Snow and try it, you'll like it.

I'm so happy to report that for once, we had the mother of all storms where I actually lived. It was great. We measured snow in our backyard after the storm, 22 inches. The kids were home from school for a whole week. I loved it. Here's Ashby getting ready to make the plunge. Can you see the car? Yeah me either.
Our poor BBQ. It doesn't think summer will ever come, can you blame it?

Have you tried freezer paper stenciling? It's awesome and I'm obsessed. Every time I find cheap solid colored shirts, I snatch up couple so we can make them our own. Avery wanted a flower on hers.


I wanted these guys on Luke's. Can you name them? Without cheating...


And last, I sent these to Baby J. I hadn't ever made bibs before and it was fun. There's also some freezer paper business here too. Try it, you'll like it.

Blinky, Pinky...and...uhhh...grrrr! I can't remember the other two. I want to say Doc, but that may just be because of the Seven Dwarves. I'll just throw out a wild guess of Spot for the last one. ;)

Adorable children and shirts and bibs. Can't wait to see you again soon. Asher asks nearly daily if we can go to Ashby and Avery's house so he can play with "that big girl Ashby".

I love the freezer paper art! I would love to learn more about this! How cute and fun. You are Miss crafty lady. Love your snow! Can't believe you have that much in your yard, amazing!!! We are getting into Spring and had to take our sweatshirts off at the park today. Mike would take your weather any day of the year :)

That is crazy!!! It's pretty much been snowing everywhere BUT Utah this year! What part of PA are you guys in? Preston has an interview for Pharmacy school in Erie so there is a chance we'll be movin out there if we get in. I'm sure you're not super close to Erie because it's pretty much a town of nothing. You are still in PA right?! haha
