Looks like we are getting some snow!!

Some of you know that I grew up in New England. Lots of snow in the winter...but you always got used to it. After I married Mark we moved alot. We started off in Newport, RI. We did get quite a bit of snow there. Then when we moved to Virginia we got snow maybe two times in the 2 1/2 years we lived there. When we were in Japan, we got dustings. FINALLY when we moved to Woodbridge, VA (Northern VA) when Mark was stationed in Quantico VA we got TONS of snow and Meghan absolutely loved it. We are back in the Hampton Roads area of VA (aka Southern VA) and well, we have seen a few flurries...that is it.

Well, it looks like we are going to get some snow tomorrow. Somewhere between 2-6 inches...perfect play snow! Tyler has only seen light snowflakes and Meghan is very excited to finally play in the snow again. I am going to have to bundle the kids up...I never bothered getting them boots or snowpants since we never get snow;) Oh well, I honestly don't think it will bother them at all!

We'll see what tomorrow will bring!!

A new look!

I was reading another blog today (Becki's :)) and I saw a little advertisement for free backgrounds. After looking at a good amount of them, I settled on this one.

Back to school, back to work...

This week Meghan went back to school and Mark had to go to a school for a week in Virginia Beach. So it was me, Tyler and the puppies during the day.

Meghan was SO excited to go back to school and see her teacher and friends. 2 weeks off from school is a long time even though we had family in a good part of that time. Meghan is a routine kid...and she was so excited to get back to her classroom!

She had a really good week...and she was happy to get a prize out of the "treasure chest" on Friday. Her teacher has a behavior reward system using the "treasure chest". If you get all "green" days (instead of yellow or red...apparentlly yellow and red is for bad behavior) you get a prize. She got a set of colored pencils this week. Honestly I only expect green days from Meg, and I think she has had all green days since she started school...yeah! She also has perfect attendance too!

Mark had to go to a school at the Dam Neck base in Virgina Beach. The base is nice...we usually go to the beach there in the summer. The only downer was that every night there was some traffic issue that it was taking him 90+ minutes to get home. I think it was 38 miles each way. That class is now complete....next week he has some conferences to attend and February 1st he reports to his new ship.

Tyler started up with his Gymboree play class this week. He loves it there. Meghan went from 18months to 4 years old. Tyler loves the kids and loves to run and climb and play under the parachute:)

The puppies are doing well. We are still working on the housebreaking...but we only get 1 accident or so every few days so I think they are doing really well. They are starting to get big! I will snap some pics this weekend and post. They are both very lovable little girls that do very well with the kids. The pups go for a check up on Monday.

Thats about all from here...dancing school this morning and a trip to Home Depot, exciting day...lol!

Thinking of a new name for this blog....

I am thinking of changing the name of this blog...I want to think of something catchy and the current one is not cutting it.

Any Suggestions?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 2009...let's hope its a good year for everyone!

I barely made it to see the ball drop last night. The past few years, I am usually so tired on NYE that I usually go to bed before the ball drop. However this year, I managed to fall asleep in the recliner and wake up at 11:30..lol.
