We were supposed to get snow today (like 2-7 inches). When we woke up there was a covering of snow outside and it was snowing. We headed out to dance class and when we came home, it was still just a dusting. The girls were super excited and wanted to play in it, even though there wasn't much to play in. They had a good time anyway.

9/365: There's Always One
Somehow every year after we take the Christmas decorations down and put them away, I always find a few stragglers.

7/365: All Hail the GloMate
I ordered these nightlights for the girls and they came today. They are so cute! The girls love them. They can be solid blue, green or red. They can also cycle through a rainbow of colors.
The neat part is they sit on this flat base, but the kids can pick them up and take them with them. Totally cool! I wouldn't let them take their GloMates off tonight since they had to charge for at least 8 hours. They can't wait to get their hands on them though!

6/365: Last Hurrah
Tomorrow is D-day. Yes DIET day. I'm joining Weight Watchers.
Tonight I made one of my favorite dinners, soft tacos/burritos. I forgot the beans, but that's okay. They were still pretty yummy.

4/365: Where are You, Santa Mouse?
When I was a little girl my grandparents bought me a book about Santa Mouse. In the story, they put a yellow light on the tree for Santa Mouse (he helps Santa on Christmas). I asked where our yellow light was at my grandparents house and it has evolved from a light on the tree to a whole tree dedicated to Santa Mouse.
When we were younger Santa Mouse used to leave each of us 12 grandchildren a little gift by each of our yellow lights on the tree. It was a very cute tradition. We no longer do the gifts, but my grandmom still has the tree and many Santa Mouse themed things in her kitchen.
We went to visit her today along with my aunt and my cousins. The girls always have a great time there and it was nice to be in a place were so many of our traditions took place.

3/365: My Log Cabin
Today the girls and I hung around the house doing laundry and getting things in order. While Livi napped, I took a short break to play with Juli and her new set of Lincoln Logs. She wanted me to build a house for her horsey just like the one on the box.
This was the best I could do. Not sure why the roof has a gaping hole in it. I guess so you can play inside the cabin, but Juli could barely get her hand in it.

2/365: New Year - New Milestones?
Is this what hell looks like? A sweet toddler that turns EVIL the moment you try to stick her in her crib? A toddler who previously went in her crib with no problems, now screaming blood curdling screams non-stop until gagging and almost vomiting (she actually did spit up once in the last week) the second you even lean her over the crib.
As soon as I laid her mattress on the floor she hopped right on and laid down. I sat on the floor in her doorway for about 20 - 30 minutes while she settled down and went to sleep. After she fell asleep, I had to go out to the garage to get this gate that we never use anymore!
Heaven help me!
I took other shots for my 365, but I think I will have to scrap them for this one.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone in the dark quality, but I forgot to grab my camera when I ran downstairs.

1/365: 365 Take Two
New Year, New 365.
I started a new job in November and ended up being too busy to take pictures. I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and things are slowing down. I've decided to restart my 365.
Here goes nothing...
