Happy First Day of March

Hellllooooooooo March 1st!!!!!!  

We welcomed this day with Snow here in Washington, but only a few short hours later, all the snow had melted and we had the windows open letting the fresh air in the house! And they say the weather in KaNSaS is crazy!!! ;)

Normally, my boys would be all for a schools out Snow Day, they were a little freaked when they read on the Local KOMO News Station that there were some schools with Delays and Closings today due to the snow...they were actually Praying that Mukilteo would NOT be on that list!!! It wasn't, so they were relieved!!!

The nice winter storm we had in January kept them out of school for 5 days, therefore, the make up days are scheduled for the end of the year, so now they don't get out of school until June 21st!!!  They said it seems like they will NEVER get out of school!!!  Ha!!! 

Today has been a long one, as I am anxiously awaiting for Tomorrow at 11 a.m. to get here so I can <Hopefully> find out the gender of this little baby in my belly!!!!! I was very busy today. Wrangler had a play day with Jersey Girl so that kept him busy while I did some much needed cleaning and organizing!! 

March 1st marks the countdown for Many events happening in March!!  
IN just 8 short days, my Great Grandma will be celebrating her 104th Birthday...NO, that is not a TYPO...she was born on March 9, 1908 and she is still as healthy as can be and going pretty darn well for a woman in her 100's!!!! When we visited Ks over Christmas, the boys and I got to spend some time with her. It was definitely too short of a visit, but it was good to see her. 

In just 7 short days, my Grandma D will be celebrating 80 years of life!!!  It seems like yesterday that both these gals were much younger, but they look GREAT for their ages. 

I guess it's true, being active and busy your whole life will keep you going...or if you ask my Great Granny.... "A Drink A Day will keep the Dr. away"!!!  And this is NO LIE!!!  We used to gather at her house on Friday's for "Happy Hour" where she would serve up mixed drinks-her specialty was "Old Crow Whiskey w/ Squirt"....She called it a "Snort"...... :) For those who didn't prefer the Whiskey...she would serve up Cranberry Juice and Vodka.....ohh, the memories we had at her house getting together with Family and catching up after a busy work week!!! For her 100th Birthday Celebration, her Family Dr. of MANY Years came to the party and brought her a bottle of Old Crow.......now that's a GOOD Doctor!!!! :) 

There are many more birthdays coming up this month, sometimes I wish I had a March Birthday...but so many of my family members have that covered already!!!

27 DAYS until we get to head to Ks for our little MINI VACATION!! We are on the countdown!!!!

Now the boys and I are off to frost the "funfetti" cake we made today and cook some Spaghetti for Dinner! 

HaVe a GrEAt Evening!!!!!
