Enjoying the Snow!

Our granddaughter is enjoying the snow.She didn't want to come in.She has outgrown her winter boots so new boots and gloves are needed for this kind of weather.We haven't seen this much snow from one storm in a few years.

Our Winter Storm..Let It Snow!

Took this picture about an hour ago.Hubby Ken is bringing our dog Bub back inside after a walk.We have received 16 inches of snow since the storm started around 1:30 yesterday afternoon.

So glad we were back home from picking up our grandson after school before the snow started to come down.They were on a planned early release since it was the end of the grading period and the last day of school before their Christmas break.

Our dog Bub is 12 now and really enjoys the snow.He would have stayed out there longer but Ken was ready to head back inside.

Isn't This The Cutest Thing!

My grandson Jeremy made this in school a few weeks ago and this is the first opportunity that I have it to use it.It is snowing here.This is our first snowfall of the season.I measured 4 inches of snow at 10 AM.Measured again a few minutes ago.We are now up to 5 inches of snow and it continues to fall.The National Weather Service was predicting 2-4 inches of snow today.We have surpassed that amount and the snow continues to fall:)

Just glad we don't have to get out in it since I don't care to drive in snow and ice.Hope we can have at least a little snow for Christmas!

Inside of Musical Snowman Ornament

This is a picture of the inside of the musical snowman ornament.

My Snowman

I have decided to start a collection of snowmen this Christmas season.This is a find that I found over the Thanksgiving weekend.It is a musical snowman that opens up.I am so happy with this find.I got it for only $5.They are sold on QVC in a set of 4 of different musical ornaments.I found this at a store that sells QVC closeouts.Since this set of ornaments is new on QVC this season I am thinking that maybe some sets got broken up and this local closeout store is able to sell them individually.I love my musical snowman!

Oh,To Be Young Again!!

Our grandson Jeremy's intermediate school had a Halloween party on Friday.There were two huge inflatables provided by the PTO.They were placed outside of the school.

I am showing a picture of the larger inflatable.The children in grades 3-5 had a blast on the two inflatables.Our grandson struggled some climbing up the rope ladder to go down the slide.He has weak muscle tone.He had the biggest grin coming down the slide area after conquering the rope ladder.I stood there camera ready to capture the picture.His granddaddy and another mother were encouraging him as he struggled on the rope ladder.We were all so proud of him the way he kept trying so hard to accomplish the goal of going down the slide area.At first he wasn't going to do it but got up the courage to try and is so glad that he did it.The smile on his face tells it all.His classmates and teacher all congratulated him conquering the rope ladder.

After having fun on the inflatables,each grade level had time alone in the gym for refreshments and Halloween music.All of the children were dressed in their Halloween costumes which made for a festive time.The PTO provided orange ice cream floats and decorated cookies for the children.They were allowed to run around in the gym and have a wonderful time together.I got warm fuzzies watching the children having so much fun:)

My Granddaughter is Growing Up

I took this picture this evening when we took both grandchildren out to eat at a locally owned pizza place.They both look forward to this weekly meal out together with Ken and me.

Granddaughter Mariah is growing up.Hard to believe that a week from today she will be turning 5.These years have flown by.So glad she is actually wanting to smile and pose for pictures now.Back a few months ago whenever she saw a camera she would either hide her face or frown.Glad she is cooperating with my cameras now.It makes for a very happy Nana!
