snow snow snow and more snow

the snow here is crazy....well for here it is anyway... the kids are loving it! But now the meltdown begins...2 trees in our complex came down last night....I really need to get my butt in gear and start the christmas countdown.....still not sure what to do about decorating??? Really need to figure out what to take to Big white also........way too much to do!!

here is a funny I borrowed from a friend

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!
1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.

6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in._________________

it's raining it's pouring.......

Rain rain and more rain!! uuuck! so unfortunately the class i was going to take was cancelled so now i will be working tomorrow......was feeling guilty about calling in sick anyway......not too happy though that i short shifted myself, silly me worked last night(thursday) and now am working a day on saturday and then 2 nights......Hopefully the rain will stop long enough to play soccer on sunday.
Found this interesting web site with quizzes that tell you things....apparently if i was single i date like i am 35yrs old, woo hoo younger than i am. Here is the website,http://www.quizgalaxy.com/quiz.php?id=144 there are some funny things there.....here is my obituary
Imploringly while trying to recant, jenn

back and the busy season begins!







tuesday Suzanne and I went to the outlet mall near seattle....fun but apparently my calves are too big for most dress boots!! I did manage to purchase 2 of the cutest purses though and some smelly stuff from the gap.we were staying the night so after checking in we went to the casino for the buffett dinner....not the best, then i lost some money on the slots...a whole 6$, hold me back!! I did however have a great sleep, i quite like a big bed all to myself with no snoring or kids waking me up....wednesday we decided to drive to the "Supermall"-not so super. then up to Bellis fair on our way home. The problem being we were in the storm of the century, the power kept going out in the mall every 8 minutes or so which meant darkness then having to wait for the tills to reboot....it was not meant to be. we had dinner then drove home throught the power outages and raging winds. this actually is quite comical since our origional plan was to go to Tofino for a few nights and watch the storms....people bailed so shopping was our next option.
i am working tonight and then the weekend but am managing to take in an Allie Edwards class so that is cool. Next week is the christmas party for work so i really need to find something to wear!!! then the christmas push is on to get presents, skis etc organized before we leave for Big white. Have a great weekend, think of me in the cold windy rain on sunday for Taryn's soccer game.

here are some layouts i did.... i can never get a good shot of Jackson- he is in the scowling phase when i take his pic -so that is why there are never layouts of him...i will work on it!

neglectful....

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog but there really hasn't been anything too exciting to talk about. I had my stint as a guest designer for scrapbooking store. went ok, I am always my worst judge.....
Nothing new with the kids........rain rain go away........
went to the airport today to drop my dad off-apparently a trip to england to watch some soccer is part of his retirement plan.
went to the Dixie Chicks last night....great show...very funny slagging bush.

that's it for now.
