This is my cute little velvet doll I got from an Etsy seller. Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever laid eyes on?

Well, we got the winter storm we were promised...this is my long, slow and snowy commute home (took me an hour longer than usual). It started snowing around 12:30 and is still snowing...Tom just got in from blowing the driveway for the second time. Of course the kids are hoping school is cancelled tomorrow and I think they just might get their wish.

What better way to fight to pain of knowing we have a winter storm warning for tomorrow (up to 10 inches possible) then with some spring cupcakes...lemon cake with cream cheese frosting and Easter sprinkles...mmmm mmmm good!

The kids talked me into going to Target to "look" at Rock Band...we found it on clearance so couldn't pass up the low price. OK...gotta go play the drums! (Pam and Tom are a bad influence!)

I have to admit, I'm quickly losing interest in this whole project 365...maybe if we could go outdoors in this God forsaken tundra we live in I could have a little more variety in my daily subjects and be a little more inspired than I seem to be lately. We're back down to 7 degrees (and I'm cussing as I type this) and the extended forcast isn't promising AT ALL. Six more weeks of winter my you-know-what...more like three more months, freakin' Minnesota! Anyway, since there isn't anything else to do besides sit indoors with 4 pairs of socks and 6 sweaters on this is a picture of my latest project. I'm trying to think of creative ways to display pictures for Shelby's upcoming graduation party instead of the usual boring foam core full of random pictures. I'm making a book of all 18 birthdays (although the 18th won't come until after graduation) minus birthday #3 since there doesn't seem to be a picture of that party in existence.

PG asked about the results of our family oscar party picks: Dad got 17, I got 12, 16 year old got 11, 17 year old got 10, and 7 year old got 9. After I saw how dad was crushing everyone I decided that the loot would go to the winner among the kids. I guess if you picked anything Slumdog Millionaire was nominated for you were good to go!

We're having a little family OSCAR party complete with concession stand goodies. We printed ballots off the web and each made our picks. The one with the most right wins the prize ($10)...Good Luck everyone!

Saturday night, we had planned on going bowling but open bowling didn't start until 10PM. We went back to Pam and Tom's, ordered pizza and played rock band. What a blast...we laughed so hard!
