The More I Try...I Forget!: Snow :(

I think I am officially over winter. We had such a mild start to our winter that we quickly became spoiled and forgot that "actual" winter would be coming in January, February, and maybe evven into March. We have had a rough last couple of weeks, and I am SO ready for it to be gone! Last week we had a lovely little snowstorm which left 9 tall inches of beautiful snow. I loathe snow, so I did not do so well with it...even with the two extra snow days that came out of it! :) Over the last five years I have learned to at least deal with it more and actually venture out in it, so the first day I decided to take the girls to the Y to swim. Mommy never takes them, so I know they got a kick out of that!

On one of the three days we were actually in school last week, we had our Valentine's Party. In conjunction with our party and our winter reading incentive, we did a book parade around the school. Students and teachers were asked to dress as a book character, and of course I went with something fun!

As I mentioned before, the weather has been awful and has made our training for our half marathon a little tricky. I HATE the treadmill and will do all things to avoid it, so we have definitely been running in some less than favorable conditions, but it beats the treadmill any day! :)

And the most important thing that has happened lately is that our nephew turned one!!! We cannot believe it's been a year since Baby Hudson came into our lives, and it has been SO fun watching this little man grow. The unexpected snowstorm forced Jake & Megan to cancel the originally planned party on Super Bowl Sunday, but we celebrated a week later and had awesome weather as a bonus! We were asked to dress in NFL apparel, and the party was all football (Packers) themed. Megan did such a great job with all the cute details!
