Well, it's been snowing and snowing and it just won't stop.  I guess I expected it but just wasn't r4eady to accept it so fast.  Down south we get a teaser and then it melts first and comes back.  It's been a long year and I didn't remember what this is like.  It is beautiful but it also makes things rougher which can be frustrating.  Getting in and out is annoying and I do wish we had everything plowed.  Our neighbor Jim from border housing plowed up to our place with his ATV plow for fun he says.  We really apprecieated it but now the snow has filled it in and keeps coming. 

I've been baking alot now that we have this wonderful toaster oven.  I made 3 types of cookies in a day yesterday and brought some to our neighbors who do so much for us.  I made ginger snaps with real ginger pieces,  dark chocolate rice krispie squares,  and M & M chocolate chip cookies.  Today I made a pot pie for dinner and apple crisp for desert.  We've made pizza and enchilladas and pumpkin crisp,  toast as well of course.  We're making good use of it and really appreciate it.  I don't even mind all the clean up.  Things are going really well and we're doing really good.

Kids are doing alright.  Fox is getting over being sick, he's still stuffy.  Joie still has a fever and runny everything, poor lil girl.  Ask her though and she'll say she's not sick, no fever, no runny stuff and she does not want tylonal or medicine!  I love her she's so sweet.  Cuddly and she always says I love you and your beautiful and thank you for this and that.  Very polite sweet sick lil girl.  Fox is really screamy cause he doesn't get as much attention when Joie is sick and he wants his way.  He does enjoy his cuddly moments though and it's rare I see him sit that still.

Things are kicken here and I try very hard not to complain about anything anymore and make the best of things that frustrate me.  I have it alot better then alot of people in this world.  so when laundry piles up,  water has algae or a funny smell,  or I find thick mold on stuff in the house that I just cleaned with clorox, I take a breath and think on a broader scale.  It's really all just small stuff that can be fixed.  I wouldn't blog this cause it's not really about all of us,  but I know I'll want to read it in the future.  This blog is for journaling too ya know.
