Snow Much Fun And More!


If you can't go outside to play in the snow, just bring it inside. Check out Scoop from Bob The Builder hauling all of that snow!

A couple of locals decided to drop by to play!

Chunky decided he was tired of his nose running and traded it in for a new one.

I am not "lion". I want to be your valent'ion'!
Does this tail make me look fat?

It has been almost a month since my last post and for good reason. Chunky has been super sick for almost 4 weeks. I am glad to say that he has fully recovered and has just a few more days on antibiotics. Here is a quick recap. He started complaining that his mouth hurt and ran a fever, and some vomiting. He then became covered in a rash = Scarlet Fever = Strep Throat. He recovers for 2 days, then complains of headache, tummy hurting, and legs hurting????, goes back to Dr and has strep again (Round 2 of meds). Several days later, no better, fever blisters on lips, temp of 102 for days, go back to Dr. (Round 3 of meds). Left eye starts drooping and turning red, return to Dr (has strep still, secondary infection, ear infection, and pink eye). At this point I am ready to scream....gets put on 4th round of meds. Finally after forever, starts to recover. This is why nothing has gotten done around the house and no one has heard from/seen me. During all of this drama, we had lots of heavy snow, thus leading to bring the snow inside for a little fun! Oh yeah, did I mention after all of this, I got pink eye and a sore throat :( . Fun to be had by all! Oh well, we are all somewhat back to normal and are going to the hotel tomorrow to have some fun family time at the water park now that everyone has recovered! Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day weekend!

Cold is a relative thing.......

This is so true.  Today when we were driving we saw multiple people with their car windows down. It was about 50 degrees today.  Someone gave my hubby this joke a few days ago, but it really is true.

Cold is a relative thing...

65 above zero:

Floridians turn on the heat; people in Indiana plant gardens.

50 above zero:

Italian and English cars won't start; people in Indiana drive with the windows down.

40 above zero:

Georgians put on coats, thermal underwear, gloves, and wool hats; people in Indiana throw on a flannel shirt.

35 above zero:

New York landlords finally turn up the heat; people in Indiana have the last cookout before it gets cold.

20 above zero:

People in Miami all die; hoosiers close the windows.

Zero:

Californians fly away to Mexico; people in Indiana get out their winter coats.

10 below zero:

Hollywood disintegrates; the Girl Scouts in Indiana are selling cookies door to door.

20 below zero:

Washington DC runs out of hot air; people in Indiana let the dogs sleep indoors.

30 below zero:

Santa Claus abandons the North Pole; Hoosiers get upset because they can't start the snowmobile.

40 below zero:

All atomic motion stops; people in Indiana start saying..."Cold enough for ya?"

50 below zero:

Hell freezes over; public schools in Indiana will open 2 hours late.
