I would like for you to meet the next American Idol Winner.....Barrett Moore

Well, as you know, I come from a large family of singers...and it looks like my two boys are following in those footsteps! Saturday, we were on our way to Costco...and Barrett (out of NO WHERE) starts singing Here I am to Worship....and bless his heart...he kept singing the same thing over, and over, and over!! I finally got my camera out and recorded what I could (you can also hear Carson a little). Barrett and Carson LOVE to sing...I can't say that is is always in tune, or the right words...but it is music to my ears (well, most of the time).

Here is a short video...

Our blinds are getting hung TODAY!!!! YAY!!!!

Well, by this time tomorrow...I will be able to open my blinds on my windows!! Who would have thought I would get excited about something like that....but we have been living here with NO blinds for a MONTH!!! Yes, you read it right...a month!! Lowe's doesn't get in a real big hurry. They arrived last Monday, but the guy couldn't come put them up until today!! And I love how they say, "We will be there between 9:30-10:30."...whatever - it will prob. be noon! I am o.k. with that...as long as I get blinds up!! I will also take some pictures to post now...I just couldn't post pictures of our new house with sheets all over the windows!! This picture is in our breakfast room...suppose to be a hearth room, but we don't have furniture for a hearth room -- so we put our table there!!!

Carson's Day at Starbucks...

Carson's School was on a 2 hour delay on Thursday...and of course Barrett's wasn't, so I spent a majority of my morning being a taxi!! But, Carson and I enjoyed a great morning together!!! Carson (like his mother) LOVES Starbucks (I know...he shouldn't be drinking that stuff), so we enjoyed a White Choc. Mocha!! He thinks he is sooo big because he drinks coffee...not all the time...just special times!!! I love this picture...he really thought he was pretty big!!

The Boys and The Snow

Today, we (the boys and I) enjoyed playing in the snow for about an hour or so!!! I picked up Carson from school, and we came home -- bundled up -- and headed outside!!! This was Carson's first time to play in the snow....and he LOVED IT!! We all did!! When we came in, I had them jump in the hot shower to warm up...their little hands and bottoms were sooo red and cold!! I will have to invest in nicer gloves and outer clothing for them to play in the snow!! Here are some pictures from our fun afternoon in the snow!!

Barrett's Day at the Museum...

Monday, we met some of our play group moms and their kids at the Children's Museum. This was our first time to go...and we loved it!! In fact...we went ahead a got a membership!! Carson can't wait to go...and it will give us something to do on cold days!! Here are some pictures from our day!!

Barrett LOVED playing in the Snow today!

Today, we woke up to several (well..maybe 3) inches of snow! Carson was on a 2 hour delay, so he didn't go to school until 11:00. After we dropped him off, Barrett and I set off to find a snow shovel and a sled. After we got home...we hit the snow!! We don't have any hills at our house, so I had to pull him around on the sleds...but he LOVED playing in the snow!!

Let It Snow...Let It Snow...Let It Snow....

This is exactly what it did ALL day yesterday!! It was great!! I will admit...I am tired of gray days, but the snow if sooo pretty!! In TN...we would have closed schools at the sign of snow...not here!! They had school ALL DAY! Well, on Wed. they get out an hour early so that the teachers can have professional development time (every Wed. -- I thought that was pretty neat). I got up this morning....raced down stairs to see if school was canceled.....no such luck (I think I am still as bad as I was when I taught school). They are on a 2-hour delay...so Carson will go at 11:00 today. Barrett's pre-school was canceled on Tues. for snow, but not today!!! I am not real sure if he will go or if I will just keep him home. That is a lot of driving for just a short time (especially when I have to have Carson at school no later than 11). Looks like we will just be hanging out at home today!!!

Here are some pictures (taken from inside) of the snow at our house!!!
