Oh the weather outside is frightful

and there's no delightful fire here. no fireplace for the fire... but the christmas tree is so delightful. it's snowing for the ?th time in the last week. it's been snowing for the past 4 hours or so. i'd guess that we have between 1 and 2 inches of new snow. they were predicting up to 8" tonight from this new storm. i'm just glad that this is winter break, less school that we'll have to make up at the end of the year. so far we're at 2 days to make up. i wonder how much more we'll have when it's all said and done.

i need to get pictures of owen in the snow and in front of the tree. i'll post them when i get them.

i got an hour of total freedom this morning. jeff took owen to the lot while i did some last -minute shopping for both of my boys at target, then i picked up owen at the lot and we went to eddie bauer where i spent the gift card i got from my mom and jim for my birthday. i bought a skirt, sweater, and turtleneck. i went over the amount by 14 cents. not bad. i was so excited to buy mediums and a size 10 on the skirt - and have nothing be too tight!!!!!
