Snow, Snow, Everywhere!

BTW, thanks for also reminding me about the speech therapy part. You'd think I'd remember that considering I was in speech therapy at school from 4th to 7th grade. I had developed a stuttering problem when I moved schools. Oh and Leo had lots of speech therapy because he didn't hear right when he was little. He had really really bad ears. Eight sets of tubes from 3 to 16!

For those who don't know I live near Philadelphia, PA, we had two feet of snow dumped on us last weekend. So of course we had to bundle the boys up in their new snowsuits and get some pics of them outside. It was too windy though, to get them over to "Wilson hill" for sledding. BTW, that's the really big water basin that's on our property. It's awesome for sledding in winter! Here's some pics.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from us all!

Holy crap they look ADORABLE in those snow suits!!!! I wish we would get snow like that :-(
Heath, I'm so jealous of all that snow. I've only ever seen snow once in my life (freak snow in Jhb about 2 years ago - prior to that about 20 year gap).

And those boys? My word - they are so cute in their snowsuits. Beautiful eyes and I love the pic of Leo and his boys.

Now Phoebe? She is going to break some serious hearts :) Such wisdom in those eyes, like she has it all figured out :)

And thanks for your helpful comment on the sleep post! Happy to report last night went much better - I think they're in a growth spurt!
They are so adorable and that looks like a lot of fun.
Happy New Year to the Joys in Our Lives!

I'm a little jealous of that snow too! It looks like it would be fun to play in..for a little while, at least. In Alabama, everything would come to a standstill for at least a week!

All three of your babies are beautiful!

The snow was out of control! It was cool that we had a "white Christmas", but the date it occurred kind of put our family holiday gatherings to a halt.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
