Snow and Darkness and Party Time!!

Welcome to the Manor Ultimate Blog Party people! Make yourself at home! Take a look around and get to know me and my family! I have 3 wonderful children ages 4, 2, and 12 weeks (as of today!!). My husband, who will certainly gain instant saint status upon reaching heaven for putting up with the likes of me, is a loan officer (let me know if you're buying a new house or need to get a home equity loan and I'll give you his number!) and loves to fly control line airplanes. I work part time as a preschool teacher and the rest of the time I'm home with my kiddos! I'm a cradle Catholic and LOVE my faith. It has only been recently that I came to this realization and I'm excited to share it. I'm always in search of great ways to share and explain the faith and it's riches to my children. I've found that there is not much good stuff on the net for very small children. If you have great ideas, please send them my way! I also like talking about my kids and lately have been sharing my struggles with weight loss after having 3 kids in 4 years!

So settle in. Go to the sidebars to find out more about the funny name of this blog. Introduce yourself via comments! And come back often!

Now for your viewing pleasure...Here are pictures of the blizzard that blew in yesterday and last night!

My front yard and car...


My backyard!


I know, I know...if you're from a place that gets actual snow then you're laughing your head off right now. But this is big time here in Big D! Big Bear wants to go out and build a snowman! I am trying to explain to her that there is not even enough to make a snowball. Poor dear. The sad thing is that several weeks ago I lost Big Bear's heavy coat and haven't found it. So she only has light jackets. Furthermore, I can't find any of our gloves. So...I don't think we'll be going out there anytime soon. I'm such a bad mom.

So instead, we're sitting in the darkness of my house. No, the electricity didn't go out during the big bad blizzard. For some reason, all of the light bulbs in my house have decided to go out at the SAME time. And we have NO light bulbs. Oh, and the milk is almost all gone and so is the juice. So, I'll either have to make the milk and juice stretch big time or pack the 3 kids up for my first trip to the grocery store with all 3 kids by myself. Hmmm....stretching it sounds good to me!

Well, that is it for now. I'd better get things done before Campo wakes up! I want to have time to go and visit some other party people later! Ta ta for now!

Okay - prizes I want if I'm lucky enough to win...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE????
