Snowed In...

Were snowed in today. We cant get out of our driveway the snow is so deep. The plows made one sweep late this a.m. Eric's dad tried plowing and slid off his driveway into the ditch. Numerous people showed up from the neighborhood to help but they cant get him out. He also blew a tire when he hit the culvert. So I am not real sure when we will get plowed out. We have a big driveway and we dont have a snow blower so I guess we have to wait to see what happens. Owen has a doctors appt tomorrow in the afternoon so I hope we get out. Plus I have to go to work. Eric said its really slippery out, lots of black ice. I got presents wrapped, cards addressed and chili made. The fire is keeping us warm today as the wind picks up and it starts getting colder.

Ready for Christmas!

Well I was complaining earlier in the week and weekend that I was not ready for Christmas or decorating. I had no motivation to pull out the decorations for Christmas. This morning Eric went out hunting and Owen and I got enough energy to pull out the decorations and decorate the house. It looks pretty but I must say I am still not in the mood. I think its the lack of snow which I am very happy we don't have but it doesn't set the mood for Christmas very well. So I am sure I will regret this but a little snow would be nice... especially if its going to be cold.

I got most of my shopping done. A few more little things and I should be all set. I am not looking forward to any more shopping now that's its getting closer to Christmas. It just means lots of traffic and lots of lines. I have done most of my shopping on-line which works well.

Happy Birthday Grams and Nikki

Happy Birthday to Grandma (yesterday) and me today! I cant belive I am 25 today. I dont know why but that freaks me out.

Mom took Owen overnight (his first sleepover) on Friday and we ended up staying home and ordering food. Saturday Eric had to coach Basketball so we were out and about all day running errands after the game.

Saturday night Laura came over to watch Owen and we went out to dinner and a movie. We had a really nice time.

I got a new kitchen sink and a new toilet and flooring for our master bathroom for my Birthday. It looks so nice. Andy came and installed it all yesterday, of course something easy took longer than expected.

A True Boy!

Owen is definatly a true all american boy! He has so many bumps and bruises. He ran into the bathroom door frame and has a big bruise on his cheek. He has one under his eye too from trying to climb in a basket. Good thing he is tough. I will try and post a picture later today.
