Winter wonderland...

for real! and 6-12 more inches on the way. Wow. Apparently this winter is going to be a snowy one!!

So Wednesday I got stuck in the driveway. Again. Really stuck. Mike spent hours shoveling the driveway and around my car, which was stuck by the bottom of the driveway. Seriously this is going to be the longest winter ever, if it takes only a couple inches of snow to get stuck in the driveway. Much to Mike's dismay, I began looking for a new vehicle online. I looked up what our trade in value would be, and sent him links to the big honkin' SUV I'd be happy to drive through the snow (a pink escalade would nice, hehe : ). I got a big "NO" for a response, and he said that I'll be driving my minivan for 10 years (uh, no I won't). So definitely a long winter...well, I guess Ill either have to drive his truck, or his little Cavalier, which actually handles amazingly well in the snow.

So we got our real tree...well, Mike went and cut one down with the kids yesterday while I worked at the Scrapbook Store. I was a little disappointed not to come and take photos of the process, but I had complete trust in his choice for a tree. We like the big fat trees. It's not as tall as we initially thought we'd get (I thought we'd get at least a 10 footer and put it in front of our big window). But we ended up putting it in the corner where there isn't a high ceiling. It looks great and I can't wait to decorate it. The kids did their (new) tree the other night, and it's in the dining room.

I am living off of less than about 8 hours of sleep since Friday....I went to bed Friday around 1:30am and the kids were up by 6 getting their stockings from St. Nick. Yes, it was still pretty dark out. Then last night some friends and I hit the town (my town) to check out the bar scene. It was kind of lame, but we had fun anyways. They slept over and we were up till 5am, the big dorks we are, laughing and taking goofy pictures of ourselves. So I'm a little tuckered out so I'll leave it at that for now.
