WHAT?! Another Snow Day?!

Well, Jack Frost hit us again last night, and seriously, I woke up to a good 4 new inches of snow on the ground. Well, I got out of bed, started to get ready, only to receive that phone call about ten till 6 (I'm already mostly ready at that point.) It's our McDonald School phone tree - starting up. My reaction, "You've got to be kidding me!" Seriously, it's been 8 snow days this season. Never have I seen it like this before. I guess the roads were drifting terribly and since we have a lot of students who ride buses, we had better keep them safe. So, hot chocolate for me and the kids this morning, a brief trip into school and then playing with one another all day. It's March 27, will it ever get warm!?

Hayden turns 6!

Ok, this was a hard one for me to gulp down. My little boy turned 6 on March 25. I was so busy with his family party and Easter last weekend that the moment that 3/25 rolled around, I literally got teary. He, of course, was on overload. Could barely go to sleep the night before, didn't sleep well and woke up really early that morning! Needless to say, he was about falling asleep on my lap at dinner that evening! We went to one of his favorite places - Wingers - because they serve popcorn on the tables! Anyway, he had a fantastic time and is looking forward to his "friend" party tomorrow afternoon!

Blog Tag... You're It!

Hey blogging world! It's my turn-- the "chain letter" has come my way via Angela of mom-e-moirs... thanks Angela! LOL! :-)

The rules: Link to your tagger and post these 3 rules on your blog.1. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.2. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.3. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Ok, I'll give it a whirl:

1. I started tap dancing and jazz dance at the age of 3 and continued until I hit Junior High and sports. I even placed at local contests!

2. I think about having a third child A LOT!

3. I love taking the kids to Starbucks on the weekends or during vacations. Something about sitting there enjoying the sights, sounds, and tastes with the kids just makes a morning perfect.

4. I have a habit of hitting the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings when it is going on. I usually like to buy a fresh bouquet of flowers but feel strange if we don't make it down to Friendship Square to experience the culture and local prodcuts.

5. I love to put on kids music and dance with my kids. We'll often have "dance offs" at our house and I really love it! I also love to belt out the tunes while the music is playing, thinking I can sing just as good as those musicians, when in all reality, I can't!

6. I love to work on the computer... I think I get it from my dad. I love searching for great deals, cute stuff, etc. I try to do it when the kids are napping, or at night... or whenever! Doing it with a cup of 'joe is even better!

7. I'm like Angela, I can't pay for something full price unless it's absolutely needed. I refuse to buy something full price and then 2 weeks later see that it's half off. It's irritating. I love to Ebay as well... that's also addicting!

I'm not to the point of having seven blogging friends yet... so I'm not tagging anyone yet... but I will one day!

Haircuts - the clean up!

It was clean up mode for the Thompson kids today. First of all, I'm the type of person that enjoys having her son's hair short. Hayden's was getting way too long for me, but I wanted to get a cut close to his birthday... I'm cheap, I know. Anyway, it was also Kennedy's turn to get her hair cut today. She had 3 inches cut off!!! This kid's hair is going to be like her mom's - THICK! It's so soft right now, I hope she doesn't lose that! Here are some of their pictures, all cleaned up!

A New Camera, finally!

Well, it was due time. We finally bought a new camera. This is the first official picture I took on it... before I even read the instructions! Looking forward to taking many more wonderful shots with my new tool! It's going to be a hoot! Especially if these two continue to pose like they do!
