"That's what she said..."

I was reading The Huffington Post and came across this article..... Those of you who are fans of the office may get a giggle.  I have a feeling if this happened to one of our kids Dad might be proud.

"The joke's been done to death, but when it comes out of the mouth of a middle schooler and he gets detention for it, we can't help but applaud. Sure detention sucks, but it was totally worth it. Well done, Dalton, well done. "

Snowstorm 2010.... A Slideshow!

Here are a few pictures of the monster storm that hit us a few days ago.  We were slammed with a massive snowstorm which completely paralyzed the entire metro area.  The snow fell all day Friday and Saturday leaving us with around 32-34 inches of lovely white stuff.... Dulles Airport officially reported 32 inches shattering their all time record.

We've lost several trees.... had no power for about 30 hours resulting with our in-home temperature at 46 degrees.... The Federal Government has shut down today while DC digs out.  We are starting slowly to get things under control... The neighborhood is somewhat plowed... a one lane escape is available... What an experience.

The kids have missed quite a bit of school... and I don't think they will be going back anytime soon... Hopefully make up days won't keep them going until July 4th... hee hee...  Feet are on the ground... ready for more... the next storm is scheduled to hit in 2 days with another 12 inches possible.  We are on record to break the record for the snowiest winter ever recorded for the Metro area....

Maya is sad the "purple team" lost....

Here's a small clip of Lovie's reaction when I told her the "purple team" was losing (the NFC Championship game).  Later that evening after the Vikings lost the game.... Maya asked if the "purple team" won or lost the game.  I gently told her they lost.... sadness filled her face and she climbed up in my lap and started to cry.  I felt like crying with her...

In the clip you can hear Todd yelling to bench Adrian Peterson.... those fumbles were costly.  It was a hell of a game.... either way we had an amazing season....
