Just another snow story...


I will take total responsibility for the snow we received yesterday.  Just yesterday morning, I was telling my friend in California that I thought we were done with snow!  And I even mentioned to her that I might be jinxing Cleveland...and I did!  Yesterday afternoon it started snowing, again! But this snow was my favorite kind, it is the kind that actually sticks to the trees.  Everything just looks so beautiful.  The bad part is that it is wet snow, heavy to shovel and messy.  I took a couple of pictures this morning.

St. Patrick's Day

I am a few days late, but isn't that the story of my blog?  We decided that we wanted to make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day.  Well...I never made it to the store to buy it.  So instead this is what we had:
We did have corned beef and cabbage on Tuesday...salty is all I can say about that!  I much preferred the Filet Mignon, green mashed potatoes and green beans!

5 green and speckled frogs!

I decided four days a week without Dru at home with me was not enough, so I found a class for her on Mondays!  (Am I a bad mom?)  I also convinced Amanda that she does not have enough mornings without Dillon either, so she enrolled him too!  This class, "A-Makin' and A-Takin', A-Movin' and A-Groovin" is offered at the Beachwood rec center Monday mornings from 10:30-12:30.  Dru doesn't like getting dropped off, but she always has fun once she is there.  This past Monday the theme was frogs.  When they arrive, there is always something to play with on the table.  This week there were frog finger puppets, so I was entertained by the Dru and Dillon Frog Puppet Show!  
Here is Dru hiding behind the table with one frog:  Here is Dillon with lots of frogs!
After the table time at the beginning they make a craft, sticking with the frog theme, they made little frogs, they turned out so cute!  My preschoolers will be making these next week for our frog week!
I also wanted to add, that I really enrolled Dru to help her get ready for next year.  She has a really hard time adjusting to new unfamiliar places and situations.  I try to get her leave my side as much as possible since we only have about 6 months left until kindergarten!!!

Macho, macho man!

A couple of nights ago, before going to bed.  Tyler came down stairs and wanted to show us his muscles.  It was a pretty funny show for Brett and I!  I asked Tyler if I could take some pictures, he agreed...little did he know they would end up on the internet!  I think this is the ultimate blackmail picture!  Hippie hair, boxers, willingness to do this in front of a camera!  Here are a couple of his poses: (don't ask about the face he was making, I think it helped him feel stronger.  Just imagine him groaning "EERRRG!" while striking a pose.)

Annie? Shirley Temple? Dru?

Awhile back my mom bought my girls sponge rollers for their hair.  They are great, they hold the shortest finest hair ever!  When she bought them Dru really wanted curly hair and wanted my mom to fix her hair for her.  So my mom spent probably about 30 minutes rolling her hair, only for her to go upstairs and take out all of the rollers.  I am not that willing to roller her hair knowing she will just take them out 5 minutes later.  Until Thursday night.  Dru took a shower and asked me to put the curlers in her hair so I did.  Here is what she looked like when we finished.

She was a super sport and left them in all night!  Friday mo
rning, she took all the rollers out by herself.  She came downstairs dressed and ready to go.  She looked so darn cute!  The only problem was that she wouldn't let me pick it out.  Everyone at her school loved her new look and she loved making her curls bounce!  A side note, she is really conscience about blinking for a picture, hence the really big eyes to make sure she doesn't blink!

Lamborn blog: Take two!

So, obviously I am a better stalker than I am a blogger.  I have been very faithful reading everyone else's blog, and not quite so faithful to updating my own blog.  I would like to say it was because time in the Lamborn house actually just stopped and we think today is actually December 10th.  Or maybe I could tell you that it just got so cold here in Cleveland that we all just decided to hibernate like bears.  Or just the truth, I lost interest, I lost motivation, and it became so long since my last post, I felt silly starting again.  Well, I will give it another try.  So here is Lamborn Family Blog: take two!
