The Ice has Arrived

We woke up this morning to a very icy outdoors, no snow just ice. It was pretty funny going out to get the paper this morning, but I successfully made it without slipping 🙂  Thank goodness we got everything done yesterday, I don’t think I will be going out any time too soon.

How is your weather today? Did you wake up to wintry weather too?

Sleepy Saturday

With the sounds of the rain, and the fact that both boys were up all night, I could not wake up this morning. Once again proving that Nico really isn’t a morning person. Once I finally got up and going I popped some Cinnamon Rolls in the oven, and called it good.  Thade didn’t want to try them, so he was happy to have Lucky Charms, hubby was pretty happy though 🙂

We don’t have the snow or ice just yet, but it is freezing cold. We might be taking the boys out today to go and see Santa Claus, this is going to be an interesting trip. This will be the first time that we have braved this task for either child, so we really don’t know how they will react.  I think Thade will like going, because he can tell Santa everything that he wants for Christmas, but Dylan no way, he is not too fond of new people. We’ll see how the day goes 😉

Yes! I beat the weather :)

This rarely happens to me, it seems that every time I’m out to go shop the nasty weather catches me. Today I actually ran all of my errands before the ice hit 🙂 James was off early today, and filled up my car, and brought home lunch too. I wasn’t feeling too well, darn migraine, so he picked up an iced coffee too. He is too sweet, and it really helped. We both decided that it was way too cold to get Dylan out, so he volunteered to stay home and watch the boys while I shopped.

I got by the Post Office, Walgreens, Wood’s, and it started sleeting just as I pulled into Wal-Mart. I shopped as quickly as I could, and headed on home. It is freezing outside, and it looks like snow is on its way. I got everything stocked up, just in case we get snowed in. I also picked up a few Christmas snacks for my stockpile, and two cute birthday cards for my super-sweet Sister-in-law. Her birthday is next week, so I had better get the cards in the mail soon.

I hope that everybody has a great weekend, and stays warm 🙂

Brrrr! Here comes the cold

Today seems to be the last day that the weather will be semi-nice for about a week, so we are getting next week’s errands run today. It looks like the ice will hit tomorrow and turn into snow by Monday. Looks like the kiddos and I will be in for quite a while. Here is the plan for today:

  • Grocery shop at Wal-Mart
  • Shop at Walgreens
  • Go to the Post Office
  • Gas up my car (it handles a little better in the ice)

I think that is all for the errands, I hope we can beat the weather 😉
