Doug falling through the basement was crazy!! I have been telling him for years that they needed replaced, but who has time to replace  a stair case?  Well, obviously it should have been a priority.  We have our washer and dryer in the basement which means the laundry which was already the size of a mountain, is now the size of Mt.  Everest. But my hubby escaped with only some bad bruising, some deep flesh wounds, but no stitches or broken bones.  Whew, we are thankful it wasn't a kiddo who went through because it was one of the top steps that broke. 
 
Shamrock shakes from McDonalds are one of my favorite Spring treats.  I am not sure I would be as excited if they were all year long.  Some times the novelty of once a year is what makes things seem better.  I have always felt this way about Peeps as well. I was disappointed when they are started making them for other holidays,and have in fact refused to even try them.  Peeps are for Easter, case closed.  I also love Cadbury eggs....yummo! 
 
My baby will be 7 years old!! NO!!!  Stop the clock and make her a newborn :(  The other day she told me she wishes she could be a baby again.  Me too!  She was such a tiny little thing with the biggest eyes.  Oh, she was sweet.  She still is.  I love her sassy little attitude.... most of the time.  Lucy has no problem telling it like it is.  She is funny and honest and so determined. She is the bow that ties our family together.

What's going on around here....

  I am joining up with The Simple Woman's Blog to bring you my weekly day book.  Link up and share yours and read the other links....          For today...February 2nd (Groundhog's Day) 6 more weeks of Winter was the prediction.   Outside my window....Snow.  We got enough to cover everything, but not the storm that was predicted.  I can handle this.  I will admit, snow is beautiful the first day before it gets slushy and dirty.       I am thinking...how nice to have the day off.  Sometimes using a vacation day to hang out around the house is worth it.   I am thankful and in gratitude for... an older daughter who is responsible and can run the house and the family well when left in charge for a few days.   I am wearing...my pajama pants and an Oklahoma Sooners hoodie, this may be what I stay in all day long :)   I am wondering....if raising teenagers will tur...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
