Snow, Curise Club & Pics! - 75/365

It was a busy day today!

Reagan was going to be spending the day with Nana, since she was still there from her PJ party last night. It was actually going to be nice today, so they spent some time outside and built a little snowman with what snow was left in the yard. She was thrilled!

I was going to meet Laura and Matt at the Silver Bridge in Mill Creek Park to take some engagement pictures for them. The session went great! I cant wait to see them all finished!

This evening, we were all meeting at Inner Circle for Cruise Club! We got our next cruise booked and we are so excited! We love getting the whole group together every so often just to talk cruise and plan for the next one! We always have a great time! It was a fun day!

Brinkley was pretty excited today because his March, Bark Box came today! It was Island Paradise themed. He has a toucan, message in a bottle, tiki guy and some fun treats! He was thrilled!

First, Reagan and "Arthur's cousin"

Winter Storm & Arthur is Back- 330/365

Winter Storm Warning today. 

I have to admit, it feels a little early for an actual "warning." Oh well. 

 We headed out to the store this morning to grab some stuff to get us through to Thanksgiving, before it got too bad. 

Reagan and I, were just going to hunker down and ride it out the rest of the afternoon. We had a nice day just hanging around. We played dollhouse and just watched the storm roll in. 

It started really snowing around 1:00. We finally went out to do the first shoveling around 2:30, before her nap. Her new snowsuit hadn't come yet, so she had to wear last years. It was a little short, but it got the job done. She had a ball shoveling the snow. She couldn't quite push her shovel with her mittens so she asked to take them off. She didn't even complain of cold fingers. She loved getting snow on the shovel and dumping it on Brinkley's head. He didn't even mind, he's always burying his head in the snow! By the time Jim was due home from work, it was REALLY snowing. It usually only takes him 10 minutes to get home from work, but this afternoon, it took around 30. He didn't see any wrecks, but he did see a firetruck and an ambulance. 

Once he got settled, we decided to all go out and play in the snow, even though it was dark. We thought it was the perfect day to bring, Arthur, our snowman, back to life. We have a little kit and when we built him last year, we named him Arthur. Reagan actually remembered his name! It was amazing! It didn't even take us that long. The snow was excellent packing snow. It was nice being out in the blizzard bringing Arthur back. We had so much fun! 

The photo of the day is Arthur!

Goodbye Arthur - 9/365

Today we had to say goodbye to a good friend. The sun decided that it was time to take our snow friend, Arthur away. When I went to run some errands this afternoon, I noticed his face and buttons had fallen to the ground and his hat was tattered. 

Arthur was a great snowman and watched over our yard day and night. I have to say, since Arthur had been around, no one had driven in our yard! LOL! 

Arthur came into our lives on December 29th, 2012 after the December 26th snow storm. Reagan loved to go outside and visit him and always waved when we pulled into the driveway. 

He will be missed...

Here is Arthur pre-sunstroke - 12/29/2012
