Day 15- Sunday 1.11.09 - A very lazy day. About the only thing accomplished was giving the kiddos a bath. They really like bath time. Well except for washing their hair. They always make a huge mess out of the bathroom by splashing water everywhere.
Day 16 - Monday 1.12.09 - I love facebook. It's been really nice keeping in touch with friends and family from far away. It's nice to have a sneak peak into everyone's lives. I try to update what I'm doing and thinking via status updates. Here's what my updates have been for the few months

Day 17 - Tuesday 1.13.08 - I must have my coffee daily. Starbucks is most preferred but to expensive for everyday. I white chocolate mochas in the winter and carmel mocha frapachino in the summer. I usually get Starbucks on the days that I have to close. If Dr H beats me to the coffee pot I'm out of luck. I can't drink his coffee because he uses 3 times the normal amount, resulting in a really thick coffee "syrup" It's a nice excuse to treat myself a few times a week.
Day 18- Wednesday 1-14-09 - This year could become the snowiest winter in history for us. Last year this time we had 17.9" This year to date we've had 34.9" Last year was the 4th snowiest winter in history with a total of 53.9" We've got 33" more to go to make history. It's a record I would prefer not to see. I'm really sick of shoveling snow. Here's the stat's courtesy of KWWL
- 67.8"…1950-51
- 59.4"…1961-62
- 57.6"…1992-93
- 53.9"…2007-08 (updated Apr 4)
- 52.5"…1904-05
- 48.8"…1928-29
- 47.2"…1996-97
- 46.6"…2000-01
- 46.3"…1978-79
- 46.2"…1971-72
Day 19 - Thursday 1.15.09 - Jayden is very much playing the 2 year old these days. This picture she is demonstration her defiance in saying "Noooooo!" with her whole body. We here that and "Minnnnneee!" about a hundred times a day.
Day 20 - Friday 1.16.09 - Baby it's cold outside! More records for the record book. I took this picture before work. When I looked at the weather channel at home it was -27 not even factoring in the wind chill. I got my nails done and of course couldn't put my gloves on and smudge my polish. In less than 5 minutes from there to work my fingers were numb and hands were really red. The heater couldn't even keep the car warm. I heard on the radio you can get frostbite in less than 8 minutes and if you throw a glass of water in the air it freezes instantly.
Day 21 - Saturday 1.17.09 - Books are a big deal in our house. Trevor wasn't thrilled about having his picture taken. I couldn't even get a smile after bribing him with chocolate. Jayden's shirt says, "I can't talk yet but I have a cow girl attitude" it's very fitting. Subzero temps and the kiddos won't keep their socks on!
