Visions Of Sugar Danced in Their Heads

Our annual gingerbread house and cookie making day .

Whoever said "sugar does not create hyperactivity was so WRONG "

after this shot Amanda was done ... "I can't do this any more " What you cant see is her dancing in the seat and fidgeting around so much that she only decorated half of her sheet ...

and out side she went to play .

Jaren just loved doing the house and could care less about the cookies ,

So Mommy finished them ...

Mocha Peppermint Yummyness

Normally I'm a regular plain ol' coffee kinda girl . no vanilla , no mocha , but OM GOODNESS!!! This is SO good .

SNOW in ARIZONA - YUP!!!

10 GLORIOUS TONS OF PURE SNOW !!!!

The kids school had a WINTER carnival this past weekend , Boy what fun !!!

I must admit this made me a little "home " sick for the white stuff , but not to shovel the darn stuff at the end of the drive way .

The silence of freshly fallen snow is incredible .

To be out alone clearing the driveway and in the distance you can hear the gentle scrape of someone elses shovel and just when you think your done the Dang plow comes thru.GRRR .

Ice chunks , dirt slush is the reality the next day .

But anyways as for AZ snow we had a blast even if it only lasted a few hours .

The Kids Christmas Concerts

Amanda sang , Deck The Hall , Here We Come A-Wassailing , Rudolph ,The Red Nosed Reindeer ... What a great performance , they really gave it their all . Jaren sang, Jingle Bells, Must Be Santa, The Snowman... What a proud moment .

The other day she came down for school with pants that in my days were called Hi-waters, 5 minutes before we needed to leave but, we improvised and rolled up the cuff *poof* instant capri 's . thank goodness it's the ~stYLe ~ Needless to say the next day Mom went pants shopping . Oiy ! right before the holidays of course . We now have some pants that fit . Then I went out to pick the money tree cause I also needed to get some for J , he is out growing his pants length wise too . Well I am glad they are happy , healthy , growing children .

Power color

Your Power Color Is Gold

You're dependable and hard working. You never miss a deadline - and you're never late. You have a clear sense of right and wrong. You're very detail oriented. You get frustrated when your friends and family are sloppy - or when they don't follow through. You're on top of things, and you wish that everyone else was!

What's Your Power Color?

Ya, that sounds like me a little.
