- the excuse to not go anywhere w/ four children in tow
- I can stay in my sweats or pj's all day (except for when I leave the house) in order to keep warm
- the snow can be pretty
- hot beverages: coffee, tea, hot chocolate
- reading with the kids on snow days
That's all that comes to me right now.
Yesterday we tried to make butter. Skimmed some cream off the top of our raw milk and had a shaking party.
Everyone got in on the fun, and we were able to produce a few chunks. Haven't tried it yet.
Last night Dennis and I had a date. These date nights are rare for us simply because we are too cheap to want to pay for a babysitter, or to mess with trying to find one. It's ridiculous. But, my man arranged for his mom to come up last night and we went and used his gift card he got for Christmas at the Olive Garden. And for the first time in a long time I wasn't disappointed with my meal. Then we wandered around Target. Yes, we can live it up. Don't be sad that you can't be us. There is only one us.
High Fashion.
And this is what this morning was about. Sitting on the potty. We did get one result in the pot and no accidents as of yet!

Mel, this post is awesome! Is V cold? Why is he wrapped in a towel? Hilarious! Your hunter's hat rocks, but what kills me is Den on the bike. I'm so glad he arranged for a sitter; what a GREAT hubby!
he just hopped on it and went for a ride. he cracks me up. V loves his blanket. He had it on his lap but i didn't want him to pee on it so i put it on his shoulders. He usually goes for it w/ the big jobs. tmi?
