Well another month has come to pass and we're still under two and half feet of the white stuff. I swear I haven't seen the bare ground since Halloween. It has definitely been quite the winter this year. I definitely feel for those on the Eastern Seaboard who've gotten bombarded with snow. So what's been going on with me? Well, I'm an Olympics nut, so I've spent many an evening watching the tv with one eye while working on the computer. I've even drug all the kids into watching it. My middle daughter especially likes it and my youngest daughter says the sky jumpers are crazy. But all in all it's been a fun family event. They even watched the opening ceremonies and we're anxiously waiting to see what the Canadians have planned for the closing ceremony. Personally the hubby is waiting to see Nickelback perform. I'm hoping they do a kick ass job so he's not disappointed.
This last month we also celebrated my youngest's birthday, she's now a big girl at seven years old. Or so she tells me. Now I have two girls begging me to sit in the front seat. I still say no though because of the passenger side air bag and I hear it about it all the time. "Mom all the other kids' parents let their kids!' Which I promptly tell them, I'm not the other kids' mom, I'm yours and until you reach five foot or thirteen, no front seat. (that's actually Iowa law...I checked!) Call me overprotective but I want my kids around for a long while.
Anyway, I've got some wonderful stuff coming up this month, so check the coming events and my new releases!
