potd 1/3-1/9

we are expecting snow. but it hasn't started yet. should have been here by now. xander is having a conniption (is that how you spell that?) fit because gwinnett county hasn't called off school yet. he is really worried.
but while i am waiting for it to start let's get going with my new goal...

1/3 monday
back to work for me! kids came to school with me today while i worked and cleaned in the classroom. and then came home to clean our house. putting away all the christmas stuff can be sad. i took a picture of the boxes all stacked up. they are ready to go upstairs and stored in the attic. but i thought it would be funny to photograph the boxes, because one day x & c are going to look at the picture and remember the decorations we would put up at christmas time. they may even laugh because some of the same boxes and decorations are still around.

1/4 tuesday
back to school. xander was not happy and said he didn't feel well. poor kid and his nerves. funny when it affects him, but on the baseball diamond is not one of those times.

1/5 wednesday
we started a tradition 3 or 4 years ago...when we take down the christmas tree we have a snowball fight. snowballs? okay, we have a marshmallow fight. we have to do something fun to to keep from being sad that all the decorations are put away and the season is over.
(that is my mom behind xander and rachel was safely sitting in the kitchen)

1/6 thursday
what happened on thursday? not much evidentally.

1/7 friday
the picture i should have gotten today would have been picking karen up at the airport, or surprising my mom and rachel by bringing karen to the house! YEAH good surprise! or karen with my kids or even all of us together. but none of those happened.
karen did get one of my kids drinking their QT slushies. I'll have to get that one from her.
but i caught a picture of cassidy making brownies. she is always happy to help cook!


1/8 saturday
we hit old navy and got some great deals! love a sale.
we also ate a stevi b's...oh, so much pizza.
but not picture today.

1/9 sunday
as i've been sitting here typing the the snow has started. in the last 1o minutes it has gone from cloudy night to snow storm. the flakes are coming down hard and the ground is already covered. i woke xander to let him know that gwinnett was closed, thanks to a text from rachel. and he got up to look at the snow. now he is laying next to me on the bed. todd was a good guy and went and took my potd for me. here is the first snow of the year. (technically the first snow we had of the winter was in 2010 in december, so this is the first of 2011). pictures tomorrow! fyi, karen barely made it out of atlanta's hartsfield jackson airport. her story was pretty funny (now that it is over) and amazingly the pilot was able to take off at 1:40. this picture was taken at 10:30 or so. visibility was pretty bad. thank you to the pilot and crew that got her home safely.
