Update by numbers...

Haven't updated with a real post in a while... so thought I would update what has been going on in our little family with some numbers (thanks Kimber for the idea)!

1= Laptop that bit the dust this week containing the final draft of Morgan's essay that was due on Friday (thank goodness she got that snow day). And, part to fix said laptop is not in stock anymore... e*bay, here I come.

1= Cell phone that also died this weekend that belongs to same said child... you would think the world came to an end without constant contact with all her friends via txt and unlimited weekend talk time (never fear... cell phone under warranty and being replaced).

3= The number of people who have battled the flu in our home over the past few weeks. We are all finally back to health.... only Bug still has some coughing and loose chest congestion.

7= Trips to the doctor or immediate care center over the past two weeks battling said flu virus and broken elbow/arm.

15= The inches of snow we woke up to this morning! It was beautiful but we would have enjoyed it so much more if it had fallen in January or February when you expect it to be winter time and not just days after enjoying a 70 degree day that put you into full spring fever mode.



Which leads to these numbers:

2= Happy sisters who had so much fun playing in the snow! Grant was spending the weekend with my mom... but he had fun in the snow too, just no pictures.




1= The number of Guatemalan snow volcanoes we made in the front yard (don't harass me... it would not pack into a snowman, no matter how hard we tried... so we decided to call it a volcano and Sophie was so excited!)




50= The number of times that Sissy pulled Sophie around the yard in her sled!



51= The lap that send our little Bug into a face plant in the snow when the sled tipped over... poor baby!



2= The number of little hands that enjoyed helping me bake a birthday cake and lick the beaters!




21= The number of days that Sophie wore her hot pink cast! Thank goodness it is off and all is returning to normal. I had to convince her to get it off... I told her that she could not go to the beach with a cast on. So, every morning, she wakes up and says "My arm all better... go to beach!"... how do you explain to a toddler that she has to wait a little bit longer until we get to go there?

27= The number of days until Spring Break!! We can't wait! The 10-11 hour drive... not so much looking forward to that!

40= The number of years I celebrated today! I was able to go out last night to celebrate with a wonderful group of friends! Thank you Susan, Suzanne, Donna, Peggy, Whitney and Stephanie for braving the blizzard and coming out to help me celebrate!



112= The number of posts I have created on this blog

60,000= The number of visitors who have stopped by this blog - Holy Cow (Sophie's new found word)! Thanks everybody for continuing to stop by!!

Happy Belated Birthday, my friend! Looks like you had a wonderful day with family & friends.

15 inches of snow? WOW!! What a fun treat that must have been for your kids. I can't even imagine waking up to that - bet it was beautiful!

Hope the snow is melting and warmer temps are headed your way. Spring is just around the corner! :) I also hope the flu bug has left your house and Sophie's cough is better.

Love & FROG,
Heather
