R.I.P. Red

This morning we lost our loving, little fish Red. Red has been with us for a little over a year, which I believe is around 80 in fish years. Red was spunky and funny. He loved his little cave and enjoyed picking on his brother quite frequently. Over the past week he has not been well, and this morning Mommy watched as little Red "passed on". Take care, little friend. We'll miss you.

Yummy! Yummy! In the tummy!!

Yesterday the Girlie celebrated her first Valentine party. The class had cookies with icing, chips, marshmallow hearts, and juice. Yummy! Yummy! The kids also exchanged Valentine's in their little decorated bags. It was nice getting to meet some of the other moms and watching the children's excitement over the treats! So glad the Girlie could go!!!!

A Snow Day?!

5:40 Am: The phone rang out to awaken Mommy from her toasty slumber to inform her that schools were closed due to "inclement weather". Inclement weather? So Mommy proceeded to peek out the window to view this said weather only to find:

Yes that is only 1/2 inch of snow on the ground! Mommy decided that she and the Girlie would have a fantabulous snow day together! Let's go outside and build a snowman!!! Upon getting Mommy and Girlie all bundled up to go outside, the Girlie didn't even last five minutes! (hey she might be mine after all ;) )

Well the snow isn't exactly snowman material. Not only is there not enough of it, but it is the fine, powdery snow that does not pack well. However Mommy was not discouraged! After taking the Girlie back inside and getting her all undressed again, Mommy went back out into the "elements" to make the Girlie a snowman!

What do you expect? It is North Carolina.

Congrats!

Props to the Herbert brothers for their win of the best Doritos Super Bowl commercial!!!!
