Well today came with a lot of decisions... To get dressed or not to? To scrapbook or not to? Well... I didn't get dressed until 6pm (after shower), and did decide to scrapbook the day away. The plus to that is Chloe's baby book is almost complete! (Well her first few days book that is!)
We did actually have some large decisions to make today too. Found out our car needs a new transmission~ Greg found one for $300 (pretty cheap and he can put it in himself!) Then comes the tough ones... what job to take, where to live, when to do all this, and all those big fun choices.
But for now we are going to face the snow, head into town get some groceries and a movie then come home and stay by the fire! (no more fear of running out of oil~ just got 100 more gallons at a very low price of $339.90! [yes that is major sarcasm] but it keeps us going for another month or so...)
Cake decorating class was amazing! (If anyone gets a chance to do this, do it!!! You don't have to be very creative... think rolling out playdough and using cookie cutters!!!! That easy!!!) Thank you so much to Piece of Cake in Somersworth!!! :) (It was a free class!) And thanks to the wonderful ladies that did it with me, especially Traci who gave me her cake to decorate after my homemade one from scratch crapped out on me!
It's Friday which means 2 full days with the hubby, and payday! :) Hope everyone has a blessed weekend and is safe in the storm!

Last night's dinner....
So I made a Rachel Ray recipe... (hubby loves her) well it was AMAZING the first time, so I thought, well we are going to have company, let's make it again... Friend shows up to smoke alarms going off, nothing ready smoke filled house, cake (tried Red Velvet from scratch) not frosted (oh frosting not even made!!!!). Oh thank God he wasn't expecting much! Anyways, the meal turned out ok. Not bad, not great... So it wasn't too bad a failure! :)
Winter in New England
Well, It has been a while, but let me just blame it on winter in New England. I have been frozen for the last 3 months! It is finally starting to thaw, but it is still cold!!! Life here is pretty good. Our house is draft and cold, our heating bills are up to around $1000 a month during the winter, but our marriage is as strong as it has ever been, our kids are doing great (well once they thaw they will be!) and we are loving loving loving our church family at Dover Baptist.
Let's start a review of everyone...
Greg~ really doesn't like his job, his boss is not a very good guy (he canceled our family insurance on the 1st of the year due to increases in premiums~ it was part of Greg's salary for the company to pay for it...), he is driving about 2.5 hrs to work (one way) every day. But... Greg is a leader with the Truth and Training kids in AWANA (3rd-6th graders), he was leading our small home group (we are now taking the ALPHA class as a group, so he isnt doing much there), and he is enjoying spending time with friends going to Fly Fishing Film Festivals and other odd things! He is working a lot at the church helping put in the new floor in the vestry, shoveling if needed, working in the nursery, and just helping whenever he can! :)
Jacob~ is a Cubbie at AWANA (3-5 year olds), loves Sunday School and Children's Church, enjoys spending twice a month at MOPs with mommy, and adores his baby sister! He is loving the large house and running around and as he puts it "boys like to be cold!" He is enjoying spending time with his friends, Morgie, 'saiah, Colby and Gabe. He will be turning 4 next month!!!!
Chloe~ well she is just a princess if there ever was one. She loves to be the center of attention and is spoiled rotten! We have started her on some oatmeal a few times a week and sometimes she gets a special treat of applesauce or squash (I know who thought squash could be a treat, she thinks so!). She is working on getting her legs under her and pushing up, but for now just lays around and soaks up the attention. She is already 6 months old!!!
Buster~ well he is getting into trouble on almost a daily basis! But I am to blame as he needs to get out, yet it is hard to get out and run when you are frozen! :) Hopefully we will be able to get out soon.
And well for me~ I am trying to stay on top of everything in the house! :) I am working with the Sparks (K-2nd graders) in AWANA, doing MOPs 2x a week, helping out in nursery and kitchen when needed. I am enjoying the social aspects of being in one location for over a year! I am working on finding Greg a new job, all of us a new house, and so many other daily duties of a SAHM! :) I am also watching a little girl, Hanna, 3x a week for a little extra $. I have put in with Business to Blogger to start reviewing products, and also with Tyndale to review books. (We have canceled our TV subscription and now I have all the time in the world to read! hehe).
Well, it is off to switch laundry and vacuum some floors! I hope you all have a blessed day! :)
