SNOW love it or hate it !!!

I have been neglecting my blog for a month or so...now its time to catch up !!! A few weeks ago we had our first big storm (not counting the October SNOW). I remember being young and just loving to get in the SNOW and play for HOURS !!! Not so much anymore...it seems the cold goes right to my BONES !!! But my kids LOVE it...in fact they are out now...Logan hates the SNOWbecause now he has to shovel SNOW !!! Gary will NOT buy a SNOW blower...he says that is what Logan is for...and yes he just came in complaining about it...Im thinking im NOT going to buy one just so Logan will have to do a little work !!! HAHAHAHA...yes I guess im the MEAN mom...as I sit here with a smile on my face blogging about it !!! I started this blog as a HAPPY SNOW story and now...I am laughing my butt off cause I can hear Logan outside shoveling and COMPLAINING how much he hates it !!! Good thing my camera is right by me...I took pictures from the safety of my front room window...If I open the door to take pictures Im lible to get hit with SNOWBALLS or a SHOVEL full !!! Oh GOOD TIMES !!!

We do have SNOW shovels but Logan had to use this one to scrape the ICE !!!

Okay so yesterday was Logans first JR. High basketball game and let me tell you I was cracking up the entire game !!! Its been 20 something years since I have been to a Jr. High anything and let me tell you NOTHING has changed !!! Well except the cheerleader skirts are shorter and some boys had facial hair !!! They still put all the playere names on basketballs around the gym and the cheers were the exact same...I thought we made them up !!! " A Wha A Wha A Wha A What you got spirt yeah yeah we got spirit yeah yeah yeah we got spirt !!! Holy crap !!! Logan even had to wear church clothes on game day!!! The varsity team lost but JV won !!! And just so you know...The cutest kid on the court is still a CHAPMAN !!! (At least I think so!!!)

Kinda looks like a missionary with the back pack !!!

A little blurry...I yelled for him to stand still for a sec...then Gary yelled at me...this is basketball not a photo op he says !!! RUDE !!!

When he got his jersey he was really excited about the number !!! Those who know basketball will understand !!!

The Ugly Witch

Today I went to Abby's class for scarey stories. Those kids are so creative with story telling and Abby is one of them !!! Most of their stories were about a 1 1/2 pages when it was Abby's turn she kept reading and reading...yes in true Abby fashion her story turned out to be 4 pages !!! I complimented her afterwards and said "Wow you wrote a long story". She laughed and said "Yeah when we were practicing I only got to read half of it". I thought it was so funny I had to share.



One day I wasn't good at school and my teacher made me stay at school but she forgot about me and left. I looked at the clock and it was 7:00 so I thought, "I live close to the school, and I left I saw a bush moving and I heard HE!HE!HE!" I looked and I was a Witch! She had long black hair with cob webs and rat hairs and cat hairs she also had at the end of her long, pointy green nose. The mole had a wart on it in the same spot it had hair out of it. Her skin was light green she had red eyes. She was wareing a black dress and a cape. She asked me where I lived and I said, "where do you live?" she whispered "I live in a fores where theres a cave with other witches and I flew here where do you live?" she screamed I said "I live just down the road why?" "Because I want you and your family to try my soup." she said smiling. "Sorry but I'm not allowed to try stuff without my Mom or Dad trying it first I'll talk to you tomorrow after school bye" I said quickly. I ran quickly home and I told my Mom I saw a witch. She said NO WAY! So I ate my dinner and I went to bed. That night I got out of bed and I ran down to the school and I ran in the bush where the was. The witch said HI! and her cat said Meow! Then I thought I'm tired and I ran back home and went back to bed and slept good. I got ready for school. I walked to school I was half way there and the witch swooped me on her broom stick and took me to school I told my teacher I saw a witch but she didn't believe me. That day I was so good in school that Mrs. Hendericks let me go home when everbody else did I went in the bush and the witch swooped me on her broom stick again I got home and she came inside my house. My family met the witch and we even had her soup for dinner !


Abby told me that when her teached edited the story "she crossed out like a million ands"....really... so now there are only 1/2 million !!!
