Chandeliers at Risk

The Peeps and I have been locked up (sort of, we went to the grocery store) for way too long after a couple of snow days were imposed upon us by the local school district, thus the lack of content here in bloggerville. But wait! There's a light at the end of the tunnel with kids going back to school tomorrow and mom (Me) being all free from endless meal-cookings, dish-washings, clothes-launderings, snow-mess-cleaning-upings, etc. etc. etc.

You get the drift.

So I'm back tomorrow with a belated Monday Me Day turned Wednesday Free From Peep Sloths Day. What in the world will I do with myself? Oh yeah wait... put together a birthday party. Yay! My vote? TABLE DANCING!!!

She's lost it. Completely.

Last Sunday of Holiday Break

So what's a family to do on the last Sunday of Holiday Break? Let's see what's happening as I post:

• Hubs: Examining our leaky dishwasher in an attempt to save us from spending hundreds of dollars toward the replacement of that 10+ year old overworked piece of machinery.
• Kid Peeps: Capturing video of their own homemade version of American Idol, appropriately called Werdian Idol. (Huh? No idea.)
  
• Me: Taking care of miscellaneous bill-paying activities (such as funding Go Phones) between checking on Hubs who is getting increasingly frustrated with the state of our stupid leaky dishwasher.
• The Cat: Napping amongst a cluster of Webkinz on the comfiest fuzzy blanket in the entire house, oblivious to all of the wild craziness taking place in the lower level.

Holiday Down Time at the Homestead

Time flies when you're having fun, right? Well, that's exactly what we're hoping to avoid as we enjoy some much needed time off from all of the hustle and bustle of busy family life. With several days home from school and work, we're all just playing around with our electronics & board games, constructing Lego sets, eating goodies out of our stockings, catching up on reading... the list goes on and on and on.

Meanwhile, here's a video capturing yet another fun family moment:

Recipe for a Happy Marriage

This has been sitting on my desk ever since Hubs and I received it in the mail last month. We've already surpassed 17 years of wedded blissfulness, but adding another prayer to the mix couldn't possibly hurt - especially if it's a Tried-and-True one. 49 years? Really?? Amazing.
