Wednesday 1/6/10 - Snow Day!!

Since we were "blessed" with a lot of snow over night (it's STILL snowing), I decided to stay home today from work.   I figure it's safer than trying to drive 120 miles round trip on slick roads.  People drive stupid on a "normal" day.  I'd hate to imagine what they're like on snow and ice!  YIKES!!   I thought my odds would be much better staying home helping Jack wrangle two punks for the day...lol.  Atleast we're not out numbered at home (sometimes I wonder!).   We had a lot of fun being home together and stayed busy (as always).


  This is a picture of what it looked like at our house today!  Snow is pretty when you get to stay home!

We ate waffles for breakfast this morning...YUMM-O!!  Jacob ALWAYS insists on having a TON of crap on his tray while he eats. The items can range from magnets, cups, toys, empty containers, combs (clean of course), etc.  You name it, he's had it on his tray.  It can be very frustrating at times to feed him.  When he's finished with a particular item, he throws it on the floor and then cries for something different.  Sometimes it can take up to 45 minutes or longer to feed him because he doesn't have the "RIGHT" object on his tray to play with.  So, I can pretty much kiss having warm food good-bye for now...lol.   Today, at the moment this picture was taken, the "correct" object was a Santa container with candy in it.  Only he doesn't know there's candy in it cause I haven't taken the protective seal off yet!  Haha! 

Jacob eating his waffle.  Of course, I can't feed it to him with a fork.  I have to put the pieces of waffle on his tray so he can pick them up with his fingers to put in his mouth HIMSELF.  That way he can rub all the extra butter and syrup off his hands in his hair.  Atleast he walks around smelling like maple syrup instead of poop and barf all day!  Haha!   Don't worry, he gets a bath after naptime...lol. 

This is where food goes that isn't wanted or when he's finished...on the floor.  OR if he decides Lucy looks hungry, he'll throw his food on the floor for her to eat.   We've learned to keep Lucy out of the room until Jacob is finished eating. :)  Atleast we know when he's done!

Miss Brianna eating her waffle. 

"Shhh!  Mommy, when you see this phone up to my ear, you need to stop talking!  I can't hear!"  Brianna's been told this on several occassions when I'm on the phone. I swear, they both know when I'm on the phone and must decide (more like plot) that they need something that very instant!  They usually don't stop until I get off the phone.  I've had to tell Brianna that it's rude to interupt someone when they're talking to someone while they're on the phone, in person, etc.   Apparently, I've made my point VERY clear if she's telling ME that now!  She purposely will hunt me down, regardless of where I am, to tell me this!  I believe she was talking to Meemaw in this picture.  It's hard to remember...this girl pretends she's talking to EVERYONE!  Is this a sign of what my future phone bills are going to be like?  Oh brother!
