If All the Snowflakes Were Candy Canes and Cupcakes...

Oh what a snow that would be!  And we would have a yard full of candy canes and cupcakes which would be delicious.  :)  After last week's snow storm we were hit once again Wednesday evening with about 8 more inches!  Church dinner and activities were cancelled and Jay's classes were cancelled Thursday.  I wanted so badly to stay home in the warm bed and cuddle cozy all day, but unfortunately that is not an option in the "adult 'real' world".  :(  I made it to work safely but things were PRETTY slow at the office Thursday and Friday.  Winter is always a tough time for the construction industry...  Jay and I made plans to go sledding with Jenny and Asante Thursday night since the snow was still fresh.  We had an awesome time!!

Jay has done a superb job of shoveling with our $14 shovel from HyVee! :)

Some cool icicles on our house.

Saturday I went sledding again with my sister Leslie.  She had the day off and we got to hang out almost all day!  The hill at the college was so busy and there was barely any snow left but we still had a fun time.  

This was our hill.  As you can see it was a little worn down.

Sissies.

After sledding, we came back to the house and built a snowman in the backyard!  Great bonding time.  :)  We forgot to name him, but his eyes are made of Hershey's Kisses, his nose a mini carrot and his mouth dog food.  Ha ha.  Hey, we had to get creative.  

Then we came inside to warm up with some hot chocolate and GLEE!!  After glee we headed down to the Hy-Vee for some dinner items.  The necessities of course being Wan Chai Ferry, Pagoda Express Potstickers and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies for dessert!  Yummy.  We also stopped by the redbox and rented The Social Network which was pretty good.  I didn't think it was necessarily deserving of "Best Picture" at the Golden Globes, but I am also not a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.  

Today has been a good, relaxing day.  I did my grocery shopping early and came home to take a nap then watch the Chicago Bears!  Jay has a midterm tomorrow so he has been studying vigorously all weekend.  Tonight I am making cheeseburger soup with beer bread and we might rent another movie or watch more playoffs.  C'mon Jets!  :)
