Louisiana "Snow" Day

Having snow days is a real rarity down here.  And to be honest, it is almost an actual ice day.

And as an owner of a business, it is always such a hard decision to keep the place open (knowing most of the patients will not brave the roads) or to just stay at home.  So, when I decide to stay open, I MUST be there myself.  This means I can't play with my babies.  Cause schools are most DEFINITELY closed!!

Just as soon as I could possibly make it to Staci's house to pick up my girls, I took them outside to play!

And don't you think it's a bit ironic that as I pilfered through Staci's garage to find something that we might could slide on, I chose this one.  I'm quite sure he was!!

See?!

And I was seriously freezing.  I don't know if I could live in a really cold environment!

ANd when we got back to the car....

I snapped a few videos and photos of the big icy extravaganza.

I never really know if my videos work or not.  So, here's giving it a try!

Madi's next door neighbor has a big ol' hill on the side of his house, so that is exactly where we headed!

Gabs didn't particularly want to stop long enough for the obligatory Snow Day photo, but here you can see one of her very authentic Gabbi faces.  I love it.

You can also see that Madi has far surpassed Ellie in the lost tooth area.  And Gabbi is DYING to lose one.  Just last night, "Hey mom, is this one loose yet?!  I think it is."  "Ummm hmmm... I think maybe, Gabs."  "Yesssss!!".

By the time we got  to the hill, at the end of the day, a lot of thawing had occurred.  So, we could make a single pass on a patch of grass, then would have to move down a spell.  See the criss cross path in the photo below?!  And that nice dry patch at the end of the hill was enough to keep the girls from going into the woods.  It did a perfect job of slowing them down.

Well, let me know if you can see the videos.!
And I think we are going to have a Bingo winner tonight!  We'll see...Yesterday was 51, in case you don't follow me on Instagram or Facebook.  And tonight's number is...J 31.  Let me know.  I bet we are getting close to having a winner!!  Yay.

I'm sorry I've been avoiding the blog lately.  I was in Dallas over the weekend for a continuing education class, drove home on Sunday night (4 1/2 hours), worked all day Monday, Drove another 4 hours to Lafayette after work to take a certification exam for Pelvic floor therapy, drove straight home on Tuesday after the test (which took me 3 hours and 26 minutes to complete) and worked again all day today.  Oh... and a before work leadership meeting with my "inner circle".  And tomorrow, it's vacation time.  You'll have to wait and see the surprise.

If you're local and wanting something fun to do this weekend, Emery is hosting a metal stamping class at the new MoJoy Studio.  It's a 2 hour class, and you'll learn to stamp jewelry to make a ribbon bracelet, as well as design 2 pair of earrings.  You'll have the option to buy extras as well, to use as gifts for friends.  Would be cute little Easter gifts!!  Maybe more on that tomorrow!

Peace out.
