It has been a cold and rainy day today.

We are actually expecting snow this evening!

I don't particularly enjoy the snow, but I have to say, there is something so magical about the very first snow.

I hope that I am awake to see it.

This morning, Abby and I met up with my friend, Jennifer, at the discovery center.

It was a really nice morning.

It was also very odd to be out with only one child, ha!

We had such a nice time chatting and playing with the kiddos.

Abby is OBSESSED with her Muppets jacket, she freaked out this morning when I took it off of her.

Eek!

This afternoon, Ainsley saw a commercial for the American Girls dolls.

She was instantly interested in them.

I told her that I had mine from when I was a child {Kirsten} and that I would get her out after we picked Adison up from school.

Lee was SOOOO excited to see her and got out her Bitty Baby so they could play together.

Lee decided to name her baby Kerrigan.

 

Okay folks, I am off to play trains with Abby and Ainsley and hopefully play a game with Adison.

A mish mash

Thank you so much to Meli over at Domestiquette.

Trust me when I say that you NEED to head over to her blog.

She shares wonderful tutorials and has some rockin' ideas on all things fun and pretty.

Seriously, head over there ASAP!

7 Things About Lil' Ol Me

1. I really want to learn how to sew. I have a sewing machine and everything, but I only know how to turn the thing on, sigh.

2. I cannot stand it when I think that people are upset, angry, disappointed with me. It literally makes me feel sick.

3. I LOVE to read. I am currently reading three books at once, I just can't get enough of them! 

4. I have actually started writing about a book about having a molar pregnancy.

5. When I laugh my hands get really weak and are basically useless. Hubby loves to tease me about that one.

6. I am absolutely terrified of sharks.

7. I don't enjoy cooking. I really like eating though. It is such a good thing that K loves to cook!

This is the beautiful sunrise that I woke up to this morning. It was actually much prettier than this. Yes, I was awake when the sun was rising this morning. For some reason my kids like to wake up earlier on the weekends. I have tried explaining how this whole "sleeping in" thing works, I don't think they are buying it though.

This picture is awful, I just need to apologize in advance. But, Abby would NOT stand still for even a moment for me to get a picture of how cute she looked this morning.

She is wearing light pink tights with little silver strips, a denim skirt and her sweatshirt says "LOVE" across the front of it with a heart on the left sleeve. She is wearing a shirt under it that says "Daddy's Sweet Heart" on it. She is just too cute for words, literally I can't think of any words that accurately describe her.

Okay y'all, that's all I've got for now.

See you later!
Have a wonderful Saturday!
