More Snow, More Mess, and Followup

 

We had more of this today.  I think that we probably got at least another 20 inches on top of what we already had...no kidding.

 

It was nice to have Joel home from work today.  He will be off tomorrow as well, but that will probabl be spent trying to dig out of this!  He has to go locate our car underneath it all and try to help clear our street some.

 

The girls did this yesterday.  I took several pictures, and some moron (that would be me) started deleting them without them being put on the computer.  At least I saved one!  I love that they can do this together!

 

The girls both ate their supper all gone, and they got to have fudge pops for a treat.  Pnut inhaled hers.  Pilly should have so she wouldn't have gotten so messy!  She did enjoy it though:)
 
 
Pnut started drawing flowers today.  Are they not cute??  She watched me draw one and then she just started doing it.  That is how she learned to draw stick people too!  She is a visual learner, I do believe.
In a followup to yesterday's post, I wanted to let you know that I'm not just blowing smoke.  Randa and I placed our first order from Fair Indigo today.  I am super-excited!  Find a friend who wants to do it and split the cost of shipping.  They have a flat rate of $5.95 for all shipping so that is only $3 a person!  

I also meant to post yesterday about some recent buys that I have had.  Joel just bought a pair of pants at Marshall's.  They are supposed to just be an overstock store so there isn't anything wrong with the clothes.  The tag didn't say irregular or anything.  They were Tommy Hilfiger brand corduroys and looked really nice and comfortable.  The first time he wore them, they split right down the crotch seam while he was at work.  I sewed them back up.  The next time he wore them, he put his wallet in his back pocket, and it fell out.  He thought it just wasn't in right and put it back in.  It fell out again.  The pocket had ripped open in this odd jagged V-shape.  No rhyme or reason to it.  I patched it and hand sewed it so that hopefully it doesn't rip open again.  I just bought a pair of pants from Old Navy during their huge sale, and the other day one of the belt loops ripped off and left a hole in the pants.  I was able to fix it, but really, why should I have to fix these brand new pants.  For the price we could be paying if we weren't buying on sale, it is a real rip-off.  And those are only the two most recent examples!  I can think of others, but I won't bore you!  I'm just saying, I think we need to start thinking more about our fellow human beings and how they are being treated just because they weren't blessed enough to be born in the US, over which they have no control!

Alright, I'll stop.  Here's to a less snowy tomorrow...
