Snow snow snow

It started snowing tonight while the girls were in ballet and I thought it would snow a little and then go away. I was wrong!! It might be gone in the morning, but it is snowing like it wants to stay a while! My girls would love another snow day and I hope they get the chance,without it causing to many delays and problems for us tomorrow.

I haven't seen this much snow in a long time!! I think snow covering everything is so beautiful.

Jenna's "fish song"

If you ask Jenna (or Meghan) what she did at school....she will say..."oh I played with my friends."
me~"did you learn anything new today?"
Jenna~ "no"
For the record...Jenna and Meghan do learn a lot at school!
Here is a video of Jenna singing a counting fish song. She learned it at school!

Toilet water....

Yesterday evening I was getting the girls ready for bed. I was in the bathroom talking to Jenna and Meghan about brushing their teeth and I went to straighten up the hand towel. It was wet, so I thought someone must have been playing in the sink. I asked, "who wet this towel and why did you need it wet?"....Jenna stated "I don't know, it was wet when I came in here earlier." Meghan had a very sweet look on her face, but it's the look of....I did something:) I told Jenna to go put her clothes in the hamper and then I asked Meghan why she wet the towel...... After she gave me a very sweet smile, she told me...."after I went to the bathroom, I washed my hands...I thought I had put the toilet seat lid down and I threw the towel in the air and it landed in the toilet. I took it out and hung it up:)"!!! OH YUCK!!!! Thankfully she had flushed, but still....it was in the toilet and she was going to continue to use it to wipe her hands and mouth.......
After I finished laughing, I explained it was ok to put it in the hamper and get a new towel for the rack!!

English Snow day!!!

I'm very happy to report....it snowed overnight and has continued to snow through the day today!!! It was sticking pretty well but the temp must be going up a little because it is not accumulating like last night. The girls and I had some fun outside this morning and made a snowman!! He fell over by lunch time but, oh well:)

I just read the news and this is the worst snowstorm in 18 years!! We didn't have to get out in it, so it was a nice chilled out day!

The girls went out a few times to play in the snow but their feet got cold pretty quick....see we don't have snow boots....we have rain boots!!

Snow and Sunshine...all is a days time.

The girls enjoying the snow...we hope to have
more this week!


Jenna warming up in her hoodie!

We had a beautiful winter day today! We woke up to sun, then it started snowing...then the sun came back out. On our way to church this morning we noticed it was getting cloudy the closer we were to Lakenheath. It started snowing heavy but stopped before it could start to stick really well. FINALLY....it started to snow again and we had a soft covering of snow. The girls decided they were going out to play in it.....no it was not deep and it was wet snow, but hey...they still had fun!

This year has been a very cool winter for all of us. After living in Southern California for over 4 years, we are finally seeing some nice seasons. This is actually an extreme from So Cal. We have seen more rain and cold damp weather here and we miss the sunshine and warm temps....but I wouldn't pass up living over here.

I'm starting to think of things to do while my parents are here this spring. It isn't like I have to worry about things to do....I have to decide which ones I think they will like best!

Gender Selection...explained by a 6 year old & a blonde moment

Jenna likes to tell everyone they are a sir.  Well, in the car today, Meghan tried to explain some important things to Jenna.  

Conversation as follows:

J- "Meghan, I'm a sir"

M- "no your not, your a girl, so you are a Ma'am"

J- "well I want to be a Sir.."

M-"you can't decide. Mom decided....see after you were born Mom decided she wanted a girl, so she named you a girl name and let your hair grow out."

Meghan's teacher called me today.  Meghan had a blonde moment in school today.  All the kids were getting ready to go outside. The class got a little wild and Ms. S said Meghan was in line waiting to go outside.  She said she looked at Meghan and rubbed her arms (Meghan had a short sleeve shirt on today).  Ms. S then put her coat hood on....which Meghan tried to do, but Meghan realized she didn't have her coat on......Meghan laughed and went into the hall to retrieve her coat:)   Ms. S was trying to get Meghan to figure out on her own she didn't have her coat on to go outside....Meghan finally figured it out:) 

~~what's new~~

~First I have to say Happy Birthday Dad (aka Papa)!!! We already called and sang happy birthday to him but I wanted tell him on here too!! We love you!!
I was talking to the girls about Papa's birthday and Jenna asked if she could go to his birthday party....
~Meghan called me this week!!! This meant that she finally remembered our home phone number at school. Her teacher Ms. S told us we would get a call once the kids learned their phone numbers, but it still took me by surprise! I have never spoken to Meghan on the phone and her voice sounds so tiny on the phone. The numbers over here have 11 digits in them and you have to dial all of them to call out.
~Jenna is no longer a thumb sucker!! We are still applying the polish, but she hasn't slipped and is doing great!! She really has changed since she stopped....grown up a little!
~Rob bought a Martin guitar this past weekend! He is very excited and it's one he had on his "wish list"! We got an awesome deal on it and will go pick it up this coming weekend!
~ I finally saw Twilight!!! I loved it and can't wait until the next movie comes out.
