I left town on Jan 6th for South Carolina to spend a week with my sister. I had no idea at the time that I'd get snowed in with them! While I was there, I got to be my sister's "bu
siness associate" when she unexpectedly got a call from the largest local TV station to come and be interviewed about her business, Simply Organized. We got to do an "office desk makeover" for one of the news anchors for "Organize Your Office Desk Day." That's him in the picture... Stuart Moore. I got his autograph! ;-) Anyways, it was quite an experience and was a lot of fun. :) Unfortunately, with all the snow going on for a week, it hasn't aired yet, but when it does, I hope I can put it up on here. :)

But it was fun to see her in action!
I also got to see Nathan play in one of his games - and they won, so maybe I redeemed myself. ;-)
As you can see in the picture below, middle school boys come in all shapes and sizes. I just had to put this picture in here because I think it's funny how tall Nathan is!! Obviously, my sister's kids got blessed with some height from their dad's side of the family! Nathan is 6 weeks YOUNGER than Anna and is 6'1" tall... yikes! ;-)
And this is me, my sister and Shelby after the Nathan's game.
And Huntsville wasn't the only place that got snow - we got a bunch in South Carolina, too. Nathan and Shelby were up and out early to go find friends to sled with.
After about 3 hours of snowball fights and sledding, it was time for a hot chocolate break.
Meanwhile, back at home, "Snowmaggedon 2011" was in full swing and Jack and the girls spent an entire afternoon building an igloo. :) The sad part of this was that it got destroyed overnight by some not very nice people who I'm sure thought they were having lots of fun messing other people's stuff up... :( I still think Jack is holding a grudge about that! ;-)
And I guess maybe I need to leave for a week more often, because I came home to the girls being most of the way finished with painting and redecorating their bathroom... and they really did it all by themselves! It came out great! :)
So I got home on Friday and Anna's birthday was Saturday - and we went very quickly from NO plans to sleepovers on Saturday AND Sunday nights with good friends. :)

And dinner at Red Robin with Mackenzie, Natalie, Olivia and Kerry:
***The Birthday Girl***
And finally, the snow melted, MLK day came and went, kids went back to school and things were JUST getting back to normal... and tomorrow we leave for Disney. ha. This is Anna's BIG travel gymnastics meet for the year and we're pretty excited about the trip - this is the first time we've been there! :) So as I sit here tonight, we're pretty much packed up and ready to go as the sleet and snow begins to fall again - and I just hope and pray that it thaws out and goes away before our flight tomorrow afternoon... :)
