A puppy as your Valentine gift!

It's the day before Valentine's Day... Have you purchased all the Valentine cards and gifts for your loved ones?  Do you give Valentine's to your kids?  

Robb and I are going on a date.   Dates these days are different than when we were first married.  We talk about the kids and gripes...  

Found Maddy in the photo!  I put a circle around her head, but you  can only see it if you click on the picture and get a close up.  The choir sounded great!

The temp is supposed to get above freezing today!!!  I plan to mow.

Meri had an early out yesterday so over my lunch hour, I taught her how to run the snow blower!  It had just snowed that night and into the morning yesterday, so there was at least a few inches to clear away.  I think she has the hang of it!  But while I was inside eating my lunch, she called me on my cell and asked how to turn it off.  The driveway looks okay, not cleared entirely down to the cement, but looking good enough so that you're not walking through snow to get to the cars AND You can get the cars out without a problem.  

What chore can I pass off next...?...

 Meri's Science Fair is tonight at the Middle school!  She did an experiment using 20 kids, evenly split between boys and girls, and tested their memory.  Her experiment consisted of a box of many various items and after studying them for a few minutes, the kids have to try and remember all the things they saw in it.  This is a bridal or baby shower game that I've played before.

BTW

The girls won!!!

She did her poster and folder with all her findings and they'll be on display tonight with 100 other projects. I still have the bounced off glitter on my porch and front snow drift to prove she did it!  

Beautiful!

Ellie the dog is starting to look kind of chubby.  With the garage dog and the state of our garage, I'm really wondering where she'll have her puppies...  Also the garage is still a bit chill to have baby puppies in it.  I could turn on the heater, but criminy!  Slowly the puppy machine has been moving up it's schedule a week or three at a time.  She might have to give birth in the laundry room...  BUT they will HAVE to be moved out to the garage by the time they're walking and pooping around.  And this WILL be the last batch we have.

I better get to work.  Have an awesome day!!  And remember, warm weather is just around the corner!  For some of you, the corner might be a little ways off...  But there is always hope!
