our simple Life: it's been a week...

...since my last post.

and alot has happened during that time.

sam and i enjoyed a wonderful date night. we have been switching off with the same couple for 6 years now. once a month--they watch our kids while we go on a date and once a month--we watch their kids while they go on a date. so thankful for good friends that care enough about our marriage to take time to watch our crazy and energetic 3!

i read the entire twilight series! in one week! bringing my total to 6 books in 3 weeks. i think i'm done for a while.

lia attended a birthday party at fun city and boy-oh-boy did she have fun! and so did i--talking with all the other mothers. fun to be around other adults for a change.

enjoyed a huge snow storm this week. public school has had 3 snow days--we've had 1. the news said this was the biggest snow storm we've had since 1979--i was 1.

look at these scary ladies. ready to head outside. they look like robbers but those masks are the best investments we've made this winter.

sam's truck was practically buried in the driveway.

it took him almost the entire morning to dig us out.

some drifts were taller than the girls.

i have always loved the way snow looks when it's settled into the corners of windows.

i had every intention of going outside and taking some photos, but never did make it out of my warm living room. besides, i was too busy reading! ha ha
