Getting ready for the BIG SNOW

Yep, we are suppose to get snow tomorrow; Sunday, February 19, 2012!  If we get it, we are looking at 2" to 4" last weather model seen, need to check to see if that is still the case.

This was during the first part of the morning, not much to look at!  This is our chicken coop and this will be their first snow!  You can just see 2 of our chickens, Queeny (black) and Fancy Girl (white).

Will be looking for something to go in the crock-pot tonight for tomorrow and possibly Monday's dinner.  Was thinking soup, but not sure.  The crock-pot didn't get filled, but will.  I didn't get to post this a Saturday, like I was planning and we ended up going out to eat on Saturday night!  Pizza at Pizza Inn, our favorite!!!

About half hour or so later.  Hey there is white stuff on the ground now!  And this is another pic of the coop and run and I think Fancy Girl is in this one, at least it look like her, could be the snow. LOL

And this is the road that runs by our house and in the distance is the main highway.

That's my van, still early, but getting covered!

So Yesterday was Suday (I am writing this on Monday, I am a bit behind) and we ended up having ham, and a few salads (not homemade) and bread, that WAS homemade.  We got our BIG SNOW!  At first we didn't think it was going to do anything because it was so nice out, but by late afternoon and into the evening, the big heavy stuff came. 

Curtis' water table, yep it has water in it!  He was playing in it just 2 days before this snow fall, yep that is how warm it was!! 

The chicken coop again, later in the evening hours.

Front yard, yep our chicken coop in the our small front yard.

I think this is the grill???  You can see how much snow had already fallen, this was about 5:00 PM Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012

Some of the ornimental grass behind the front porch covered in snow.

This is the front yard about 7:30 or 8:00 PM, everything is covered white.

Friday!!

Well it is Friday, made it through another week.

Monday and Tuesday were not good for us this week because we had to be out of the house both days and not a lot if any school/book time was done.  I can't say there was NO school done on either day, because even when we are out running errands, I slip in school stuff somewhere. TeeHee!

We are or already have finished up a few lesson in different subjects, so we will be starting some new lessons today or Monday.  Need to check the calendar to see if there are any appointments next week.  No appointments as I can see, but I am sure that something will come up!

Sore Throat = Herbal Tea

Woke up with a sore throat this AM, so instead of my usual mocha, I am have a cup of herbal tea, black chai to be exact.  

Not sure why I have the sore throat, but I hope it totally goes away!  Got school today and I have to read to Curtis, so maybe it will subside soon.

Long Day!

We had a long day today!

Left early this morning (mainly to miss the traffic) and so Curtis could go get his chicken biscuit from Hardee's.  Curtis had an appointment at the behavioral therapist at 10:00 and we were a half hour early!!  The appointment was an hour long as usual and Curtis had to show all of his Squinkies to his therapist.  He has 25 now!  I will post a picture later.  We talked for a bit and then set up his next appointment.  At that point I went out to the waiting room while Curtis and L (his therapist) had their session.  They mainly play a game or talk about his last few weeks or something that I may have told her about, any meltdowns or other things.

Morning Coffee or in my case, MOCHA!!

Ahhhhh MOCHA

Do you have to have coffee in the morning?  I sure do, but I like to mix in a package of Hot Chocolate Mix.  Yum!!  I usually have my first cup first thing when I get up, but that varies.  This morning I got up at 8:00 AM and an just now getting my first cup at 8:50 AM!!  While Curtis watches Curious George and Magic School Bus, I sip my mocha, trying to get ready for the day!

We won't be home for morning school time today, gotta go to Roanoke, Social Security Office, Sam's and then Toys R Us.  Curtis is going to buy Squinkies at Toys R Us, his new collection!!

We ended up with NO school today!  See why.
