Just needed

a little warmth and beach time. It has been unseasonally cold here. I know for the rest of you it isn't a big deal but it is supposed to be warm here in the Carolinas. It hasn't been. I am not supposed to have to warm my car up in the morning or wear a winter coat for months on end!!! So, I am pretending I am at the beach presently! Hope Evan doesn't bring snow.

As most of you know, I like to talk. Somehow that never translates to paper. I now rely on others to say it for me...

Snow day activities

Our cheese factory that we built today. All those people in line are waiting for free cheese samples.
We built a snowboarding course for all the playmobil people, notice the tight hairpin turn!

I got to wear my boots!!!

Snow day in North Carolina!!! If you can't tell, we got 2 inches...followed by sleet and freezing rain which kind of ruined the fun.

The early a.m. look of our backyard.

Declan having a snack. There wasn't much fun to be had, the snow was hard and icy.


Our lovely house in the snow....

No school on Monday...yea!

Mushroom harvest

Rich got mushrooms for Christmas and we have had our first harvest. Nice to have some fresh, homegrown food in the middle of winter! They are yummy!
