SNOW!

It is snowing here in Dallas, Georgia! I took these after about 30 minutes...






Since there is no school tomorrow & we don't have to go anywhere, we are thrilled with the snow! There is a possibility of us getting 3 inches or more of snow...I'll believe that if we see it.

This week...

...George has been in California, leaving me here alone with my girlie-girls. While George has been at his convention (being honored as Toro's "Rookie" Service Man of the Year!!! I hope I got that right)I had a few things to do...

I took Emily went to the ENT today. He is pretty sure all her ear infections and sinus infections are due to chronic sinusitis (like me) or adenoids. We will go for a CAT scan (next week I hope) and then see if surgery will fix it or if she is destined to be sick every winter like her mother. I honestly don't know which is the better option...I hate her getting sick, I hate the idea of her having surgery.

I needed to paint Ella's closet. I knew it needed to be done but the other day i saw the black hand prints on the wall that were NOT from anyone in my family and realized it could not be put off any longer.
Ella's room before:


Now it looks like this:



all because I needed to paint her closet.

Speaking of closets, I don't have one. Well, there is one in our bedroom but it is FILLED with George's things, look:

That is my queen size bed COVERED with all of his clothing...I wish I had taken a before photo (I had to sleep on the couch!)... this photo just doesn't show how much is there, it was overwhelming. After I emptied it, it looked like this:

The closet was still the green that our bedroom was when we moved here. I thought the dark brown would be too dark for the closet, especially since it isn't very big.
Now it's all painted:



I tried to get everything back together but, well, something broke in the closet. There are these silly little plastic things on the wall that help support the shelves & when I tried to hang the shelves back up I broke almost every single one. So now, I need to go but a dozen more & then I can hang up all his clothes (I think I counted 100 shirts...and he has some with him). Tonight, the clothes are lying in a neat stack on freshly vacuumed carpet...tonight, I get to sleep in my bed.
