Snowed In

Everyone say your prayers. This weekend we are snowed in with a very chatty 7 year old. Thank goodness we have a lot to do around the house and it is also Super Bowl weekend. Hopefully we will be able to keep busy and no one will go stir crazy.

One week ago today, I surrendered both dogs to the Humane Society of Columbus. It was a very sad occasion but not without comic relief provided by my favorite fat dog Roscoe. Because of Stuart's work schedule, he was unable to take the dogs on Friday when we had planned. So, I loaded up Noah and the two dogs and drove the 20 minutes to the west side of Columbus. We were just about to pull onto the interstate when Roscoe decided that the most comfortable seat in the car was on Noah's lap in his car seat. I, like a crazy woman, pulled off the side of the road and was screaming "get off the baby." It was very comical. The actual turning over of the dogs was sad and the dogs did not make it easy as they very obviously knew something was up and had separation anxiety the second we pulled up to the Humane Society. I certainly didn't do it with dry eyes. We really miss them but we know it was the best decision for our family. I am enjoying a more peaceful household with much less dog hair. Our house is also staying a lot warmer because we're not constantly opening and shutting the back door for potty breaks. Now we just pray that they find good homes.

Noah has decided this week that maybe his crib isn't such a bad place for naps. He usually has a couple naps during the day in his crib and the others either on me or in my bed. I'm not complaining because he's doing so much better with it now than even a week ago. Bedtime is also much easier now. He usually goes down now without much of a fight and has slept for 11 hours straight 2 times in the past week. I am one happy mommy!!!

Today it started snowing around 11 a.m. and it has been snowing pretty hard since then. We think we've accumulated about 8 inches and they're saying we might have 14 by the time it's all over. AWESOME. It's great packing snow too so there might be a snowman or two in our front yard tomorrow. Because of the weather, Cameron didn't have to travel to his Mom's this weekend. Therefore, everyone will be home all day on Sunday for the most important Sunday of the year: SUPER BOWL. GO COLTS!!!

That's all I've got for now. I'll post a few new pics over the weekend.
