Maple Sunday 2012

Iz and I headed out mid-morning yesterday for a simple Maple Sunday. The weather was rainy and cold so, instead of tromping around in the mud all day we just stopped at our local sugar shack for a bottle of syrup and a sample of maple ice cream. Then we visited with Pap for the afternoon and headed home. 

Just because we kept things simple doesn't mean that we didn't have our usual Maple Sunday dinner... :)

It Happened Again!

It seems like. since Iz started school last Fall I haven't really been as committed to the ole blog as I used to be - part of the reason is because I feel like I barely see my girl, part is that I don't take nearly as many pics as I used to and I know that's all anyone wants to see anyway and part is because things have been pretty darn boring around the L house for the past couple months.

But here's a little catch-up for you....

First of all...

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY

Jimmy Jim Jimmy Jim Jim Jim Jim!!!!!!!

(how on EARTH is he 20 already?!?)

My CNA class is going well. It's taking a lot more of my time than I had bargained for (studying for the test we take EVERY class!) so that's affected the blog. Plus, that's 3 nights a week that I'm not home with my 2 favorite people and I know you don't want me to recap the stuff I'm learning...some is interesting, some is gross. but most of it is just plain BORING.

Iz was home sick for an entire week from the 12th to 16th so that was rough for everyone. I've never seen her so sick before but she went back to school Monday and made it through the week...though now Hubby has it and he's been struggling through work for days but is spending the weekend crashed on the couch - poor thing :( Not to sound heartless but I'm hoping *fingers crossed* that I don't get it.

Tomorrow is Maple Sunday and we're keeping it low key this year - just going down the street to our "local" sugar shack for some syrup and ice cream.

Then Monday the Book Fair starts. I'm the chairperson so I'll be pretty much living at school for the week. Craziness, I tell ya!

Hopefully I'll have some pictures for you SOON!

Happy Saturday!

Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

Ugh! This one was wicked hard to narrow down to one, but I did it anyway.

Then...

...and now :)

Day 12 - A picture of something you love.

The "Green Beach" - Wells, Maine

Trilogy

These just came in the mail today!!!

It's 63 degrees out today so we're headed out to enjoy the SUN and WARMTH but I see a

MOVIE MARATHON

in our near future :)

Coming Soon . . .

18 more days until THIS movie comes out!

SO excited! If you haven't read the books, you MUST! Get them from the library, the store, for you kindle, whatever! Just READ THEM! Disturbing but oh so good!

Mel and I are already planning a date to go see it - and if it's even HALF as good as the book I'll be happy :)

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

Kids, animals, spouses, partners, the elderly . . . I don't understand it and I hate that it even exists in or world :(

You Know What They Say . . .

March comes in like a

and goes out like a

It's been snowing here since about 10 last night and expected to continue snowing ALL.DAY.LONG. and well into the night.  You know what that means?

No school for Iz today, no school for me tonight, and Hubby's staying home from work . . . a fire blazing in the wood stove, soup and homemade bread for dinner and a whole day "stuck" in with my family . . . sounds PERFECT to me :)
