I can't believe how much snow we have...thank you to the guy who plows our driveway...I can actually get out of the garage which is quite important if I am going to make it to work tomorrow. The drive should be interesting. Hopefully it won't be too bad. B and I had a wonderful day together. We played with playdough, fingerpainted, played in the snow, colored, snuggled, read stories...had a great mommy and Brenna day.
I interupt this post to say that the weather man said that we are going to get more snow on Friday...MORE SNOW! Seriously, I think we have had enough.
Ok, ok back to the blogging. I even managed to complete another layout today and get some of my work done for renewing my teaching license.
Pictures to come soon...

The once a week blog
So apparently I am only blogging once a week...better than not at all I guess...it's still cold and snowing, snowing, snowing (again). I'm just glad we seem to be out of the really bitter stuff.
Right now: blogging, Sean playing Tiger 09, Brenna napping
Should be: doing laundry, taking a shower, changing bedsheets, and a very long list of other things.
Getting ready to: nap? (doubtful - although I could really use one), upload photos to costco to be printed...getting ready for hooky scrapping!
Don't really have anything else to say today.

Things I did Today
*Played with a funny, funny, little girl.
*Started my 2009 Projects List ~ a ridiculous list of things I would like to accomplish this year, mostly comprised of reorganization in each room of the house, some professional stuff to complete for my license renewal, and some mini-projects in the house. I have already checked-off one thing...backing up photos, thanks to being snowed in yesterday. While this is on-going, all of the old stuff is done.
*Went to calling hours for a friend of our family.
*Spent time with my parents (thanks again for coming to stay with B today).
*Looked through some "new" scrapbook treasures~ Thanks Missy! I already have plans for some of the papers!
*Booked airline reservations for our vacation this summer (thought, discussed, clicked and paid within an matter of 45 minutes).
*Played with B some more.
*Started stressing about seat assignments on an airplane when I can't do anything about it for 60 more days! I'm a little obsessive and sometimes a little nuts, in case you haven't already figured that out.
*Put B to bed.
*Called airline to get seats changed with some success...now I have to wait the 60 days before I can be sure the changes took.
*Updating blog, getting ready to spend some time with the husband, zoning in front of the tv before I fall asleep early on the couch as usual.
Here's my sweet girl...sleeping with Baby Annie - she slept this way most of the night. It was very cute.
Over all a good day...the snow seems to have subsided but I've heard we could get more later in the week...that and some very cold weather. As if temps in the 20's and teens aren't cold!
Here's to a great week!

Snowy Saturday
We're sort of snowed-in today. We might venture out later for food but other than that I think a quiet Saturday at home is in order. I put B down for her nap at 10:45 and she has yet to wake up - almost 3 hours later. Sean's been working and I am currently burning back-up CD's of all of our digital photos. I'm finding that in my attempt to back them up to flash drives I have multiple copies of things but I guess it doesn't hurt to have that either. I know, I know...the only true way to not lose these files is to get them printed but I am not excited about footing the bill for the over 3000 photos I took in 2008, let alone the previous 2 years of B's life. While I know I won't print them all (lots of them are blurry, dark, etc), there is still a quite hefty amount that need to be printed and scrapped or put into photo albums. I think I need to do it methodically so that there is some order to the albums. I did manage to sort them by date taken so each month has a folder. There are the few hazy months before we got the new camera that are date questionable because I dropped the camera in a baby pool while on vacation in Californa 2 summers ago. Luckily I didn't lose any photos and believe it or not the camera still worked - not well - but we were still able to capture the important moments. Thankfully we received a new camera for Christmas last year and the photo organization has been much easier. So far I have everything from when Brenna was born to May of 2008 - I had already backed up some of the photos previously and forgot that I had done that...saved lots of time!
Enough about that...here's a funny photo to brighten your day...Thursday, while getting ready to head to daycare...B decided that this was how she wanted to brush her teeth.
