Snow Day?

Last night the weather got a little crazy, for Texas anyway. It started sleeting around 5pm and continued off and on through the night. At some point we even got a little snow! All schools were delayed for 2 hours at first, but then around 6am on Friday, they closed. As I was getting comfortable in bed thinking I was going to get to sleep in, Joshua busted through the door asking if it was snowing! Good bye to sleeping in! The other two littles followed soon there after in getting up. The older two wanted to go outside so bad, and who am I to say no, even if it was 7:00am. I knew it wouldn't last long and soon would start melting away. They loved it! There wasn't a lot obviously, but they didn't care! That's the beauty of children, they didn't care that is was not covering the ground completely or that it was freezing, all they saw was a chance to play in the snow. I couldn't take the cold anymore, so they moved to the backyard and continued their fun. They eventually came in and Joshua declared it was the best "snow day" ever! So the sleet/slow is starting to melt away and we are spending the rest of the day inside, taking it easy and enjoying our "snow day"!

M.I.A.

I can't believe it has been 4 months since I have blogged.  Man, alot has happened in these past 4 months.  I am not going to recount everything that has gone on, but highlight the big stuff, like Joshua is halfway through Kindergarten, we celebrated 3 birthdays(2 were 4 days apart), Halloween, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New years.  Part of the reason, why I have not blogged in a while is because I feel quilty
posting only about Joshua.  Since the girls are foster children, I can't post any pics or use their names.  I know how much everyone loves pictures and lets face it, that is a huge part of blogging and what everyone wants to see.  I have 3 kids and if I can't post about all of them, then I don't feel it is worth it.  I am just being honest here.  The other reason is I just either run out of hours in the day or I just run out of energy.  I know I have said this before, but it is the truth.  By the time I can sit down to blog, it is usually 8:30 or 9:00, and all I want to do is either sit and watch TVLand or go to bed.  I suppose I could get up early and blog but I cherish every single minute I can have my eyes shut.  We have done alot of fun things and I have tons of pictures to document said fun times, but I can't post any of them, because of the rules for fostering. 

I will say that everyone is doing well, and we have a sweet, and very busy 15 month old and a tinkerbell loving 4 yr old who is a girly girl through and through and a 6 yr old who thinks he is a ninja turtle or spiderman(depending on the day).  All 3 keep us very busy! The blogging has taken a backset for many reasons, but I will try to blog again before 4 more months go by.
