yank out that tooth

Hayden's top left front tooth has been loose for what seems like forever.  Gary and Hayden devised a plan to get that booger out.  They used dental floss and tied it around the tooth.  They tied the other end of the floss to a remote control monster truck.  Then Hayden hit the go button.

Sadly nothing happened.  The tooth hasn't come out, but I'm sure they will try again and again.

Boys will be boys.

snow day turned snow days

This is our third snow day this week and we got tons of snow for Georgia!

The snow flakes were so stinkin' big!  I can't remember ever seeing flakes that large in Ohio.

Gary was home from work due to the terrible roads, so you know it must be bad.

He had fun playing with the kids and even caught a few flakes.

My fleece hat and jacket were covered in snowflakes.  I couldn't believe how fast the snow was coming down!!

We had a fun day playing in the snow and it was really pretty, but I'll be happy when it melts and spring has sprung!

orange rolls all waffled up

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I am waffling all the things.  

I have been doing tons of experimenting since Valentine's day with my new waffle maker.  I have done muffin mixes and tater tots and grilled cheese sandwiches and even apples and pears with cinnamon.

Yesterday we had a snow day and so I made orange rolls for breakfast for the kids.  They are ok, but I will do the orange rolls differently next time.  I won't smash them all on the hot iron at the same time.  You live and you learn right?!?   I think it would be fun to make them in different shapes too!

The Pillsbury orange rolls still tasted super yummy even though they looked a little odd! 

snow day!!

It snowed in the middle of the night and we have a nice coating of snow!

The snow made Lily super hyper and spastic.  She was running around the yard and the deck like a mad woman.

  

Daisy Mae was not loving the snow.  She's a princess and hates to have wet paws.

I love this picture of her looking down the stairs!

Lily sat on the stairs and watched the action down below.  She's a great babysitter because I was cold!  I didn't want any part of being out in the snow.  I got my fill of that in Ohio.

The kids decided to sled down our sidewalk in the backyard.  

I have to admit it looked fun until the snow and ice melted.  Then the sliding wasn't going so well and they had to move onto another fun activity.

Like building a snow ghost with a pinecone 'bow'.  Ha!  Silly girl!

Hayden found a fun pine cone treasure.  It was pretty cool!

After lunch they headed back out for some sledding in the front yard.  They made tons of snowballs with plans of tossing them at people as they walked down the street, but no one ever walked by.

We had a fun first day of snow here in our new house in our new state!

Single Sentence Sunday

I love Sunday's because Gary and the kids cook brunch for us while I relax and have coffee!

Winter Break with my parents

My parents came to GA for their first visit.  The kids had the week off school so it was a perfect time!

We took them to our favorite breakfast restaurant, as well as other good restaurants we have explored in our new town.

The guys cooked chili and it was so delicious!  Hayden wore his brand new apron that Netsie made him.  He's turning out to be a great cook!

Us girls did girl stuff like hair conditioning and eyebrow waxing while the guys went to the Glock factory.

Hayden looks so official with his badge.

Lily and Daisy had a fun week too with my parents around.

We explored a local gun range and it was very nice and women shoot free on Thursday.

My dad helped me learn about my gun.  He is a great teacher and knows tons about guns.  It's a great hobby to have!

The kids sat with us while we shot and they were so curious.  It was so cold in the range, and they did great even with the cold temps.  I'm so thankful we have the right to be educated about guns and gun safety.  This range even offers a gun safety class for kids.

After shooting we ate a yummy Mexican lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant.  I had chicken tacos and they were amazing and very fresh.  I love their beans and I hope to make a batch as good as theirs soon.  I can't wait!

We had a fun week even though the weather was yucky and cold most of the time.  We're still anxiously waiting for spring weather!  Thanks for the fun visit Netsie and DeDe!
