Monday, all 3 of the birds had snow days...even Mamabird got the day off (well...I already had it off but...it was still nice to have it off)
I had planned on getting a lot more done but snuggling with all my babies and drinking hot chocolate can't be beat. Is there anything better, really, than warm socks, hot chocolate and snuggles?
Bird loves the snow...this is the 1st year she has really enjoyed parts. She had to go outside and try to catch some flakes on her tongue and she flopped down in the yard to make an angel. She also assumed that the snow meant Santa was coming. So...this is the 1st year she understands the idea of Santa. Let's hope it turns out to be a good behavior motivator. :)
Beans are soaking tonight for some navy bean and ham soup this weekend...Bird was very chirpy and making loads of yum sounds so here's hoping she eats it. Luckily it is easy to blend up in case she goes on a food strike (she has been sort of picky lately which makes me glad she has her tubie.)
The oldest Hardy Boy has joined basketball...in his senior year! It will be an interesting experiment for sure.
He took his ACT and scored pretty well (which is very good since his GPA is very bad) and now we are just waiting to hear back from his schools. His first choice is University of Minnesota Moorhead (Go Dragons.) Fingers Crossed.
Youngest Hardy is, once again, on xbox lockdown. Poor kid...but he needs to abide by the rules (being a mom is hard sometimes.)
Now, if only they would both get jobs already!!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It's getting chilly up in these parts. Last night, Cori and I ventured down to Northrup auditorium with the Bird and caught the Hong Kong Ballet.
She was enchanted.
We also arrived early enough that the ballerinas were entering, to go to the director's dinner beforehand, and stopped and chatted with her. Mesmerized would be how I described her. Enchanted with all things ballet :)
Luckily, we got there that early because between finding a place to park and the Bird and I having to run all over campus to locate an ATM to pay for parking, Big Daddy Superstar barely made it to his seat in time.
The Bird spent the whole 2 hours staring at the stage and gasping in wonder. A trip to see the nutcracker for Christmas may be in order. :)
We are also exploring the idea of ballet lessons for her. Right now, she is in Just for Kix and she has lots of fun but we think the discipline and order of ballet may be something that helps her as well.
The Hardy Boys continue to plod through school. The oldest has now decided to take up basketball...in his senior year...to stay in condition for track.
The youngest got a pencil stuck in his trumpet...really...I can't make this stuff up.

Halloween has come and gone.
This year I was so excited because the Bird wanted to be a princess...a PRINCESS!!! Princess Anna from Frozen. I spent more money than I care to imagine to make sure she had a really cool outfit. And then...she decided to be a pumpkin.
A real princess...I mean, one year she was a sandwich!!!
Oh well...it will be a nice play dress...a really nice, expensive, play dress.
Her pumpkin is still full of candy and she only wanted to eat candy for breakfast today...she managed real food for the other meals. :)
Today she had a doozy of a seizure...all in all, it lasted about 2 mins and her nose was drippy all day. We had to neb her tonight. Fingers crossed that she is better tomorrow.
The boys dressed up this year but no trick or treating. They both were at friends' houses...empty nest syndrome already.
Bring on the next holiday!!! This nest is ready!!! :)
