Second helping...

It's been 2 weeks since we got that good snow/ice and a week out of school.  I had about all the snow I wanted until I knew it was coming again and this time much more. 

Snow was the last thing I needed...being 9 months pregnant, I needed to work and get my last month in and done with no more delimas.  

But when it started to snow, all my worries and bad thoughts went away.  We had huge snowflakes, that fell quickly and all day long so we could enjoy watching it fall.  The kind of snow you dance outside in and stick your tongue out to catch them as they fall.  The afternoon came quick and so did all the inches on snow on the ground....6.5 inches to be exact!  

33 vs. 37 weeks

Cookies...

For just about every event I have or that I am involved in I always gets cookies made by Katherine's mom.  She absolutely, hands down makes the cutest and yummiest cookies ever...and they are cheap!!

Baby Reese's shower is Saturday and of course I had her make some as favors for our baby shower guest.  Gavin and I went and picked them up Friday afternoon so they would be soft, fresh and yummy!

Never Again...

So in attempt to complete the little/big details of Baby Resse's room, I ordered her a tree wall decal with these pretty birds and leaves all around it.  Yes, I looked and saw it measured 70x68 but I didn't really think that was going to be that bad.  Well when it came it, I was singing a different tune.  This tree was huge...and I was anxious to get it up.  So of course I tested out a little birdie, easy peasy...I got this!!  Well 2.5 hours later I was yelling for Jeremy to come up stairs to help me straighten up it, a little!  In my defense I am 8 months pregnant!!  But it's up and adds just enough of that little girl feeling I wanted in her room.  

The next morning....

The night before we got a lite dusting of snow, nothing to blink an eye at...and the closed up school.  But the next morning, we got about 4 inches.  The anticipated snow fall amount for Beulaville was about 2 inches and then freezing rain.  Well we got a little bit more and lots of ice.  This is completely unusually for our area.  So needless to say Gavin didn't go to all week...literally 5 days shut down! 

But we made the best of it!  We packed up in Jeremy's truck and went to Mr. Patrick's and Mrs. Cori's, they had the car hood already hooked up to the 4 wheeler ready to go.  Mr. Matthew came to play too, he's a big kid at heart!

Snow/ice =no school

No matter how little or how much snow Duplin county gets, the town literally shuts down, no school, no milk, no bread and no gas!  It's crazy and Gavin goes crazy too.  He absolutely loves the snow, well for about 5 mintues then he is ready to go back inside where it is warm.  

This so called snow as you can see was more or less a dusting with some icicles. We went outside, patted the snow and grabbed an icicle...that was enough for me and him!

Happy Birthday Baby/Little Jack

We've always called our nephew baby Jack, even before he was born.  But now it is time to retire that name and upgrade him.  He is is now 4 years old and just as big as Gavin who is 6...so now we shall call him Little Jack!

He had the coolest birthday party, with several Pinterest/Martha Stewart inspired ideas.  It was Cowboy themed with horses, that were cut, painted and decorated beautifully, digging for gold, snake in boots and the best Kodiak moment "wanted" frames so everyone could remember this amazing party.  But I don't know how you could forget it!

Happy 4th Birthday Little Jack!
