It Snowed!!!

Okay so it wasn't like the awesome snows in upper states but hey I will take what I can here in C-bad!!! So this morning I exitedly woke the kids up to tell them that it had snowed and after 45 min. of getting them ready to go outside and play. I was ready for a half day outside!!! The kids didn't agree with my plans though and after 7 min. outside we came in for hot cocoa and marshmallows. Hopefully when the kids get older they will want to play in the snow as much as their momma!

The tiny bit of snow we got!!

Star Wars and My New Obsession!!!

Lately I have been having the hardest time getting the boys to do their chores. I'm not quite sure if its the new house or the fact that 1/3 of our house is still packed and so they see that around and decide: "Hey if mommy is not cleaning why should we??" So we decided to do a chore chart and if they complete their chores everyday at the end of the week they will get a prize. I know I'm basically buying my kids but hey it worked and I'm going to stick to it. Even little Isaac is doing his chores. So what was their reward for the week??

These awesome Storm Trooper outfits from Wal-Mart for only $2.50. I love wally world.

Moving on to my new obsession. I have been craving ice like none other. Yes that's right just plain crunchy ice. So everyday the boys and I load up and head to Sonic (b/c nobody hops like Sonic) and buy three Superman drinks (ocean waters) and a Route 44 cup of Sprite. But here is my specific order. "I need a Route 44 sprite with extra extra ice. Actually can you just make it mainly ice and a tiny bit of sprite. Enough for like three sips." Now at first the car hops thought I was crazy and would look at me like I'm crazy but now I get these wonderful cup full of delicious crunchy ice with three sips of sprite. Just looking at these pics are making my mouth water. Only 40 min. till happy hour and the boys and I will once again load up the van and get our usual.
