What a month

This has been a crazy month, so sorry for not updating in while. Work has been busy, go figure. We have two girls that have been on vacation for the last two weeks so alot of overtime has been earned.

Holidays+drunks=busy Andrea

It doesn't help that it has snowed almost 2 feet the last two weeks. The kids love the snow, Cody loves the snow and Andrea does not like the snow. As some of you may remember many, many, many years ago I totalled my first car in a snow storm. Luckily without serious injury to me, the car was another story. Something about hitting a bus bench, telephone pole, 7-11 sign, a few shrubs...

Since that night I have been scared to death of driving in the snow. Needless to say, I have not been driving alot. Thank goodness for no school and Cody being home.

Cody has been working steady except for the last week. He has been home playing with the kids and letting me sleep. Thank you sweety!

The kids must have been good this year because Santa brought everything that they wanted and some. Mason and Alexa got a Nintendo DS, Austin got an AT-ET Walker (starwars ship) and they all got many other presents.

FYI-Moon Sand is very messy! We went through playdough so fast that "Santa" thought let's get Moon Sand. What a joke! Within minutes all the colors were blended into gray. Bad purchase.

I am thankful that my husband got me a Shark sweeper vac for Christmas. That thing sucks up sand and everything else. I also got the Shark steam mop. Love it!!

We haven't made it out to see family yet, due to the weather and work schedule, but hope to be able to soon. My dad, Marnae and Logan came up on Christmas Eve to see us. That was great! The kids love seeing them and so do I.

I am still working on learning PhotoShop in all my spare time, which is very limited. Pictures will be posted shortly.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and continue with a Happy New Year!

That was a fun visit. It was great seeing the kids open our gifts and the smiles they had were priceless. You need to tell the story of 'Dual Bag'. That was one of the funniet coincidences I can remember.

A vacuum and a mop, wow!!! Is that like double dual-bag!
Actually, they sound like wonderful gifts. I guess thats what happens when you get older and wiser, you appreciate vacuums and mops!
It was fun to see you on Christmas Eve.
