon and I. It is always great to spend some time with her.

School's are already delayed 2 hours tomorrow morning because of the snow threat that is now here. The snow is so pretty though, I almost forgot how pretty it was since we have pretty much only seen ice this winter. We plan on getting up in the morning like a regular day so we can have a little bit of time in the morning before school to play. As pretty as it is a day at home would really not hurt my feelings, I like to play in the snow...and take pictures ;) with my men. I am hoping that Brandon is at least delayed too that we we can have some family fun before the day starts.

Today on Monica vs. The House John Michael's room was the headline. Monica won! Closet cleaned out, drawers cleaned out, under the bed cleaned out. I have three bags and two boxes of clothes to get rid of and added to the special clothes that I have from the boys. One day I will make a quilt or something from it so that they are actually used. We shall see I know how to use my sewing machine now but quilting is a whole different monster. I will definitely try will just regular material before I take the scissors to the clothes, blankets, and bibs that I am just too attached to. There will be no episode tomorrow if there is school since I will be there taking pictures at the Valentine's party.

Well, it is after 10, so not before 9. I am going to keep trying though! Before I go to bed tonight I will as always pray for all of my family and friends. I have a special intention that I would love prayers from you all for. Thanks in advance.

No Ice Ice Baby

So I knew that there was a slight possibility of a few flurries, but seriously not this. I picked up John Michael, and walking into the school there were a few flurries. When I walked out of the school it was crazy snowing, by the time I got him in the van and we got on the road I could barely see because of the snow and now ice falling. In the few minutes I was in the school I had six missed calls, one from Danny's school, they were closing early and the rest from Brandon letting me know he was going to get Danny. He ended up taking Danny to work with him which meant Danny finished his homework, and well, John Michael and I came home and played.

The picture is the ice on the deck and I wrote Not Again, but the dog walked through it so it is hard to tell. Oh well, maybe I shuld have waited to let him out until I took the picture. You get the idea though!

I did get some laundry done but there was too much going on today for much more. Plus my sinuses have me slightly under the weather. It couldn't have anything to do with the rapidly changing weather could it? Oh well, tomorrow is a new day with a lot going on, but it will be wonderful.





I am glad that it is warming up (well not really but going over freezing anyway). Danny's school is delayed 2 hours, but Jump Rope for Heart is on! Please help him out and give a donation, no matter how big or small it makes a huge difference for someone! Check out my FaceBook Page for a link... Monica Brandon Thach in Birmingham, AL....that is me! Thank you in advance it means a lot to Danny!





Well, it is not before 9, but I am still not giving up! Before I go to bed I am praying for all of my friends and family. I am saying a special prayer for a military family who is in my heart. They are together this weekend before he leaves and I hope that they have an amazing weekend. Military families are all amazing and I always pray for them. They are the heroes of this country!
