snow 2010.

I know I've been a slacker. And I apologize. It snowed here in GA on February 12th. Not just any snow. It was a blizzard to us southern folks. And here it is, February 24th, and I'm just getting around to posting these adorable pics of my snow bunny. What kind of mom am I?

We got about 5 inches of snow, once it was all said and done. So pretty. I wish we would get a snow like this at least once a year. I don't think it has snowed like this since the early nineties. P loved it. He drug all of his beach shovels and buckets outside and shoveled snow until the sun went down. He must have felt obligated to clear the driveway before his daddy got home from work.



I tried to get him to make a snow angel, and this was about as far as we got with that.


In true southern fashion, we went to the grocery store for bread, milk, and firewood and snuggled up by the fire that evening with mugs of yummy hot chocolate. I love making priceless memories with my family. These warm and fuzzy moments are what make my world go round.

The next morning, I had to be at work at 8am. And the roads were a mess. But my sweet husband put his life on the line to make sure I made it to work on time. He makes so many sacrifices for us. Plus, I think men just have to prove themselves sometimes. The early morning light was beautiful. I took loads of pictures hanging out the window while Taylor was driving.





We are fortunate to live in the South, where snow storms are a treat, rather than an inconvenience. And then the snow melts, and everything returns to normal.

pint-sized picasso.

We may have an artist on our hands. He takes his painting rather seriously.


He uses a variety of brushes to obtain just the right texture. He mixes colors to get that perfect shade of cerulean blue. He even paints with both hands. My little ambidextrous artist....


Check out his first masterpiece. I guess he's an impressionist at heart.


I have confidence that his art will be showcased at the Louvre one day. I better go ahead and get these pieces insured. Such a proud painter.


I love his incredible seriousness. He keeps us laughing.

splish splash....

P loves the bath.

let them eat (cup)cake.

I love reading about up and coming hot spots and am always looking for something new to do with my family. I got a great tip from one of my favorite bloggers, Bakerella, about a quaint little cupcake shop in Atlanta called Little Cake Bakery. And who needs a better excuse to check them out? They sell gourmet cupcakes, for crying out loud! And my boys were eager to give their taste buds a break from all of my recent Skinny Girl meal creations.

We spent fifteen minutes deciding which flavor to choose. Their selection was ginormous. P didn't care. His taste buds don't discriminate. He wanted all of them.


We bought three cupcakes, one for me, one for Taylor, and one for P. Although, I do believe P ate two and a half of the three. We finally decided on a basic chocolate/vanilla one for P. You can't go wrong with this classic.


Taylor chose the other two: Marie Antoinette (their signature) and Boston Creme. Yummo.


P barely let me snap pictures of our divine little treats before digging right in. All he could say was, "Get in my belly, you pupcake". No, not really. But from this facial expression, you probably get the picture. P takes cake eating quite seriously.


He can shovel in some sweet treats. Using both his hand and a fork. He didn't waste any time.


He definitely got his mama's sweet tooth.


Check out this sweet little spot next time you are in the ATL. You won't be disappointed. Now, let's see if I can get some sleep with this crazy sugar high.

pajamas.

I love pajamas. P's pajamas. And only the footed ones will do. My favorite time of the day is pajama time. Something about dressing my fresh-out-of-the-bath boy in a pair of cute, cozy (and footed) pajamas makes my entire day.


Unfortunately, I know the days of footed pajamas are quickly dwindling. Soon he will outgrow them and I'll have to settle for two-piece Buzz Lightyear pj's. If anyone knows of cute footed nightwear that comes in 2T, please let me know ASAP. I'm on a mission to find some.
