Winter Wonderland

We started the weekend off with our first Christmas Party for this year. We had a blast playing games with the gifts. We started off trying to play the game where you read the story and pass the gifts as it says... the kids were very confused. They kept following them around the circle and unwrapping them as we passed. It was hilarious.

This is what the children got. They loved them but....

Why buy them toys when they can play with the boxes!

 

Snuggie... be warm in a blanket and still have your hands FREE. There was electric tooth brushes in there too.

 

Foot massage thing and a facial hair trimmer.

 

Yes I finally got a jewelry box... now I can take it all out of my suitcase. Casey got a gift certificate for the movies!

But best of all was the laughter!

Thanks for a Great Party!!!

.... Then there was snow!

 

It was beautiful today. I took Hercules on walk this morning after being trapped inside all day yesterday he really needed it. He had tons of fun running in the snow. Even though it was as deep as he is tall. They are saying we got about 16 inches in this storm.

As we were walking back I couldn't help but notice all the people out shoveling. It wasn't just their side walks, it was there cars. They were all trapped in. I laughed when I passed this guys and thought too bad for him.

Well little did I know....

 umm.. ya my car is in there somewhere. I just know it!!

Maryland just doesn't know what to do when it snows. Everything was canceled!! Even our church activities!

Here Fishy Fishy Fishy

Somewhere in the recent history of our adventure in MaRyLaNd, the National Aquarium of Baltimore had a $1 day.

Casey was so excited for this... Sometimes he enjoyed it more than the kids... and then there were the points where he was extremely glad that it only cost us a dollar.

This used to be a very large fish.... and stands as proof that we have friends with us here. :)

The picture just doesn't give this wall justice.... Trust me it was cool

I caught him playing with my ear.... weird! (we were waiting for everyone to catch up)

Baltimore Harbor from the bridge thing we were on. It was actually snowing! I thought I would never EVER say this... but I miss the snow!

And last but not least. My favorite part. The Dolphins!

The aquarium was fun, but everything is always more fun when its CHEAP! The Harbor was pretty one of these days when the weather is pretty we will go down and take some good pictures.

Hey!! Can I Get a DiEt?

Dear Diet Coke.... Well its actually Pepsi, but Coke has the better name.... anyway, Dear Diet Coke. It has been 7 days 8 hours and 23 minutes since I last tasted of your sweetness.  Your taste is so delicious and satisfying. I already miss the feel of your soft bubbles running down my throat...  but it is not right to have this much control over my cravings. I want brownies, cookies, candy, chocolate anything but do they bring the satisfaction that you do? NO.  I have come to find out over these 7 days 8 hours and 23 minutes that nothing, NOTHING can come in your place. And one day, yes one day I will win this battle with my hubby and we can be together once again. Until then. Goodbye!

P.S.... I've got a plan for today. It wont be long. If you could just wait 4 more hours. I could hold you in my arms. Wish me luck!
