So, just as I was going to start this post, I "put two and two together" about why Bing's photo of the day is of Mount Rushmore. I. am. an. idiot. When I opened (is that the right word) the internet this morning, I noticed the picture of Mount Rushmore at bing.com and I was wondering to myself why? and more importantly....why wasn't there any snow at Mount Rushmore, and my mind continued on that path... wondering if the Black Hills have any snow (they should)...and maybe I should look up their weather conditions, etc....on and on. And then it dawned on me. DUH! For President's Day! So, it looks like I might have an interesting day if this is how my brain is going to process things today!
So, I'm enjoying a long weekend because our daycare and Kinder Kollege are both closed today and we're in the middle of another winter storm warning, with decent snow coming down right now. Ella has already destroyed the house - almost every portion of the living room & her bedroom are covered with stuff, which I'm told I can not move because she's using it. Playing "family" and "going to Florida" I'm pretty sure that's a hint....
Yesterday after church we took a Sunday drive (because we're old) and drove around stalking the neighborhood where we want to move. :) Half the neighborhood was out blowing snow, so I figure we should just start waving, stopping by for chats, etc. Make ourselves friendly. Except, maybe we should warn Ella that it's not likely we are going to find any pink houses to live in. This might be devastating for her. And did you know there are builders in our area building single family homes without basements - like none. Slab. What is the world? I think that's annoying.
Did you know Bode Miller is 36? (He's the alpine skier if you haven't been watching the Olympics). When they said that, I thought to myself, jeez, he's old! Then I realized, wait...I'm 35. Shit.
Ella had a great time at the Valentine's party on Friday. She got loads of valentines from her classmates & teachers. We went out for heart shaped (delicious) pizza at Green Mill on Friday night. :)
I mustache you to be my Valentine...
The Queen of Hearts!
We enjoyed heart shaped strawberry pies!
(we also made some for some special valentines)
And Ella opened her Valentine from us
She's pretty pumped that we're going to Disney on Ice in a few weeks!
Sunday afternoon, Ella and Jay added some more fun to her snow slide. A little cave!
Happy President's Day!
