We went sledding today!!! But before we could leave we needed to get Olive to do her business. So a good portion of my morning was spent doing this:
Sorry it’s not a very exciting video, but seconds after I stopped recording she tinkled. I guess she’s camera shy. 
We hit up a local park that has decent hills for a little sledding action.
And, getting our picture on snow covered park benches was necessary.
When I say we went sledding what i really mean is that we had a blast flying down the hill on tire inter tubes. It was fun and we ended up doing quite a bit of snow trudging to get back to the top of the hill each time. I happily counted that as my cardio for the day.
I was starving after all the snow fun so once home I heated up some left over Black Eyed Peas with Tomatoes and Greens and made 1/2 of a grilled cheese to go along with it.
The flavor of the black eyed pea dish was even better the second time around- so delicious!
The rest of the day was spent being lazy. Although, I did vacuum the house, lift weights for about 10 minutes and do the Exercise Tv Incredible abs video that Meghann referenced a few days ago. I couldn’t do the Whittle My Middle moves at home because I don’t have a stability ball so I thought the video would be a good substitute. It didn’t disappoint, I have a feeling my abs will be sore tomorrow! I also drank lots of tea and hot water and ate lots of snacks. Let’s just say it’s not good to be snowed in with all these holiday goodies laying around (especially the baked goods from Isaac’s students)! Last but not least, I caught up on my blog reading. My google reader is now below 100, which is the lowest it’s been in over a year!! Hooray to that.
I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring. I’m suppose to go to my family’s Christmas party but I don’t know if the weather is going to cooperate with my plans. We shall see.

Lo
HAHA! Just like Chooey
HAHA OMG too cute! Our dog does the same thing! He HATES the snow and it takes him forever to actually do his business in the white stuff.
Glad you had a nice relaxing snow day!!
hahhaha I think everyone who has a dog can MORE than relate to this video. That is a ton of snow- my goodness. What a great warming meal though. I really want to try making something like that- yum yum
Oh my gosh look at the snow! Grilled cheese is so comforting when it’s cold!
This is my first time posting but I have been reading your blog for a litte while now and I love it! we had some snow here in VA, but no where close to the amount you had. I have a little Shih Tzu and she was so scared of the snow she refused to move if I put her on the grass!!
Sledding sounds fun- I would def. consider that a workout
I love the exercise TV videos- I’ll have to try the incredible abs one!

Food looks amazing, esp the greens!

Being snowed in with lots of yummy treats is SOOO hard!
I sledded yesterday too, down the steps of the library at my school. It was super fun! Have a relaxing Sunday!
aww i know the feeling! Eden would be JUST about to go, and then her butt would touch the snow, and she’d stop haha. crazy now in our parts
I talk to Ginger the same way! With a high pitched voice, it’s my mommy voice! LOL!
Beautiful pics! We got hit pretty hard here in NJ too!
Oh is there anything more adorable than a dog in snow? The dogs I volunteer with stick their faces in it, and come up with a nose full
I love sledding. It is a total workout!
ah! i am jealous of your snow
Love the video! Man you guys sure did get some snow : ) And I think climbing, walking, and sledding equal cardio!!
You guys look so cute in your “tubing” clothes! How yummy to come into those beans and grilled cheese.
