It's been great having gma/gpa here! They arrived in time to watch the last 1/2 of the Super Bowl =) The kids had 2 snow days last week and I have a feeling they will have another tomorrow. It has been snowing all day here. We have so much snow it's not even funny. This is the most snow Cincy has had in a while. As we are not alone. The kids only have 1 more snow day then the days get added to the end of the school year. We took gpa out for his bday on Tues to his favorite place-Paxton's in downtown Loveland. His other fav place is Cheeseburger in Paradise. Madison had an ear infection last week and is feeling better.
Scott was off Friday and bought us a new dishwasher. We went this weekend and bought new furniture for the living room. A couple of couches, chair, end table, lamp and a leather ottoman that is big enough to sit on. Gpa/Scott painted Hayley's room a limey green. Looks very cute! And the painters are here today painting our entryway and hallway upstairs. Tomorrow they do 2 of our big walls in the living room. I'll have to post 'after' pic's. We have color and it's GREAT! It's going to take a little getting used to but it's wonderful.
It's official! We have made reservations for a condo in Rodanthe NC in July!!!! I can't wait! It's only 600 miles from here-shorter than Mn!
Well, that's about all for now. I need to get something warm to drink-I'm freezing!

A's........summer vacation
All is well except for a few sicko's in the house! Brent & Maddy are home again today and Scott is home today too. We can't shake the crud! We need to because gma/gpa are coming on Sunday! Gpa's bday/Valentine's day and Hayley's straight A report card are to be celebrated! She's had 2 B's and all A's but this qtr she had all A's! Brent and Maddy's report cards were terrific as well.
Hayley and I went with church a few weeks ago to Kids Against Hunger to pack food. There were so many people there that she, 6 other girls and another mom I know packed the toothbrush, comb, toy bags. We got a ton done and the girls had so much fun doing it! It felt wonderful to know those bags will help someone. The toys were so cute too.........I hope the kids like them.
I'm excited.....I'm in the midst of finding our vacation rental in Outer Banks NC for this summer! YIPPPPEEEEEEEEE! There are mostly 5 bdrm + houses and we don't need that much room. I have found a condo right on the beach in Rodanthe! It's where Nights in Rodanthe was filmed. But anyway, it's beautiful and I can't wait to go! It could be a one way ticket for all I care =) No, now is not the time to think of moving again but that's my next stop somewhere on the coast. A family that is friends of ours here have a timeshare in Myrtle Beach and that's our next vacation!
The barn is great and I can't wait for warmer weather as I'm sure the horses can't either. The rescue had to put 2 down last week. One was old and failing and the other was quickly going blind due to mistreatment before she came to the rescue. The rescue however has 3 new horses. One looks like a dalmation! So many spots. He's a little antsy and one of the girls was working on his manners with the stall door open and I think he had enough and decided it was time to go. He charged his way out of the stall, knocking the volunteer down and into the concrete wall. She thinks she may have broken a rib. I keep my distance from the horses I don't know too well.
Well, I better go and get ready for work. I need to stop and get a Starbuck's for hubby and me.
