White Crap
So we got a little of the white crap.
My poor little garden knome.... I'm beginning to think I should move him inside next to the fireplace. But then again, after losing that damn bowl game, he may have to just represent outside. Not that I'm bitter at all.........
So after weeks of pretty clear and light snow that melts immediately upon hitting the ground days, we had a doozie of a storm push through. We got some white crap on the ground. And it just kept coming all day...
So I got to meet some more neighbors
I had my former nanny come visit me, it was a good visit. If you're a reader of this blog then you know that that nanny saved my bacon when I was battling recovering from surgery and my local after school care program closed. So when we relo-ed adn didn't need our nanny anymore, we kept her. Literally, lol. Her four little ones adore my kids and with six kids running all over this place, it was insane.
We saw some local nature stuff, gysers and hot springs. Then Saturday night it went to hell in a handbasket. Her oldest boy is 5 and that little guy has always been medically challenged. But bless...

Random bits of Griswalding
So we're just living our lives and doing our things. So here is a little bit of an update on how we been staying busy....
Me and my mini-me Princess, hamming it up!
My boy, napping in my damn bed like he owns it.
My date for Valentine's pizza. Gluten - free of course. Yummy. She is a great date.
So the Princess went with her youth group and served dinner to all the church couples at the Vday banquet. She had to be a fancy waitress. I managed to make this hairstyle....

V-day is approaching....
So Dave is gotten be done for Valentine's Day. But never say he's a slacker. Cause he used a routine trip to Walmart to make sure his girls got a little spoiling. We are all the proud owners of big arse bears that smell just like Daddy, thanks to generous squirts of his cologne. (Basically the whole house smells like him now, yummy)
Ignore our horrible buggy habits (and yes it's called a damn buggy people).... but we tend to really enjoy ourselves in public, public opinion be dayumed.
So...

I hate leftovers........so.....
I made a fabulous brisket for dinner. Seriously it was "I'd slap my momma but she hits back" fabulous. Get this, I made that bad boy in the oven too, YO! My kitchen skillz are ramping up there with my bathroom scrubbing skillz now. Dave is so pleased!
But seriously the secret ingredient, red wine is oh so yummy. And since I had a bottle of what appears to extremely expensive red wine, thanks to Dave's boss who thoughtfully brought over some to dinner once.... I had some on hand.
Now what to do, I only used half the bottle in the marinade.......
So I'm stuck with half a bottom of really good...

My Foster Baby
Susie, the sweet dog that Dave rescued that was abandoned at our groomers last week..... well she is a doll. And my foster baby has a new home as of today! So excited. A coworker of Dave's is getting a great dog. I'm gonna miss the little snuggler! Like crazy.
We'd keep her forever, except she hates Murphy. With a vengence. Like some people hate me, cause they just aren't cool. Like I hate people who blames others for their problems. Like Dave hates loud music and glitter. Like Duchess...

Another Friday at the Slopes
My kids are the bomb.com. Dave took today off and we spent it watching our kids plus friend. They skiied from nine to two with a small break to stuff chilli cheese fries in their faces and off they went. And interesting enough, the say started with the teens going along with my new skiier. Except she got faster than them and left them. She got in twice as many runs as they did, lol. More pics and vids coming soon....

I really like the "me" time
Sometimes it really gets nice to have that "me" time. Before Idaho, I can't remember a time when I didn't have to flat our screw my schedule just to get some "me" time. This morning, I got a little pamper thyself time. Yeah, Dave was right.... this just really puts a smile on my face and relaxes me.
Sigh.
Now as fun as this morning was, it's time to go now. I have to go to the school and do the AR reading with the third graders. Peace out ba...

Hail the Baking Goddess
You betta recognize! Okay all horn touting aside, last night was a pretty big nite. Dave's boss and a huge client were over for dinner. Dave thought it'd be better to have them over to our house for dinner than a restaurant. So I spent all afternoon cooking a can't fail dinner:
1. my momma's "make-ya-slap-somebody" jambalaya .... this takes three hours of baby-ing
2. jalapeno cornbread made with cream style corn, cheese and those hot and spicy little peppers we all love so much (don't rub your eyes yo)
3. a salad to end all salads: baby cucumbers, baby tomatoes, snow peas, radishes, broccoli,...
