Snow+Weekend Rambles

Our house was so sweet this weekend!  So full of love & bright colors that it just might convince you that spring is on the way.  Except for the fact that we finally have a huge forecast for snow this week.  In fact, we are actually soaking in our first. real. snow day!   So far we have only seen a few flakes & some ice, but I think in about an hour we are supposed to be right in the middle of a big snow storm.  What would I know though, for the last two hours we have been watching Lightening McQueen:)  Nonetheless, our hot chocolate station is in standby mode & our snow watching station is ready & waiting...bring on the snow!  P.S. Anyone have any good ideas for homemade sleds?

How was your Valentines Day?  Ours was perfect:)  Perfection is health & being together!  And to make it even more perfect, it came on a Saturday.  The only thing better than a Saturday in general, is for it to be Valentines Day on a Saturday!  My chalkboard was a constant reminder of the reason we can celebrate this sweet day.  Thank you Lord, for loving us & for those you have given us to love!

To begin the day, the Mr whipped up a big breakfast & most of it ended up on Cam's head or in Ony's mouth.  If he doesn't slow down with the biscuits & gravy making kick, I'm pretty sure I will be a 1,000 lbs heavier by summer.  Somehow, Cam translated Valentines Day into Dance Party day.  Because I swear, we had a  dance off from dawn til' dusk.  His only rule is that Cade & I did not dance together.  That was a big no no...anything else was fair game.  We ended the dance party with a dinner too big for my stomach to handle.  But I at least attempted to make a dent in it, squeeze in a few chocolate covered strawberries & an episode of Once Upon A Time:)

If it really snows like they predict it will, here are a few fun recipes to try while cooped up inside...snow cream, cookies & cream hot chocolate, & grilled cheese roll ups!  Can you imagine how perfect these grilled cheese roll ups would be to dip in a bowl of tomato soup?  Better yet...try making a variety with peanut butter roll-ups too!  Mmmm mmmm mmmm.  Perfect sledding party foods!

I hope you had a great Valentines weekend with the ones you love.

Wishing you the happiest of Mondays & lots of snow!
