It's SNOWtime!!!

The weatherman/woman/person was RIGHT!!! It's SNOWING!

Well, it was!

Check this out... It's snowing in my backyard.

Strangely enough, it's snowing in my front yard too, lol.

Just in case the videos didn't do it for you...here's some still shots, LOL.

Oh, and before I leave you to go peel Jayla off the window and stop her from saying (between sniffing, coughing and sneezing), "Aww Mom, I wanna throw a snowball at you!" I want to let you know that she is feeling better today. The fever is gone. However, now I think we're in full fledged cold mode. So she may be home with mommy tomorrow too. Hmmm, what movies will we watch this time??

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

It's HOT!!!

Ok, who's idea was it to be so STINKIN hot today? Huh? WHO?

ARGH!!! I'm not quite to the miserable stage yet...but I'm getting there. It's 3:33pm here right now and it's finally getting "cool". It's 91!! I think it got up to about 95 or 96 today. That's just REE-DICALUS!!! :-)

And then you'll have days like next Thursday... where I'm gonna have to break out the full length leather coat, the gloves, the hat and snow boots. It's ONLY gonna get up to 88 that day. Brrrr!! LOL. Welcome to GEORGIA!!

Another way to tell you how hot it is here...me and Jayla were at our neighborhood pool at 10am! I NEVER go to a pool in the "morning". But I thought it better to go then...as to not subject my daughter to a "rolling boil".

Anyhoo...what do you guys have planned for the weekend? Anything fun? We don't really have any plans that have made their way to THE calendar. So we'll see. Who knows, we may go back to the pool tomorrow so Jayla can show her daddy how she swims across the pool with her big ole pink arm swimmies on :-). And I'd like for him to see how conscience our daughter has become about her lovely brown skin. Now, before she gets in the pool, she flings her arms out to the side, throws her head back and says, "MOM...SPRAY ME!!!" I think she just likes being able to wear sunscreen, lol.

Well, that's all for now. How bout some flowers? I sure hope they don't die in this heat...

Sorry, I couldn't decide which one I wanted you to have...so you get 3 pix :-) ENJOY!!

Have a great weekend! Talk to ya next week.

It's still comin down...

Happy Saturday ya'll.

Well, here we are on Saturday afternoon and the white stuff has started back falling again. Actually, it's been snowing all morning. How cool is that? Here's some pix for you...

This first picture was taken of our backyard from our playroom window around 10 this morning.

Here's another shot from that same window, looking towards the other side of the yard.

Now here's our backyard again, taken from our Master bathroom window...which is right next to the playroom window. This was taken around 2:30 this afternoon.

Another shot from the bathroom.

And finally a shot of our front yard, taken from my studio. This was also around 2:30pm or so.

It's alot colder out there today than it was when it snowed earlier in the week. Right now, the temp is reading 31 degrees. But I will say, it's absolutely gorgeous outside! Jayla hasn't even ACTED like she wants to go outside, lol. When she first noticed it was snowing this morning, she said, "Shoot, Mommy...don't worry, I don't wanna go out there today. It's too stinkin cold!" LOL. But she is enjoying looking out the window.

On a funny note, this morning, I was fixing some pancakes for breakfast and my MIL was watching the news in our family room. They were talking about the weather. Then, along the bottom of the screen, a list of church and school closings starts scrolling across the screen. My MIL and I got a little bit of a kick out of that. It's Saturday...aren't the schools closed today anyway? LOL

Ya'll enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Added: 2:57pm

Right as I was about to post this, I looked out the window and noticed the strangest thing. Check this out:

Do you see that? Those are black birds in the trees. NEVER have I seen anything like this. At first, I saw them up in the trees in our neighbors yard. Then, they flew over and landed in our yard (2nd pic). After a few minutes, they all flew...at the same time, back up to the trees (3rd pic). It was amazing. I'm sorry, I don't see stuff like this that often :-). So this was pretty exciting to me. A little spooky (The Birds), but cool nonetheless. Ok, I'm done now. :-)

Her dreams came true...albeit close to a month late

...Yep, that's right, Jayla's dreams of a white Christmas finally came true...TODAY! :-)

Well you guessed it...it's SNOWING!!! It started today around 4:30pm. Jayla looked out the window and saw the flurries coming down, and she just about stroked out on me. "MOM...it's really SNOWING!!!" she screamed. Then she noticed my friend, Stacey's kids running around in the yard. So of course SHE wanted to go out too...Stacey lives 3 doors down from us.

You know, I'm a sucker for any "Kodak moment". So we went on out. The girl could hardly get her shoes on the right foot :-).

Well, here are a few pix from our belated white...uh, Christmas.

This was the first time we went out, which was close to 5pm. You can barely see the little snow flurries. And *standing* there was about all there was to do at this point.

Trae even joined Jayla as she ran through the "snow".

Here's a picture I took from my studio window. This was around 5:45pm.

Ok, now the cold white stuff is starting to stick to the ground. Jayla BEGGED to go back outside and try to make her very first snowball. I told her I didn't think it was sticky enough for snowballs. But we could go out and try it.
Here she is trying to scoop up enough snow to prove me wrong.....

Well, wouldja lookie there! It's a big ole snowball! Check out the smile on her face...can you tell she's a little excited?
And doesn't every child have to try and catch a snowflake on their tongue? I love this picture.

Ok, that's about all the Ga weather I have to show you for today. I'm just hoping that it doesn't get icey and they have to close the schools. The county we live in will close the schools at the drop of a dime if they see so much as an ice cube on the ground. So hopefully, it doesn't get too bad over night.

Before I go, I have 2 more pix I wanna share. I've mentioned before, I think, how Jayla loves to play dress up and have pretend play. When she gets home after school, she actually reads to her dolls and stuffed animals...so cute. But on this day, I guess she didn't feel like reading. Check this out...
I think this is hilarious! Here are Jayla's "kids" watching Noggin on TV, LOL. Then, today, while she was at school, I saw this...
This is her "daughter", Anna, watching a *movie*. But that's not the funny part to me. The funny part is, Jayla wanted Anna to recline and be comfy. So she propped her up in front of the TV...in a DUMPTRUCK! LOL

I love it!
Ok, really...that's it for tonight. You guys have a great evening. Continue to BE INSPIRED!!!
