Snow Day!

Finally!  Snow!!!!

This snow storm fell on a weekend, so no school got cancelled, unfortunately.  But it was fun to play in!

The snow didn't stick around too long, but long enough for Willow and I to build some snow castles.

And then smashing it!

It's Snowing!

Snow is always exciting, even if it's only a tiny bit!

Seahawks vs. Chiefs!

The Seahawks came to Kansas City and we were able to get tickets to the game!  We spent the weekend with our friends up in Kansas City and went to the game together!

I colored the only part of my hair that might be showing at the game, blue.  :)

 It was so cold, I had handwarmers in every pocket of my jeans, inside my gloves, and any other place I could get them to stay!  For Willow, the girl child who prefers to wear as few clothes as possible (sock and shoes and coats come off immediately when she gets in a car or home), being all bundled up and me shoving handwarmers in every available place was a bit of torture.  :)

The girls made it through the first freezing quarter and were rewarded with cotton candy!

And then it was right back to being bundled up.

 

Yes, I have two hats on!

 The outcome was sad for us Seattle fans, but it was really fun to get to be at the game!

Halloween 2014!

Halloween fell on a Friday this year and we got to visit both kids Halloween parties at school!

First up, Willow's class!
Willow went with being Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony this year.

Willow, the luckiest game player of all time, won all 3 games of Bingo!

In the afternoon, we got to go hang out with Jayden and his class and play games with them!

 At home, Willow decided that she didn't want to wear Pinkie's wig with her costume, she wanted her hair colored pink instead.

Royal dressed up as a mad scientist, I went as another My Little Pony, Rainbow Dash.

Thanks to it being so freaking hot all week, our pumpkins started melting and my pumpkin, which started out with teeth began to look like an old man who forgot to put his dentures in.

And as hot as it was the weekend before, it was freezing Halloween night for trick or treating.  Kansas, your weather kills me!!!!!

Sun and Snow

This past weekend, we got a taste of summer.  80 degrees (with stupid winds), but it was hot and sunny.  Royal and I did more "fixing up the yard" projects.  We put down more landscaping bricks and then I convinced, forced Royal to expand our flower bed and rip out a bunch of grass.  He was not really pleased with me, but I'm not really sure what else he thought he was going to be doing all day.  :)  I had asked earlier if he had anything that he wanted to get done during the weekend and he said, "No".  Big mistake for him as it turned out.  :)

It was hot and the kids had their first water fight of the season.  I filled up a big garbage can with water for their refilling station, but they turned it into a pool. :)

And after our fantastic summer day on Saturday, Sunday brought a thunderstorm that cooled us off from 75 to about 50 degrees in 15 minutes, then that night, it snowed and we woke up Monday morning to this.

Kansas Spring Schizophrenic Weather Strikes Again.
The End. ( Please can I move somewhere else???? :) )
