Snow day!

I thought I would never say that I am grateful for a repair bill, especially one for $240.00, but today I am. I am a worrier, I hate it, but I am. So, when I woke up to 2 feet of snow outside our bedroom door, I started worrying about Cache's 45 minute commute to work. Well, he wasn't meant to leave because the garage door would not open, not even manually and there was no way for him to get his car out. After some tweaks and some pounding the door was in worse shape that when we started. A repairman had to be called and Cache would be stuck at home to enjoy the continuous snow fall-I secretly rejoiced and my worrying heart relaxed.

Here is one of my happy mom moments from the day, I came into the living room and this is what was there to greet me:

And this is what was in the handle-bar:
This happy mom moment wasn't from today and the picture wasn't taken by me it was taken by Cache at about 11:30 at night, and Peanuthead was fast asleep with this on her head:

This is the place state park
I was trying to make this picture look old.

Halloween in July-Finley
another old attempt

I took this picture right after I got my camera and I didn't know
how to use it yet. There was a really bad color cast and I can't get rid of it
but I like the composition. her coloring looks like a corpse.
Peanuthead's sweet and sassy 5th birthday.

I love 9-12 church, it leaves the whole day to play. I have been fooling around on photoshop and having some fun. These pictures aren't pro, but I am learning.

cold!

I am grateful for the snow, but today I am longing for warm weather.

Gamin' around

Our family loves games, and we love finding new ones. My Aunt gave us this game last summer and we love it. We play it for almost every FHE.

It is easy enough for Fin to play but it has enough strategy that Peanuthead likes it too. The person with the least amount of moose in their house at the end of game wins.

Friends!

Aren't friends great? Cache and I desperately needed a night out away from worries, stresses and the life of the unknowns. Because of some great friends we were able to have fun and relax.

We enjoyed dinner at Harry's and afterward went to the movie Bucket List (a very good and funny movie, it receives my recommendation)

poor cache all by himself.

This was my first attempt at merging two photos to create a panorama. It was so much fun!

Thanks Guys! It was a lot of fun. Thank to my parents too for watching the kids even though it was kind of a late night.

A Mother's Moment

I love when kids do things that make you smile and feel so proud to be their mother. Aside from Fin refusing to pee in the toilet and insist on using the floor as his latrine, he gave me a wonderful moment today. I usually don't let the kids play on the piano unless I am with them (I know I am stifling their musical abilities), but today I was in my bedroom and heard Fin gently pounding the ivories and singing "I am a Child of God" it made me smile and I ran for the camera.
