Blizzard 2011

Blizzard 2011 officially gives me that "Remember when..." story.  The most telling part of this blizzard...3 snow days.  Yep, no school for 3 whole days.  It snowed for 24 hours straight.  It was 72 hours before the girls and I actually left the house.  I did kick them out to play in the snow.  When your pushing 20 inches of fluffly white stuff, who doesn't want to go out and play, right?  It was a struggle to get around.  They got stuck in a couple of drifts, but at least now they have their own blizzard 2011 stories to tell. 


In the midst of all this, the groundhog saw his shadow...early spring?  I'm not so sure...

You Capture - Cold

Today's You Capture  is cold.  Rather appropriate considering this morning was the coldest so far this winter season.  It was a frigid 10 below at 7 this morning.  It has warmed up 25 degrees today to a balmy high of 15.  I am seriously over the snow and the cold.  A heat wave is on the way though.  And with the upcoming 40 degree days, we will also having flooding from all the snow that will surely melt.  Is it summer yet?

You Capture

This is my first  You Capture attempt.  Part of the reason I started this blog is that I wanted to participate in You Capture .  I have also been toying with the idea of blogging for awhile...so why not start now.  Today's mission....red.  The first thing that came to mind was my daughter's new desk/chair.  We ventured to IKEA this weekend for a desk/chair for our daughter.  The chair she wanted...red.  Her room colors...pink and purple.  Why not a red chair?  Why not embrace her out of the box sense of room decoration.  So here it is... As you can see in the background, she also picked a red lamp.  Now, let's see if I can link this.  If I can, it will be a major blogging accomplishment. So this morning my youngest comes out dressed in sparkly red Jessie boots.  I thought "red".  This would be a great You Capture .  So I grab the camera...

New Beginnings

About nine months ago we purchased a new home.  We loved our home and our neighborhood.  The decision was not easy, but when an opportunity came up in our same neighborhood we couldn't say no.  The house was the perfect size and layout, but the interior was not quite our style.  Having completely remodeled the home we were currently in, we had vision and knew we could make this house into our next home.  The bones were great, and the changes would mostly be cosmetic....bringing this 1990 home into 2015.   In the three long months between accepted offer and move-in date, we had basically gutted and remodeled the house in our heads.  We were very gung-ho and full of ideas. All of us, kids included, had ideas.  I think we watch too much HGTV.  Once we moved-in though, we decided to slow our ambitious ideas and get a feel for how we lived in the house.  I decided to revive my blog to document our renovations...something I wish I had d...
