SNOW!!!

Today we were surprised by a little snow. J came home early and watched Hayden so I could run out and get a mani-pedi.


When I left the salon, it had just started snowing and 7 minutes later, when I started up our hill, my car was slipping and sliding all over the road....
I'm so glad I didn't run any other errands - I would have had to hike home in my flip flops!


Here are a few more pics of our fun in the snow! It's still coming down so we are making the most of it - watching It's a Wonderful Life with popcorn and hot tamales. Stay warm everyone!


So glad Daddy was home to play in the snow!




I'm officially an Oregonian- check out my North Face jacket and flip flops in the snow!


Hayden was mesmerized! She loves to touch EVERYTHING...


Happy Girls!


Hayden blowing raspberries in the snow.


our backyard...guess the fence building will have to wait!

Meg and the Arrabiata sauce

This weekend we have the pleasure of hanging out with Austin while his parents are away. He is 7 and lots of fun. Jason has a buddy to play Wii with and Austin gets the (almost) undivided attention of two adults so it's a good fit.
This evening I learned that 7 year olds do not like spicy arrabiata sauce. Austin said it was burning his lips and face so we quickly gave him some milk to help douse the heat of the spice. He then moved on to what we were having - baked potato bar. He happily topped his potato with ham, chicken, cheese, BBQ sauce and sour cream, artfully spreading the toppings over his potato. Very cute.
I cleared the table as Jason gave Hayden her bath then the video gaming commenced. Jason usually gives Hayden her bottle but I was happy to do it as it kept me from playing Lego Batman on Wii. As I was feeding Hayden, I heard the dog's collar clinking against a dish indicating that one of our pups was eating dinner. I started to realize that this was not normal clinking, this was enthusiastic - wow, this is really tasty clinking. I got up and saw my pug on the dining room table. She had finished the entire bowl of spaghetti arrabiata and was in the process of finishing off Austin's glass of milk. I think it's time for her to sleep this off in her kennel as I really don't want it to come up on my new carpet.
Well, that's all for now, I'll keep you posted on our adventures this weekend!

Then mommy & I took a walk to look @ the fall colors. What a great day!!!!

She played bouncie with me...

When I woke up, we played...

I took a good nap...

Even though she's a big girl, she still liked my toys...

While I was napping, my friend Bella came over to play...

My teeth were bothering me, so mommy gave me some ice to suck on...

I decided to read by the fire...

Then, I practiced my sitting up...I'm getting pretty good!

I had a very busy day today!

First, I got kisses from Jake...
