Snow WEEK.

Well the snow is STILL here.
So after 3 days of cancelled classes they finally decided to make us all come back.
While, every surrounding county, and the county our college is IN cancelled school for the entire week.
LAME.

But I can't complain, I really enjoyed having a few days off to spend with my family!
Here's our snowman we built on snow day #2:


Campus was closed today until 9:30.. and my only Thursday class is at 8am.. 
So I didn't have ANY classes today.
:)

So as a result, Ally and I decided to scrub our nasty kitchen. 
Y'all, I'm embarrassed of how bad it had gotten, but I have a problem cleaning up OTHER people's messes.. and I try to be stubborn and wait for them to pitch in.. but after awhile you just have to suck it up and do it yourself. 

So we hit up Walmart to stock up on FUN cleaning brushes and bucket!
Yes, we are complete nerds at the fact that the following scene thrilled us:


Who knew they had so many cool brush tools?!
So naturally, we bought a selection of 6 brushes!

pardon the roughness.. I'm just trying to be real for you. This is how I look when I clean! ;)
all our fun cleaning tools!
And let me just say, there is nothing like the smell of pine sol!
 ahhh...The apartment smells AMAZING
We spent 3 hours cleaning the whole place head to toe.. and I feel so accomplished!
Let's just hope it stays clean for a while ;)

Trapped in a Snow globe!

This morning we woke to a Winter Wonderland.
Everything was coated in white, fluffy powder.
We suited up in our snow suits,
And ventured out.

Me & Millie
My car, Betsy in the Snow!
Me, Daddy, Mal
6.5" of Snow!
Millie checking out the snow!
Then decided to dress cute for some Pictures!
Couldn't resist a Quick Family Portrait ;)
Snowball Fight
Mal, Mama, Me

Then we suited back up in warm clothes to take a walk around the neighborhood!

look at those pretty blue eyes! 


On our walk we ran into
Ally, Caleb, Griffin, and Clay! (perk of living in a small town!)
 And they were going sledding in the nearby cemetery that has a HUGE hill.. So we walked over there to join them for a bit!
At this point it was sleeting.. and my hair was partially frozen. Can you say cold?!
Me, Mal, & Ally 
Then we came home, ate a bowl of chili, and warmed up by the fire!
 Sorry for the picture overload!
I just can't weed out pictures too easily!
:)

 We ended up walking about 3 miles today in the snow.. but it was SO much fun! I'm so glad I got to spend this snow day at home with my family :) And guess what, Tomorrow I get to spend ANOTHER one with them.. school got cancelled again! So we've already planned to get up and go sledding.. I'm pumped.

Hope the rest of you Southerners enjoyed the snow as much as us!! 
Now time to go cuddle up next to the fire again,

Blast from the Past


I'm at a loss for words today..
The start of every semester is draining. And I've racked my brain trying to figure out what to blog about.. but ladies, it's the end of the week and I'm exhausted. So instead I'm just going to share with you some funny pictures from back in the day.

Since we're expecting snow tonight and through the weekend up at school I dug up some old snow day pictures from when I was little.

Please check the CHEESIN smile I've got going on in the first photo. And then little Mallory bundled up like a snow bunny.. she can't even get her arms by her side for the layers of clothing mama has her in!


And now take a gander at the photo to the left. I wish you could see it blown up bigger.. I got pelted in the side of the face with a snowball.

I'm talkin, ice went all down in my little ear and I STILL remember how upset I was. I think Mama and Daddy probably said "well, just stand by your snowman so we can get a picture!" Because I am REALLY smiling through some tears. hahaha

Hopefully we will get some snow tonight!! Snow days are always the best! unless you get a snowball in your ear of course ;)
