Breakfast of Champions

By
We've had really cold weather here for the last two days, and Ryan has gotten TWO snow days! (I think they actually cancelled due to the temperature rather than the snow though.) So we have celebrated with delicious breakfasts! Yesterday we had banana-oat-wheat pancakes, and today, Ryan made what is now my new favorite breakfast. Actually, it might be my new favorite meal period. Biscuits and Gravy. Chocolate Gravy. It's delicious! We ate the entire heaping plate of biscuits and it might be one of the few meals where I can match Ryan bite for bite. I seem to have no quota when it comes to consuming chocolate. If you are not quite sure about this meal, maybe these pictures will persuade you...




Here's Leah reclining contently as we ate breakfast.

This is what it looks like outside!

After breakfast came story time.

Yum on the biscuits-not so much a fan of chocolate gravy which is a big hit here in TN. As for the snow days~fantastic fun. One of the definite perks of being a teacher. Enjoy the precious family time. Love you all and stay warm!

So . . . just so we're clear . . . it's chocolate sauce right, not like chocolate laced beef gravy? If the former, I'm totally in. Happy winter!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
