Enlighten me, please!

Can someone please tell me why kids refuse to sleep in when there is no school? Every school day is a challenge...first, just getting the kids up and out of bed is not easy, but also dressed, fed and out the door for school...that starts early due to too many snow days! Why, when there is no school, do they decide to wake up BEFORE 7am??? I'm looking forward to this day of fighting, whining and being their servant for the day...NOT! I'm going to be especially strict and boring today, so that maybe on Monday they will be excited to get up and go to school!
Have a great weekend!

Wine Tasting at the Snowden's

Wanted to share pics from the Snowden's wine tasting. We had a sophisticated night of wine tasting and intellectual conversation! (wink, wink) You had to be there to hear some of the "non-wine tasting" conversations! Really, our friend are always a lot of fun to get together with, even if we do have a hard time keeping the guys under control! Mandy and Curtis did an awesome job hosting. They had 6 different selections of wine and food selected to complement each wine. Even Josh, who doesn't ever drink wine, admitted that he enjoyed it and actually found a wine he liked! However, I noticed that not even five minutes after the wine tasting was over, he already had a Margarita in his hand! Thanks for a great evening Mandy and Curtis! You totally outdid yourselves!

Not quite Hello Kitty!

Tonight is the Amanda Arnold Carnival. A friend of mine made an adorable Hello Kitty cake for the cakewalk (hence the title), but the boys and I took the "semi-homemade" approach. We bought a frosted cake from Dillons and decorated it with licorice and mini M&Ms. I just wanted to sprinkle it with little M&Ms, but Jackson insisted on a pattern, of course. Anyway, it ended up being me that decorated it while Jackson gave directions. All in all, it was fun.

Watch out David Beckham!

Ok...so David Beckham probably won't be intimidated by my little 4 year old!:) Carson started soccer last night, so I thought I'd share some pics! He thinks he pretty big stuff now! He has a couple of little friends that play as well, so I think it was nice for him to see a familiar face out there. Of course, it was absolutely freezing last night, but Carson hung in there and had a blast! I guess it wouldn't be Spring Soccer Season without a little drizzle and 40 degree temps!
