{ ice storm }

Last night we were hit with an ice storm.  Basically you wake up and everything is completely covered with ice! The powerlines were covered and weighed down to the point of snapping so half of southern Maine is without power.  Luckily, my parents are running a generator so we are hanging out here for awhile. I hope it's nothing like the 1998 Ice Storm, we didn't have power for 11 days! It's only been 14 hours and I'm going crazy!!!!

{ jordan's kindergarten artwork }

I love the first one. It's so typical of our family. Tanner is naked... The second one is of my Dad. He's a plumber. Look at the detail in Jordan's work! The faucet, the wrench... Jordan is such a cutie. He is LOVING Kindergarten!

{ twilight }

My niece Sam and I went to the midnight showing of Twilight on Nov. 21st.  We had been looking forward to it for a long time!  We were NOT disappointed!  We had a great time, but were very tired the next day!

{ white trash bridal shower }

My friend Marcie got married this past Friday so a few weeks ago I threw her a bridal shower. Let me tell you, a white trash themed bridal shower is the most fun and easiest to prepare bridal shower ever! Everyone came dressed in their best white trash attire. It was so funny! Just imagine...camouflage & Nascar shirts,missing teeth, tattoos, bruises, big hair, multiples piercings, etc. I brought in all my patio furniture from outside for seating, served ding dongs, pork rinds, beer (root), cheetos, cheese whiz and crackers, served out of reused cool whip containers. We played games like "Who's the most White Trash?" and the prizes were slim jims, pregnancy tests, beef jerky, nascar dvds, dolphin shaped car air freshners, twinkies, and press on nails all from the Dollar Tree of course!
