No matter how prepared i am, the first snowfall always makes me feel a tad under the gun to get the Christmas chopping done *lol* Even though this year, i almost have all the kids gifts, and Mike and i are taking whatever is left from the christmas money to buy a camera :)
So, i don't feel too stressed. Of course when you wake up to the first snow, it's very calming really, until the oldest child calls out "daddy! Mommy! wake up! It's awesome! Its SNOW!! I need clothes! I need to go outside!"
Oi! I need coffee :P heeheeehee
so today, we drop the kids off with Mamaw and Poppa and head off to Ny for some God Only knows reason :) It's actually for Superbowl we chaperone it every year, i think I have been to every one for the last ........ oh ..... 7-9 years? WOW, i am a glutton for punishment. LOL It is alot of fun, and this year, we have 80 kids .....yes EIGHTY!! Thats like, one stuffed premiere bus, plus numerous church vans and mini vans, an lots of crazy adults too! :) I am very excited, ths year we could have one of the biggest groups in albany, its the biggest group we have ever brought anyway. Also, we got too big for our normal bowling alley stop, and then for the next thing they set us up for, so, now we are hitting a mini-golf, arcade place. That's between the 4 hour Hockey game/ rally, and the post-midnight rollerderby/ lazertag madness. i am tired thinking about it. :) OH and I also get to meet the Infamous MANDERS! She is Dave's current female object of affection. I hear she is a doll, and a crazy kid, and a very strong christian taboot, can't wait to meet the chick. heehehehheee! I think i will save her a seat next to ME! :)
One more note of interest, last night was my first ever parent teacher conference (which of course was fine, since Prek has no grades or anything LOL) but as i waited for my turn, i found this sign outside the door. Precious! :)

I forgot about Thanksgiving and Black Friday and all that...lol...we have no turkey plans this year :( ...sigh...
Mmmm...chocolate and vanilla ice cream...I hear ya Grant!! Your a good man! :)
I am sooo glad I'm not where you are! I can see that the mountains that surround me are covered in that white stuff, but thankfully it didn't stick here at my house. And I do believe I see some sunshine. So for now I have been spared. But it's coming... I sense it's ominous approach and the the bitter wind breathing down my neck but as the song goes, "In My Mind I'm Gone to Carolina.."
