Nemo: 24 hours later

Here's what that serious snow I was talking about looks like.  Kids hated it... well they hated the wind that was blowing, Dylan hated it - his old bones don't hop over the snow like they use to.  We tried pulling the kids on the sled over to our neighbors house - but as you can tell from the pictures that didn't happen.  But eventually we made it over there just in time to hop in the newly snow blown path.

2 feet of snow was our measurement this morning - but it's still snowing....

Nemo: 12 hours later

We are halfway through the blizzard and it's crazy out there. 
At 8:30pm, 12 hours after the snow started, we've had 2 flickers of power & a measurement of 1 foot of snow.

Family trip down to the mailbox!

Nemo

If you haven't heard Blizzard Nemo is about to dump some serious snow on us.  50mph gusts of wind will blow 18inches - 24inches of snow into our backyard. Awesome.  

They cancelled all activities and schools last night. Walmart was a mad house.  There was a line at the Liquor store at 9am this morning and yes, I was in it.  Water, Milk, Bread, Batteries & Wine.

It started snowing while I was getting the kiddos ready to make the trip to the docs for their well visits. They were pretty excited to see the snow falling....just wait my little ones, just wait.  This time tomorrow the snow will be as big as you.



Which leads me to my next topic - how big the kids are:

Logan is a lean mean 32lbs and he's either 37inches or 38inches or somewhere inbetween - he couldn't stand still long enough to get a good height measurement.  Basically a 50 percentile kid.  He wears 3T shirts & some 3T pants but those slender hips have him in mostly 2T pants.  His feet (+ PattiBobs) slide comfortably into size 8 sneakers

Reagan is 24lbs and 33inches - slightly under average for weight and slightly over average in height.  Which is ironic cause if you plug in my height and weight thats what it says for me too (lol) She wears an even size 18 month in everything but I foresee moving up to 24 month clothes sooner than later. She has a couple size 5 shoes and a couple size 6 shoes.

Day one of the new normal

With Daddy at work, Logan at school and Grandma & Grandpa gone this was Reagan & I's first official day of togetherness.  We went to the gym, we browsed the aisles of T.J. Maxx, we swept the floors & folded a load of laundry & then we went outside to wait for Logan coming home from school.
 And no activity would be complete without her throwing a completely random fit, followed by some sort of gorgeousness.
