Snow Pics Part II 2011

Told ya it snowed 8 inches around here......

Our humble abode covered in snow......ahhhh how peaceful! Yeah, I know it is time to take down the Christmas wreaths. I am working on it....I promise. I don't get in a big hurry taking down my Christmas decor plus it takes 4ever taking down 12 trees!!!

Just call me...Snow Princess! hehe

Kiddos and Pepper running from the camera as usual! Notice the Wal-Mart sacks on their feets? You know you are red-neck, when you wear plastic bags on your feet to keep them dry! hehe Gotta buy them boys some boots!!!

Reminds me of a GIANT Snow Cone!

Pepper enjoyed being with his family in the snow!

National Champions....War Eagle!!!!

Every Auburn fan BIG or small is celebrating today (and the rest of the yr) for their HUGE victory!!! We are the 2011 National Champions!!! Auburn beat Oregon 22-19! War Eagle...HEY!!!

Let it SNOW.....

We have not had this much snow in over a decade according to the local news today. I measured 8 inches....have a picture to prove it BUT for some reason Blogger will not let me upload any more photos. I still have several to share of the snow!

Views of our backyard........

Also, since we got a new computer, I cannot rotate my photos on Blogger. What is up with that. I rotate them BUT when they are posted they are back like this!!!! HELP!!!!

The snow is very fine and powdery......no chance of making a snowman this time around. So.......

We made snow cream instead. Enjoyed every bite!!!!

Tablescape Thursday~Christmas 2010

I am joining Susan from Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday. I have not participated in TT in many months. I was not planning on this week either, BUT I had taken a couple of pictures of my dining room table. So, here they are..... You have seen these Christmas plates before from last year. I used a piece of burlap as my layering piece, and I placed my sleigh and reindeers on top. I made the sleigh arrangement a few years ago.

The reindeer were purchased a The Dollar Store a few years ago. I placed a few evergreen picks, peppermint ornament balls and other ornaments throughout the arrangement.

Thanks for stopping by. I wish each and every one of you a peaceful, healthy Holiday Season! Merry Christmas to all!!!

Where in the world have I been the past 4 months or so.......WORKING!!! I have joined the "real world", and I got a teaching job after being home for 12 wonderful years! I have been sooo busy that blogging has been put on the back burner for a while. I still blog surf and check out what you guys are up too....BUT I usually don't leave a comment. Sorry! I am teaching 1st grade at a wonderful little school about 15 minutes from home. It has been hard not being at my son's school, but we are slowly but surely adjusting. :) I was hired two days BEFORE school started, so I had a lot of work to do getting my classroom ready. My best friend from grade school has been a blessing. She has helped me so much and has given me all of her teaching stuff (she is a librarian now).

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. I sure did. Out of school for a nice little break.....I am busy cleaning and decorating for Christmas. I will try to post more often. I miss keeping in touch with all of y'all.

BTW....WAR EAGLE !!
