They were creamy, warm, and topped with sweet deliciousness (better n pb and pumpkin butter). Doesn’t get much better than this on a snowy morning.
3. I finally got out of the house today by going exploring down by the river.
It was raging!
These geese didn’t fly far enough South.
Isaac’s a lucky duck- he already got word that his school is closed tomorrow due to the snow. I’m watching the Grammy’s in my snuggie and keeping my fingers crossed in hopes of my office being closed as well.
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.
Everyone always told me that Richmond never gets any snow. HA- I’m not sure I can believe them – I’ve been living here two years and we’ve had big snow storms (with over 6-8 inches of snow) both winters. Perhaps I brought the snow??? Here’s the view from my back door. And, remember my new [...]
It never snows in Richmond and for some reason it is tonight!! The view from my back deck: I had an amazing weekend…. it was so much fun! I’ll be back to normal posting tomorrow. P.S. I am loving my new camera. I can’t wait to do a post with the new pictures!
Since I didn’t really get to post much about Christmas I thought I would fill you all in on two of my lovely gifts as they might spike the blogger community’s interest. The first is a Mr. Juiceman Jr. I had wanted to borrow Isaac’s mom’s juicer to try it out and this gave Isaac [...]
It was so cold here today – it’s unbelievable that just this weekend it was 69 degrees and tonight’s low is 26! I don’t really like the cold weather – I feel like my body gets all stiff when I go out into it. This is my reasoning with cold weather – it’s only worth [...]
