Whats too cold to think about?

How cold it is, LoL! With most of the south drenched in an ice blanket it is hard to make plans, work on projects or even think about spring coming. Here in SE Texas we have had a full four days of 21 degrees at night and not reaching but low 40s during the day.

Not really impressive for you folks out there from up North but for us Southerners it is impressive. Our heaters are working overtime and still not keeping us warm, our pipes are bursting left and right (poor Nathan and Nina experienced this yesterday) and the only thing that is happy about it is our outside pets are liking and getting used to staying inside. :-D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stomach was still bothering me so I stayed home from the assembly this past weekend, even though I bought me a cute skirt and top to wear. Kurt and Bonnie went and had a wonderful time and it looks like everyone else that wasnt feeling well stayed home too. Kurt said there were no coughs to be heard. I guess everyone took the letter from the Branch office to heart and stayed away. We usually have around 3000 people but Kurt said that the attendance was a little over 1700. Thats a lot of people that stayed home.

Was able to crochet on a scarf to match my new brown skirt, and my sewing machine is and has been ready and waiting for me to start on my sewing projects.

I did make a scarf with a 'foxes head' I say loosely 'foxes head' because it actually looks like a rats head. LoL Thought it would be cute and now that I look at it, I think I will cut off the head part and leave the scarf. That should make a few people happy, hehehehe, isnt that right Bonnie?

Campbell and I are enjoying Dora and eating pancakes and sausage on a stick and hot chocolate. Yummy! Though he has had more fun tearing his apart and drinking is hot chocolate. He sounds like his cold is just about done as well, {{smiling}} maybe the both of us can lick this stuff and get on with our life.

Today if we can brave the cold air, inside (lol), we are going to place a larger amount of plastic wrap over our little lettuce plants in a tent like shape. They are starting to peek out of the starter pellets and we dont want to crowd them. Our vegie garden is already started, now to add a few more vegies. For that we have to go to the store and get more seeds though. Our flowers we started havent done anything that I can see yet, but then it is early for zinnias, daisies and marigolds.

Plans for this week:

1. organize Kitchen
2. enter and print out all of the childcare information from last year to give to parents by the 20th.
3. make the fleece flowers to go on Jamie's baby blanket and stitch all of the squares together.
4. cut out and sew the little dress for Jamie's baby
5. sew up the edges of my coaster swap gift for Gramma
6. Start my tea towels for my swap partner to be announced this week.
7. Regular chores

Will have to share pictures after Bonnie gets home with my camera. I have some cute pictures of Campbell helping me plant and check out our little plants and I am sure there is one or two of Bonnie from the assembly.

Have a great Monday!
