BRRR!!!

okay winter is hitting way earlier this year than in any year I can remember. I'm just not talking about the cold (which I must say...sucks!) but we have had two snowfalls already. Mind you I'm not talking blizzards. But the first time (October 27th.. if you can believe that) we got a few inches. Friday we just had a dusting but a lot of ice on the roads.. and we had our first official "snow day" from school. Thank God! Ariel has been battling a cold and I haven't let her miss any school because of it so I was glad I didn't have to wake her up to go yesterday.

Last night I started getting the barking cough. Thank God that fit only lasted about 20 minutes. I sounded like a seal. The poor girls have it off and on. All three of them. Another reason winter is not my season of choice! lol. I guess I'm going to have to go out and buy tissues today. Clarity and Emmalyn have the thick green rivers starting to come out of their nose. How gross! lol. I'll be so glad when this home is healthy again. This sick stuff is definitely wearing out its welcome!

Well I'm off to clean the house... it is in desperate need. You wouldn't know I had it okay looking a couple of days ago. With three kids, it's amazing how fast things go downhill if you don't stay on top of things. I'm also going to do my first attempt at making a cheesecake today. I'm excited. I found a recipe for a brownie chocolate chip cheesecake. It looks so yummy. If I make it and it's good, I'll make another one to take over to Grandma and Paw Paw's for Thanksgiving.

On another note, yesterday was my dad's birthday :o) We went out to eat at Ryan's last night and had a very yummy dinner!
