blizzard 2011.....

I heard from my internet friend Shanda that 1 day last week was national choc cake day. So....in honor of choc cake day, we made carrot cake. ;) with cream cheese frosting.

YuMmY!!!!

I have been CrAvInG carrot cake for QuIte a while now and since we celebrated my Mom's bday last week, I made one. FiNaLlY.

And.

It.

wAs.

GoOd.

Since this cake was full of carrots AND walnuts, it can't be ThAt bad for you right?!


I am very very sad to announce that my absolutely MoSt favorite coffee cup has been broken. I was doing laundry the other night and heard a crash coming from the kitchen right above the laundry room. I immediately had that sinking feeling and knew it wasn't good. Hunny was doing the dishes and.....well......you know what happened next.

He said that he was going to TRY to fix it before I found out, but couldn't get it. And he figured I just might notice a handle missing off my cup. ;)

I can't wait to go shopping for a new cup!! =)



In other news........

We have gotten just a LiTtLe bit of snow....Just a LiTtle.

I think I heard reports of 13.8 inches. I think we could use a couple more inches. I mean what's a couple more when you already have 13?

I know our family could use a couple more snow days!!

We went out in the middle of the storm last night and attempted to shovel part of the mess. It was of course pointless cuz by the time we were done, you could barely tell where we started. But we had fun, and it made me miss Joe and Steph. I was remembering the time that we all shoveled....I mean played in the snow.....1 night during a snow storm.




Brother was up at 6:30 this morning and by 7:30 was already ready to go play.



Which he and Sissy did.



The snow is very pretty today.



A perfect morning for pancakes and coffee. A perfect day for a big ol pot of homemade chicken noodle soup simmering on the stove.

Hunny was told yesterday not to come in to work till 11:30. Since we can't get out of the alley Hunny's dad came and picked him up. They made it to work only to find out that it's closed and he doesn't have to work. So Yah!!! He's on his way home!!

I lOvE snow days!!!!

Let's all hope and pray for another one tomorrow!!!!

I am so grateful for the safety that God has granted everyone during the storm. I know that people have been stranded on roads and in safe shelters, but I haven't heard of serious injuries or deaths due to the storm. That's a blessing!
