March 2015

In an attempt to get caught up on my posts, here are some of our happenings in March.

Visiting George and getting our haircut by students at Mommy's school

Start 'em young!

Aunt Staci's parent's dog, Bella, died suddenly and our Bella went to live with them.

It has been a pretty crazy 2 weeks! We spent President's Day Weekend in Elkin with the Batusic family and drove back just in time on Monday to get home before the ice storm hit. We were so grateful that we had power throughout the week (we only lost it for an hour in the middle of the night) as many were without power for up to 4 days! This was our first ice storm since moving here in 2007 and it was gorgeous (although crazy dangerous)! We were out of school for several days - it was fun to just cuddle up with the girls on those cold mornings!

After the ice thawed, we finally had school on Friday (a delayed start). We had a regular school day on Monday, and then got some snow on Monday night - just enough to make a mini snowman!

School was cancelled on Tuesday and then we had a teacher workday on Wednesday. We left on Wednesday just in time to get home and watch it snow again! This time, we got about 4 inches and school was cancelled once again! We had fun playing in the snow - the girls LOVE the snow!

Check out those gloves! We don't have snow gloves for the girls so they just have regular gloves with latex gloves over top - oh well, that's how we roll!

If rubber gloves weren't ghetto enough, let's just wear our jammies with some rain boots!

Making a snowman with Daddy!

We have another teacher workday tomorrow (Friday) and then hopefully things will get back to normal next week!

Let's go for a hike

The girls love hiking, so we've been trying to go whenever we can and when the weather is nice. This was a trip to Desoto Falls.

SURPRISE!

Lauren threw a surprise party for Chad's 30th and she thought it would be fun for the sisters (and their hubbies) to come down to celebrate. Chad was thoroughly surprised and we had a blast!

The birthday boy!

What a good lookin' family!

Big girl beds!

The girls were getting too big for their toddler beds - so we got them bunk beds! Since they've never shared a room, we weren't quite sure how things would work out - so far so good!
