The Blizzard of 2011

First, I confess that I didn't post anything in January. The truth is that I had a couple of years worth of continuing education to catch up on for my license so nothing exciting happened!

However, this past week the boys and I headed to Kansas City to be housebound with Grammy during the great blizzard of 2011. Grandpa and Dennis were both going out of town for work and it looked like school would be cancelled for most of the week (it was). We got in the car on Sunday afternoon in order to beat the storm which arrived on Monday. My parents got about a foot of snow in one day with very high wind speeds so that the weather service called it a blizzard. The boys had a blast playing with Grammy though and we all survived with smiles on our faces. We returned home on Thursday afternoon to find that we had gotten a couple of inches of ice on EVERYTHING and that our garage door was frozen shut! Dennis missed the entire storm while he was getting some sun in Tampa, however, he paid for it as he spent 45 minutes chipping ice off of his car at the airport when he returned home yesterday!





Cameron and Grammy performing surgery on his stuffed ladybug. Just in case if you need to know, rubbing alcohol works wonders on band-aids that get stuck on stuffed animals!



It's amazing how much fun a bath can be on a snow day!



Check out what Daddy taught Cameron to do . . . can you hear me saying YUCK!! in the background??
