Our Bright Idea

So it's Friday night, and Emma is sleeping over at her friends house. Scott and I are all alone...... so what to do????????? We went and got tatoos. Mine is on my left ankle

And Scott's is on his left arm. I can't believe that we did it. Maybe I shouldn't let Emma sleep over at her friends houses :)

Tiny Dancer

The weather has turned around again, and it has been so nice. We can't believe it is already wednesday. Dancing is over again for this week. The dances are shaping up nicely. They are dancing to "Everyday" from High School Musical for ballet; for jazz they are dancing to "Do You Love Me"; tap is the fun one this year, they are dancing to "Spice Girls", and choo choo papa is making the guitars that they are going to be using.

Here's a picture of the little knuckle head after dancing.................

TGIF

Thank god it's Friday. It has been a very long week. And a wild one weather wise for us at that. One day it is 85 and the next they are predicting snow. One day we are sleeping with the windows open the next we have to turn the heat pump back on. Emma had a busy week this week. She had spring pictures on Thursday (yes she and I battled over clothes again............. Momma won this time). They started their tap dance, and found out that they are going to be using guitars (thank you choo choo papa for offering to make them for us) with sunglasses and baseball caps, and yes, I volunteered to put everyone initials on the hats in rhinestones...... hey I'm not the room mom this year, give me a break, I have to get involved some how.

The second grad is also putting on the famous Americans play on March 27. Emma was so excited that she got a speaking role this time....... she is going to be Pochaontas. WAHOO, she was so giddy last night with excitement, it does mean she has to memorize her lines, but she will do fine. And for all the Buffalo family, it means that we have a chance to try out the new video camera, so you all can actually see something she is doing. She also has a field trip coming up in April to the zoo again.

I have been so busy at work, and so has Scott. Last night, I was reviewing some documents for a deposition today, while Emma and Scott were watching Survivor..... this is her being her silly self, she needs a hair cut so badly :)

What a difference a couple days make

So after a couple snow days.... this is what our front yard looks like now......

The sun is back out, and the snow has almost all melted. Maybe now my flowers can start growing again...... Nana isn't it time for you to come down and fix all my gardens so pretty again???????

Just plain wore out

Emma was just plain wore out when I picked her up from the YMCA yesterday. The little girl who never falls asleep was out so cold in the back seat she was snoring!!!!!!!!!! It is amazing what one little day at the Y will do to these kids. They enjoyed sledding, snowball fights, building snowmen. Today it is back to school alebit 2 hours late, but they are back. Needless to say by tomorrow all the snow will be gone and it will be 70 degrees.

Snow Day Part III

So we are on day 3 of snow days. The weather is just freezing, and the kids had off again today. As a matter of fact, we knew yesterday that school was cancelled today... We still have dancing tonight, and school has already been delayed by 2 hours for tomorrow morning. Needless to say it is supposed to be 70 degrees on Friday....... I am guessing all this crap will melt and we can go back to spring. Did Scott and I ever mention we HATE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

A VA snowstorm

So we had our first snowstorm here in VA since 2002. Emma and I had a snow day and got to play at home. We had a snowball fight and she terrorized the dogs with the snow. Jumping on the tramp was really funny as it was sooo slippery. Lady wasn't too sure of the snow at first, but by the end of the day she was rolling around outside in it.

At 4:00 last night we got the call that school was cancelled for today. I went to take Em to the YMCA this morning, but there was a note on the door that they didn't open until 9:30.... So off to work with Momma she went. Doesn't look like she is working too hard.............................

After today, I am thinking she won't want to be a paralegal anymore!!!!! Stay warm
