Surprise, Surprise!

Got a phone call at 6:30 am from Jefferson School district stating that school had been cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. So I got off the phone and turned on the news...4 inches of snow in most places plus a wind of 30 miles an hour. School are closing all over the place. So I thought I'd check on the animals. Every pet accounted for and doing well.

I opened the front door to find snow every where...the kids are loving and are begging to go play outside. Maybe later this afternoon when the winds die down. As for right now, it's a indoor kinda day. Not planning on running all my errands like I had wanted too. Not worth it to drive with crummy road conditions. David Sr.  is suppose to be heading home today, I hope he is careful in his travels. Well Gizzy Mo is throwing a fit and wants back inside....so until next time. Everyone stay warm and enjoy this lovely Tuesday.  

It went away...then it came back!

The snow just doesn't want to leave...it melts away...then the sky opens up and more flakes fall. This afternoon it rained and rained....what a surprise I got when I opened the door to feed the cats. SNOW. AGAIN. 
Why can't we just have a normal spring...you know rain, mud puddles, partial sunny days full of breezes. Not snow...snow...and more snow. If you haven't noticed I'm not the biggest fan of snow. Don't get me wrong, I love the look and feeling the white fluffy stuff brings but I'm just ready for summer to come. Being able to play in the park with out heavy coats and boots. I'm thinking that Boots, our cat, is also ready for summer. He kept trying to come inside...even with his food in front of him. Poor Frosty, our other cat, wouldn't leave the shelter of her cat house. She isn't fond of this wet white stuff floating everywhere. Well happy April everyone!!! Maybe we'll have the good fortune of fuller river's and streams this year when it all melts away. :o) I guess we can find a positive in anything...when we have too! :P

Look at all those snowflakes falling around our little boots...I wasn't willing to walk all the way out into it and feed him in his dish, so I just dumped his food in the snow. I'm sure he won't mind! :)

Happy Easter

       It's Easter time already, so far 2010 has just flown by. I'm so amazed by how quickly time flies. We spent the weekend at Granny & Papa's. The kids loved the sleep over, in fact they really didn't want to go home. Mommy however needed to get home and get laundry going and get stuff ready for Monday. 
       The Easter Bunny was able to come and visit the kids, everyone was so happy to see him, well everyone except Khandi Kane! She was TOTALLY freaked out. She was screaming and totally panicking. The moment the easter bunny walked through the door she took off into the kitchen. That poor little girl has always been terrified of him, I wonder if it'll ever change. Maybe next year!!!! 
       David Sr. wasn't able to make it home for Easter, he is still working in California. The kids and I really really missed him. I think it helped the kids staying at Granny's place. I honestly felt lost with out David by my side, he is such a help to me...we are the best team! So without him...I just didn't get everything accomplished that I wanted and I didn't get any photo's. Thank heavens for family, they all had their cameras so I'll have to go and borrow memory cards and then download them on my computer. :o) When I get those pictures, I'll gladly post!!!  
So Happy Easter everyone, may your day be a nice an peaceful one.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We have been having some totally crazy April weather, it's like the Heavens played a big April Fools joke on the land. We thought spring was on it's way...the snow was gone and the normal spring showers were here. Then suddenly out of no where, Snow! It all happen yesterday...we awoke to winds and rain..then hail....then snow, back to rain, then snow...then a thunderstorm, in the middle of the snow storm. Very strange! Then everything stopped...just muddy puddles from the snow melting..then closer to the evening it began to snow, it snowed...and snowed...and snowed! Lets just say we could bring out the winter boots and sleds. Time for frolicking in the snow! And to just think, I just packed all the winter boots and coats away. The joys of living in the Western United States. Crazy weather all year round.
We're now just wondering, will it be gone by Saturday?? Our Hansen Annual Easter Egg hunt will be on Saturday. We're thinking kids will be hunting eggs in the snow...unless we find a building big enough for 12 rug rats to race around and find brightly colored eggs filled with goodies.
One thing is for sure, I'm sure the "player" of the Easter Bunny won't mind the cool breeze coming from this lovely weather. I've heard it get's a little hot in all that fur! :o) My only disappointment is that I haven't a photo to post so you could see all the fluffy white covering the trees and ground. My camera is not with me...darn it all. Maybe later! :o)
