10/365: Snow Day, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

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.

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!

4/365: Where are You, Santa Mouse?, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

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.

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?, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

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.

Billy (the stuffed lamb in this picture) has been a big part of our lives since Juli was about 3 months old. She took to him and wouldn't let go. Since she was about 6 or 7 months old, she would not go to sleep without him. She rubs the satin ribbon between her thumb and forefinger until she falls asleep. He's her lovey and her best friend.

I don't know if she realizes it yet or not, but there are actually about 5 "Billies" in rotation at our house. LOL

We bought a box of fudge while we were down the shore. Juli saw us putting it in the fridge and wanted to know what it was. James told her it was a cow. She asked if she could see it. He told her yes, but she had to cover her ears.

He proceeded to moo as he opened the box and quickly closed it. Livi came over and got in on the action. They had to make sure they covered their ears or the cow wouldn't moo.

This went on until James told them it was time for the cow to go to sleep and we needed to put him back in the fridge. He gave Juli the honor and told her she had to be super careful putting him back.

I never saw her move so slow and cautiously before! LOL!!!

There was still a tiny cow living in a box in our refridgerator until the next day when we took the fudge out to have a piece. Gullible kids.

Earlier in the afternoon we went over to the Wildwood Convention Center to see the Pro Bike Builder Show. There were a lot of really cool bikes there. It did look like a lot of builders may have bailed out due to the storm.

Tonight we went to pick up a few things from the Home Depot (or Home Peepo as Juli calls it) in preparation for putting in our new family room windows. This was a much needed project as the old picture window had a chunk missing. It looked like a rock or something was kicked up by a mower. It was double paned so the inside pane didn't have a hole, just the outer one, but it looked crappy.

63/365: E.N.T. visit, originally uploaded by sanboogie.

Today I went fo my ENT appointment. It was crazy. He looked in my ears and found a hole in my eardrum. Then he numbed my nose and stuck a tube thing in it and down my throat -GROSS! He said my adenoids are big, as well as my tonsils. Yeah, I had my adenoids removed when I was about 5 or 6, those suckers grew back! So, he thinks they should come out. It's not a pressing issue. So I asked him if we can wait until February if possible - I have a full schedule from now until January. The doc said recovery would be "every bit of 16-18 days, maybe more" depending on how I heal.

After the nose tube, I went for a hearing test. I definitely have hearing loss. Apparently I also have a hole in BOTH eardrums. The one was so small the doctor didn't see it with the regular scope thing. They did a pressure test and found it that way. Then I went back to a different room where he looked into my ears with a HUGE microscope thing. Yep - 2 holes. One is so big that he thinks it is contributing to the hearing loss and I should have it repaired. He doesn't do that kind of surgery so he is referring me to his colleague. The colleague only works in the city, so I have to make an appointment to go see them there. Luckily that surgery is outpatient.

So yep, 2 surgeries for me. Fun, huh?

Today after being sick all afternoon from my newest round of antibiotics we decided to get out of the house for a bit. We were lucky enough to spy this double rainbow. It's kind of hard to see the second arch on top, but it is there. I only had my point and shoot in my purse so this was the best I could do.

It did make a bright spot in my otherwise dreary day. I think this was the first time I have ever seen an entire rainbow from one end to the other, and a double one at that! It was huge and I could not get it all in the picture. It was so bright and beautiful!

I went to the doctor to confirm it and get my newest round of antibiotics. I felt so horrible that I couldn't even sit up straight so James had to drive me and go in with me. I'm heading to an otolaryngologist in a few weeks. My regular doctor thinks it's time for my tonsils to come out.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

My husband requested a photo of his bike so we found a nice spot to take a picture. He likes the look of HDR so I tried it out with an HDR generator.

He has two wheels and I pray he keeps them both on the ground!

Today I stayed home from work sick. James was out in the garage working on his bike so I poked my head in to see what he was up to. He was making a few mods, so I took a few pictures. I tried a few adjustments for a CU Assignment. This one is my favorite, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a duotone, since I can see other colors peeking through. Not really sure...

By the way, I don't ride, but if I did, I would LOVE my bike to look like this!

Juli put in a special request to play Wii after school. We picked up a pizza for dinner and had a family fun night. We bowled and golfed and even tried our hand at tennis. Juli did great at bowling. I ruled the golf course and James won our bowling match. Livi had fun running around with a remote that didn't have batteries in it pretending to play!

We went to a playground near our house that we hadn't been to before. The play equipment was SO old! Most of the paint was chipping off. We actually left in search of a better, more up-to-date playground!

We took the girls to Sweet and Sassy for haircuts. It's a little spa-like place for little girls. Juli loves it there. She sat and had her haircut while Livi watched. I didn't think Livi would sit for a haircut, but we gave it a shot. She LOVED it! She was hamming it up saying "cheeese" the whole time!

We went to the outlets in Limerick to do a little shopping. It was a nice day when we got there. While we were shopping the skies opened and it poured! Then it suddenly cleared again and I was able to get a nice sunny shot. I also got a few deals on things for the girls!

Since 365 is about everyday life, here is something we do every day. Morning and night. Sometimes in between if the mood strikes.

This is Juli's toothbrush. She tells me this is her favorite part of her bedtime routine.

I took Juli to the doctor this afternoon for a little pimple like lump that turned out to be a cyst. Don't worry they said it should go away on it's own, they see it all the time, it's harmless.

Anyway, all of the exam rooms are painted in a theme. We were in the space room. Juli was pretending to be an astronaut, so I took a picture of her "in space" with her space station. She told me she was looking for moon rocks.

When she was good, she was really really good. When she was bad she was horrid.

Ok so Livi isn't really horrid. Tonight she was being a bit of a bugger though. She usually goes right into her crib and goes to to sleep on her own. Tonight she was freaking out every time her head hit the mattress. I tried to let her fuss it out a bit, but she was not having it.

I finally laid her on my bed while I put some stuff away. Little bugger fell right asleep. As I looked at her, I marveled at her sweet little ringlets in hair and wondered where she gets them.

I spent most of today either on the couch or in bed. My sister-in-law took Juli for the night and today. My sister came after she was done work today to hang out with Livi and Juli when she got home.

I was miserable most of the day, some point later in the evening my fever finally broke and I started feeling much better.

This morning I woke up with a sore throat and by noon I knew I had strep throat again. I've had it more times than I can even remember already this year. Luckily my doctor knows this and didn't even make me come in to get my antibiotics. I couldn't make it into the office anyway since I had to make through a meeting with my CEO and the CEOs of the two banks that own us.

I did manage to take my 365 shot before I feel into bed with a 103.5 fever.

The girls and I went for a walk tonight. We ended up over by the playground where there is a huge Verizon Wireless tower. I grabbed a few shots with the CU Telecommunications assignment in mind. Juli asked me why I was taking pictures of "that band". I said, "It's a tower." She replied, "No Mommy, it's a band. See the drums and music (pronounced muse-gick) up there." LOL

Ah through the eyes of a child. I'm not sure if it will be my CU shot, but it will be my 365 shot for today.

We were having thunderstorms tonight and the power was dipping in and out. Juli and I found some flashlights and prepared for a blackout. We never exactly got a blackout, but we did have a bunch of fun. We tried to do some lightwriting, but I learned we stink at that. This picture came from me setting the timer on my camera and running and hopping on the bed before it took a picture. Apparently this is really funny to a 3 and a half year old.

I did not buy them! LOL I just took a picture of them!

We are in day 5 of a heat wave. I went out back for a minute and noticed the thermometer on the back of the house was reading 101.5. Needless to say, we spent the day inside finding other ways to entertain ourselves.

I tried to blur the background because I thought it was too distracting. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'm still working on my PSE skills.

Today was a crazy day. We were all set to go to Great Adventure for my dad's birthday with our whole family and my aunt and cousins. The tickets for all three parks were purchased weeks ago. I ran around like a nut last night and this morning packing and getting all of our stuff together. We hop in the car bright and early this morning and we get 3/4 of the way to my sister's house and Olivia threw up ALL over herself, the car, her carseat. Juli had also been coughing a lot. We were 2 blocks from my brother and sister's apartment so I gave them our tickets and had to head home. Luckily they found someone to give them to.

Juli was REALLY disappointed that we couldn't go. Livi fell asleep on the way home and I guess it made her feel better. She was fine the rest of the day. So we decided to go out in the little pool for a while. Juli found this flower and put it in her bucket and told me she had a beautiful present to make me smile. It certainly did.

Not the best picture I have taken lately, but it was kind of funny. Livi has that busted look on her face, but I think she was just mid-krispy. I went to the dryer to grab the clothes out and this is what I found when I got back. Not sure how Juli got the rice krispies since they were on a shelf in the pantry. Guess it's time to lock the pantry!

Yes that is a window air conditioner in my bedroom. Our brand new central air kicked the bucket today. We have had them out multiple times since the install and it hasn't ever really gotten cold. They were out again today and it was working (still not COLD though) when they left. When I got home from work, it was 84 degrees in my family room. I had to have my brother-in-law come over and throw in the window unit. They are coming back on Friday. Hopefully the problem will be solved then!!

The last few days were spend getting a lot of stuff done in the yard. We re-potted our tomato plants and did a lot of much needed weeding and mulching. These flowers were put into planters on the deck. They should perk up nicely and hopefully my black thumbs won't kill them!!
