Snow Day!!

The kids got the day off today because of the mass amount of snow received yesterday and through the night. So yes of course they had to play, play, play, snow clothes on and off four kids 3 times already, its a wonder I ever got out of my pj's. I have to laugh though after being in New York this just seems a normal everyday amount (it equaled about a foot). Although in New York it would never melt which is why it is so much fun living here because with in just a couple of days it will be gone and it could be 70 degrees again.

Super Saturday

Supper Saturday's are so much fun! Isn't this cute, we also made necklaces and hair bows and of course Christmas decorations. Taylor is off for another week in New Mexico he'll be back for Halloween and then on Sunday I think the kids and I will drive down for his last few days while they pack up the laser. We will enjoy Santa Fe and other places around Albuquerque, I love that area and my kids have never been so I am pretty excited, I hope it works out. I guess its bed time, I get to do another Sunday with no hubby, oh joy! I never have him for the pre-church struggle, but he takes over through meetings, I will miss that.

paint color

The paint color looks much brighter then it is. It actually resembles the first picture with just one spot done then the others. I got a satin finish so it just picks up the light from my flash and I don't know how to turn my flash off. Taylor really doesn't like the color from the pictures. Hopefully he will like it when he gets back.

Paint with a touch of Pain

Taylor is out of town and I decided to paint, we have been in our house for almost two years and with the exception of a few pictures, emphasis on a few, some grimy hand prints and a couple wholes and a dent or two, the walls look about the same.. Boring! Well I had Taylor move the piano before he left so the final pictures will have to wait tell he gets home. These pictures with the flash make the color look brighter than it really is. Anyway we have a plastic office mat that we keep under our piano so that the bench will slide easily and the carpet wont wear by the pedal. Well I had it in the center of the floor away from the wall with the prongs side up, and I can't tell you how many times I accidentally stepped on it with bare feet. But the last straw before I finally turned it over (I know the first time I should have done it) I was hurrying to get the phone and jumped off the ladder with enough forward motion I couldn't jump off to the side I had to take the two extra steps to get off it. Honestly it has been about 2 hours since that happened and my feet are still tingling. Yes I know I don't sound very bright oh well.

Inspiration

I was reading a friends blog this morning and she totally inspired me to be better. Here are some of my thought/goals. 1) Stop raising my voice even if that means I have to climb up the stairs more often to get me kids attention. 2) Read one truly educational thing a month. 3) I want to run 3 miles in 27 minutes, and swim 3000 meters in an hour. My goal is to have these things in practice by the end of the year. It will take effort but I know a little with a little work I can do it. What are your goals??
