Marvel Sleeps

 

Marvel looks sooooo tired here.  He looks like he is REALLY sleeping.  That's a good ol' crashed picture.

 

Park Time!!!

It's Spring!!  Time to start going to the park again!!! 

OK.  It was a little chilly.  But it was at least a little warm and sunny.  Goofy has a friend over for a sleepover, so we stopped by the park for some fresh air and to get rid of some energy.

 

Rod decided to snack on the kids.  :)

 I was trying to take pictures and he was peeking into my lens.

 What was really funny...the boys kept saying, "Take my picture.  Look at me."  I was taking their pictures, but Rod and I were laughing our butts off cause they had no idea what the pictures were looking like! 

And look!  There's that darn big foot again.  He's always at the park or wherever we go.  I don't know why those people on the TV show, 'Finding Bigfoot" can never find him.  And can they really call that show FINDING Bigfoot?  They never find him.  Shouldn't it really be LOOKING for Bigfoot?

 Hee hee.  Goofy was coming out of Rod's hair.  :)

Anniversary

Yesterday was our 20th wedding anniversary.  (I am working on a post about that, but it isn't ready yet.)  Rod brought me home flowers and we went out to the Cheesecake Factory.  YUM!!!  That place is A-MAZE-ING!!  It's a little pricey, so we won't be going there regularly, but we will be going back at some point. 

Here are the pretty flowers that Rod brought home for me. 

 

Of course, with as nice as they are, nothing will ever compare to the flowers he bought me for our 3rd anniversary.  Well, it wasn't exactly the flowers, but the card.  I'm not even sure if I kept a picture of the flowers.  (They were 3 red roses and baby breath, just so you know that I do remember what they were. )  But this card......I have kept!

 

 

Can you tell why?  HE SPELLED MY NAME WRONG!!!!!  This was our 3rd anniversary....1996.  We started dating in December of 1989.  So 6 years and 3 months later, he still didn't know how to spell my name.  Then, he has tried to tell me that the girl at the flower shop wrote it.  I know his writing! 

When he gave me the flowers yesterday, I DID go in search of a card, too.  Just to see.  He didn't put one in there.  Don't put in a card....can't spell the name wrong.  ;)

New Baby

I went to put the baby in his bouncy seat and found that we apparently had a new baby that needed the seat.  Widget was standing beside it smiling, so I think I know who may have put the puppy in there.

 

Widget's Parking Job

If this is how Widget is going to drive, he is NEVER getting his permit!!!

He pulled his car in between Rod's truck and his van.  It's STUCK!!

 

 This is from the other side.  On the plus side, Widget has a new word......stuck.  :)

 Rod pushed on it a little and was able to free it for him. 

Computer Issues

OK.  I know the blog needs updated.  I have been having computer issues.  My laptop is now going to have to go visit the laptop doctor.  Rod toldme I could use his laptop and he even said I could download my pictures to it.  But IT doesn't work either!!!!  I THINK I may be able to use Rod's office computer and possibly update the blog.  But if I do, I will only be able to use pictures from my phone because Rod doesn't allow me to download pictures to his computer.  We'll see if it works.  If not, keep checking back because as soon as I have my computer back, I'll be posting pictures!  Marvel turned 6 months old last week, and I have pictures of that.  I took something else that I can't even remember now with my camera!  I guess we'll just all be surprised with what I post when I can!  :)

Our Snow Day

We had our big snow of the season today.  The hyped it up on the news as the biggest snow storm since 2011.  I'm not sure if they realize that 2011 wasn't that long ago.  I'd be more impressed if they could have said an early 1900 year instead.

 

I looked out the boys' bedroom window this morning and saw that black spot on the top of my car.  It looks like there is no snow on part of my roof.  I momentarily panicked.  I thought someone forgot to close the sunroof and my car would have snow inside.  But it's OK.  I remembered that I don't have a sunroof.  :)

 

After a completely unsuccessful and disappointing day of shopping, we came home and went sled riding.  Dingy wanted to go and we took Goofy.  Dippy declined our invitation and I made Widget stay home.  He gets cold quickly.

 

This was only the second time Goofy has gone sled riding.  The other time he was somewhere around Widget's age. 

 He was aiming for the snowman someone had built at the bottom of the hill.  We go to the school and use their hill and snow.

 Goofy was soaked by the time we left. 

 They decided to roll down the hill.

 Dingy was falling. 

 Like Goofy's new jacket?  We just bought it Sunday for $14.  Down from $68!  He broke the zipper in his old one last week.  I wasn't going to get him a new one for this year, but couldn't pass up the price.  And possibly Widget and/or Marvel will eventually get it, too.

 Goofy went down the hill on his back, using his jacket as a sled.  Dingy needed to try it.

 She didn't go as fast as Goofy. 

MMMmmmmm........Donuts!

Dippy was bored on Saturday.  He came down around dinner time and said he wanted to make donuts.  He found a recipe and went to it.  The recipe said to sprinkle them with powdered sugar.  He glazed them instead.  They were AMAZING!!!!
