Happy Birthday a day late
but we did celebrate it up right on your actual birthday - A turned 9. When asked how his first (and second) day of being 9 was he replied they were better than he expected. Now that's an accomplishment because believe me, he had HIGH expectations of his day/weekend. Now, if only we can keep up the success for T's birthday. He REALLY liked A's gifts and hopes his are as good - I will NOT shop anymore! ;)

24 hours
Now we all take it for granted - the electric, running water, lights, internet. I hate when the power goes out and usually escape to my parents house because they have a generator. So, after getting a new coal/oil furnace, we bought a generator a couple months ago. A couple weeks ago there was a huge snowstorm and we worried about the power going out so we bought the rest of the 'stuff' to hook it up.
Last night the wind broke the pole outside our house and the transformer was on the ground outside the basement. The wires were almost pulled off the house and were laying on DH's truck. 24 hours with no electric. It isn't that long really, yet seems like forever. 24 hours of no heat makes for a very cold 54 degree house. 24 hours and I'm feeling a dirty feeling head of hair. 24 hours and two children are starting to get cold feet and are bored. 24 hours later we thank the electric company technicians as they drive away. 23 hours later the generator is hooked to the furnace...
E - earth
Finally getting to see some earth around here - it's been a while since it's been covered with snow.
E - eek
Things that make me go EEEK? Coming out of work to see this mud ALL over my car. Memo to self: do NOT park by the street when a puddle in on the other side of the snow drift!

Long week
an unexpected sarcoma diagnosis in the family sure puts life in turmoil - trying to get some sense of balance back..... that and some scrap therapy are desperately needed.

TV time
Biggest Loser is back and American Idol is on. I'm not a huge Idol fan but a local boy has made it to the top 20 and probably going further so it's major TV time. I'm not used to that and I see the time it takes up........ better get to bed!

Sunday Hockey
Took the kids to a hockey game with friends for their birthdays - which aren't for 21 and 30 more days - but still it was their birthday celebration. Fun times. I don't know who liked it more, the kids or us. I do know that at one point I heard my DH yelling, "YEAH!" and it was hard to hear anything! Pics to follow....

Here's my D - door photo - the basement doors with all this snow. I do like these doors...
Snow time Fun
Aaron had so much fun just jumping in the snow today. He made snow chairs, snow blankets (above), snow clothes, and snow angels.... it was a good day in his world.

Have you...
recently cleaned out or rummaged through your freezer - seems to be the topic of the day from a conversation with my mom to a magazine organizational idea to today's Small Thing. Yes I'm throwing out some old frozen fish or what I think is old frozen fish. Whatever it is it is now in the garbage can waiting for trash day. That's a much better place for it.
