Winter Storm 2011

Well, I think we're going to make it.
The threat of 5 inches of snow is now past - and we've not missed a single moment of electricity or heat. The biggest dilemma at our house is that the Xbox won't play right now.  Kid #1 continues to ask "What are we gonna do today?" and we finally answered with "Nothing!"
I do need to introduce you to the newest members of the family. . .

The two tetras have been around for several years and just got upgraded to a bigger tank. They have now been joined by 2 beautiful guppies and a molly.  None of them have been named yet, but I'm putting in my vote today: the black one should be 'Vader' (as in Darth), and I think the guppies should be Phineas and Ferb.  The tetras would have to be 'Peat' and 'Repeat' since you can't tell the difference between them.  What do you think?  (Which is funny that I ask, because a. you probably won't respond and b. they're not my fish to name)
I've heard lots of "Mommy" today and as pleasant as that should be, I'm ready for nap time, a Dr. Pepper and a movie (The Princess Bride is at the top of my list.)
Just in case you were wondering, here's what a two year old does on a non-snow snow day. . .
You can thank my friend Susan for the pictures, since she insisted that I must blog and include lots of pictures.  Happy Snow Day!

  1. Are the guppies male and female, or both male? That would affect the naming, you know. I do like Vader for the black one.
    Sorry you didn't get the snow today...I think it got dropped off here by mistake. We had 4-5 inches. This was our 4th snow day of the week. I've missed 3 days of work, we had 2 field trips that went bust, and Tye's ensemble contest for band was rescheduled from tomorrow to sometime in the future. Haven't heard about my hula lessons yet...
    Love your pictures, what kind of camera are you using?

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility.   I am a Promise,   With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality!     And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)

Tea for two!

Once upon a time, two ladies prepared for tea.  The smallest of the two played the part of hostess and laid out her fine china. Many lovely delicacies were brought out with the tea. The two ladies were dressed in their finest jewels and had their hair adorned in the most becoming way. Their dainty pink purses hung across their dainty arms. They gathered young babies and fed them with great care.  The babes were cleaned, bathed and put to nap in the cozy beds nearby. The two ladies were having such a grand time that they decided to invite others to join them in their tea.   The gentlemen neighbors were promptly invited to tea, but alas, they had a prior engagement (helping small frogs jump across the road).  Upon returning to their tea, the ladies met an unfortunate circumstance! They were attacked by a flock of angry birds!  The prettiest little lady adamantly declared "there's no angry birds having tea!" When the two ladies were safely seated back at their tea table,
