LOVEly Snow- Round 2

The second round of a Winter Storm for us fell on the second week of February.  Guess what is special about that besides that silly love holiday.  Our actual Anniversary.  We celebrated our 9th one this year and still going strong! I will have to say that the days were so blurred.  I was trying to see if we would be able to make our anniversary plans and I had Bradley’s Birthday party plans on my mind for February 15th.  I wasn’t sure if that would be cancelled either.  So, I think the kids went to school all day Tuesday and they cancelled on Tuesday night for Wednesday school immediately because they were expecting the snow to hit fast in the morning.  That it did……Happy Snowy Anniversary to us!

Brad was home so I frantically booked the childcare at the gym at 10am for what they had opened.  As soon as we started walking in we brought the snow.  I ran and did my little ski machine that I feel is helping my legs and I immediately started to become frantic.  So funny how I lost my composure for a bit.  Brad wasn’t even looking out the window and he drove separate because he always works out longer (fine by me) and I am limited with the childcare of how long I stay.  I high tailed it out of there with the kids because it was starting to stick to the roads and I know I need new tires.  We ended up getting 8 or so inches and then a second round came with ice and packed it in.

I didn’t think it was as cold this time and Easton agreed.  He loved playing in it and didn’t cry.  Gavin still would rather be watching cartoons on the couch with the heater next to him while we are all outside.

I had Bradley take a picture for us since I had to cancel our date.  They didn’t plow the roads until Thursday mid day so their was no way we were getting out or a babysitter was getting in.  Like the trend of the day, they didn’t really turn out either.

When you can’t beat the snow…eat the snow! That’s what we say at least ;)

On Friday the boys got a little Valentine’s treat from me.  At that point things were starting to melt so we took the kids to Drop Zone and went to see The Lone Survivor for Valentine’s Day.  We kept it just at that and no dinner since I had lots to do for Bradley’s party the next day and the roads at night.  Oh and you did read that right.  Yes, I am super awesome to go see a guy movie instead of a sappy romance on Valentine’s Day.  I cried regardless and I liked seeing the movie in spite of all it’s sadness.  Oh and in between the two snow storms we had, I took a few pictures for the boys to send out cards to family.

Then there is Oh so smooth Bubbas.  Liz and I laughed because he took one picture and ran away but he perfected the first one.  How can you resist those cheeks just filled with air blowing some love.

We hope everyone we love were blessed with love too this Valentine’s Day.  We have yet to reschedule our promised babysitter for the boys and go out on our dinner date.  Not quite sure how life got so busy but we hope to get some bang bang shrimp soon.
