Christmas 2012

Come On!!!!!

I want some pictures and info posted and REALLY soon.

Our weather Wednesday PM to Thursday PM......

Storm total snow accumulation...5 to 8 inches of snow is expected in the watch area. Local amounts of up to 10 inches will be very possible with drifts even higher.
Winds/visibility...winds will become very strong Wednesday night from the north northwest. Sustained winds of 25 to 33 mph are expected with gusts over 45 mph possible. The strongest winds are expected a few hours prior to daybreak through noon Thursday. Blizzard or near blizzard conditions may occur with visibilities reduced below one quarter of a mile from time to time.
Impacts...very dangerous conditions are expected to develop on Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Be prepared for very difficult travel and blizzard or near blizzard conditions. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow...sleet...or ice accumulations that may impact travel...in this case snow. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts. If forecast confidence regarding the strong winds continues to increase...this watch may be upgraded to a blizzard watch today.

Storybook Parade

Here are some pictures of the Storybook Parade, where kids dress up as characters from books they've chosen.  It just so happened that the Storybook Parade was on Halloween, and many of the kids dressed up as the same characters later in the evening for trick-or-treating.  I've always appreciated the school's willingness to give the kids a Halloween party without calling it that AND tying the event to reading, thus negating the efforts of the narrow-minded mouth-breathers who would otherwise complain about celebrating Halloween.

The last picture was taken before we went trick-or-treating.

Pumpkin Carving

Here's a couple of pics of AJ and Nathan feeding the ducks that live in our pond.  Their names are Ben and Casey Aflac (get it?)

Pumpkin Patch!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to a really cool pumpkin patch up in Hernando County (about a half hour from where we live.)  It was on a farm with haystacks and a corn maze.  It was a gorgeous day, and we got some really good pictures of the kids.

Fenn Halloween House

We really did our house up for Halloween - today, we finally took the rest of it down.  Good news is, only a month or so to Christmas decoration time!
