A week at a glance

The snow began Monday at 2pm- it was so pretty- big white snowflakes. Unfortunately it was short lived and was followed by sleet which made the day not so pretty. I decided to stay at work until Brad could come and get the boys so that I would not have to drive so far in the ice only to come back to Cape to watch Brielle in the Nutcracker. Brielle was out of school on Tuesday and was able to be my teacher assistant for the day- I really wish I could pull her from her school and just teach her the trade of teaching preschool- she would be a scholar- she is pretty much the boss of my colleg girls already :) Anyways- she enjoyed the day and at nap Brad came by- since he was out of school also- and picked up Brielle and Blake to take them for ice cream and then home for a playdate. Tuesday night Brad, Gram and I went to watch the Nutcracker production again- what an experience to see your child on the stage with professionals!! I told Brad this is equivalent to watching Blake or Brady play with the NFL! When we left the show it was icing again- it took us 3 tries to make it up the driveway- I am surprised that a friend of mine did not have the video camera set to record the event!! Needless to say Brad and Brielle was out of school again on Wednesday. Brad drove us to school and he went into the office for a short time before going home to fold all of my clothes- what an awesome husband! Heather's son Parker was able to hang with Brielle and Blake for a bit at school before Heather collected the three of them to go to her work for a while- thanks Heather- they had fun!! Thursday came and went and Friday was a whirlwind between Christmas parties at school and a flat tire that leaded to needing a new tire (on the tire without a warranty- go figure!!) 4 wheels realigned and balanced, tire rotation, and a new battery- Merry Christmas to ME!! (thank goodness I had bought my awesome new camera the day before or someone may have tried to pull that one over on me!!!) Friday night I babysat my aunts foster children and played with the kiddos!! and
