Let it snow!

Well, I guess I am already not keeping up with this blog very well. I will not delete it, though! I have a bad habit of deciding to just start over on things when they aren't going the way I think they should. This is true for most things in my life, scrapbooks, home movies, blogs, journals, you name it, I have probably started it over and over again in hopes of making it better than the last time! If I could, I would do the whole first year of Brody's life over again, but that may just be because I miss his baby-ness so much!

It has been so cold around here lately! I can't even take Brody outside to play because of the wind warnings and below 0 temps. It sucks since Brody's absolute favorite thing is to be outdoors running around and exploring. Plus, when I get bored I end up taking him to WalMart or somewhere to eat. This is not a good thing for our bank account, but that is a whole other post! Usually I can take him to the park or we just play out in our yard, but with the yucky weather, there are not many choices. So I am stuck inside with a very active toddler. My house is starting to show the wear and tear of our days of hard playing. Today I am trying really hard to get it clean, but I feel like I am neglecting my kid when I am scrubbing counters and not sitting on the floor throwing a ball or something to him. Never mind the fact that he is great at playing on his own, I still feel guilty and think I should be focusing all of my attention on him while he is awake. Okay, yes right now he is busy pulling his two ride on toys around the living room and I could be finishing up the kitchen but I remembered my resolve to be a better blogger, even though I don't think anyone reads it! lol. Oh, well, it will be something fun to print out for my child(ren) someday.

Mike called and informed me there is a potluck at work tomorrow and he needs me to make something. Nice to give me so much notice, eh? So I am going to make these really yummy peanut butter cookies with a mini reese's in the middle. My mom taught me to make them and everyone who tries them loves them! So Mike will stop at the store on his way home and get the ingredients I don't have in the pantry and I will make them tonight. At least I don't have to drive in the snow/ice. I hate winter driving, and if I am being totally honest with myself, I can say I am not very good at it! Thank goodness I married a Canadian, he's an awesome winter driver!

I am off to make mac & cheese with cut up hot dogs! The lunch of toddlers everywhere! Oh, I included a couple of pictures of Brody that I took recently. Thought if anyone happens along my blog, they can see how he's looking these days!

Playing outside in the snow for the first time. He had a blast! His new hiding place. He hasn't figured out how to climb back out.
