Into the Woods Wednesday!

Lucas' BEST day!

Technically, I should have posted this on Maniac Monday, but there were too many cute Valentine pictures to wait!

Lucas goes to preschool 3 days a week. Everyday we get a sheet with curriculum, what he ate for lunch, and my favorite is the Memorable Moments section at the bottom. Being a teacher, and knowing what time it takes to do your job, I would first like to say a GIANT kuddos to those preschool teachers at Lucas' school who have a memorable moment for every child, every day!

So, he brings his sheet home on Tuesday and check out his memorable moment...

I will repeat....

"Lucas is the ONLY kiddo in the entire class who earned 2 prizes today!"

Holy Guacamole! That cannot be the same 3 year old, who the night before, didn't want to go to the bathroom so he just stood up and peed all over the couch! Or the 3 year old who has not earned many "Stop Whining" magnets this week on his responsibility chart!

Needless to say we were so pumped and made a huge deal out of this. We treated him to his favorite place in the whole wide world, Rosa's Tortilla Factory, ON A TUESDAY! Yep, on Taco Tuesday. Now if that's not love I don't know what is!

Maniac Monday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day this year. There have been years, in high school, where Mike would fill my room with roses or spell out "I Love You" with red rose petals, but those days are long gone! When we became an "old married couple" we started celebrating at fancy places like Taco Cabana or CiCi's pizza! Then, as we became a Momma and Poppa, the day got even more lame! This year we went to eat at Double Dave's Pizza, snacked on high fat content desserts, had an Open House for Judy Way, and I went to Zumba! Here are some pictures from our day!

Lucas got a soccer goal from Granny and Papa. Doesn't he look just like David Beckham, sans the soccer shorts?!


Lucas and Keko in matching shirts! What says love like the matching attire!

Lucas getting ready for school with his cool Smurfs Valentine shirt and a smile that melts his momma's heart!

This is the special Valentine from Lucas this year! We named it "Hearty"!

(I am NOT pregnant! Remind me to NEVER wear stripes for a picture again!)

Wanna know what the Woods family does after 5 snow days?

We rock it hard core with Haltom Buff 'boggins, frog jammers, and a plastic microphone!

Happy Friday Peeps!

The New Casa

We have really enjoyed driving out to our new house being built and watching the fast progress they are making. Awesome and scary, since we are STILL trying to sell Judy!

Here are some pics of our new house from the ground up!

Up next: cornice, deck, and shingle the roof!

**Open House this Saturday 2-5pm for our Judy House!**

Maniac Monday!

After 4 days of snow and ice I have to say I was welcoming Monday, which is very unheard of around here! Lucas had a double ear infection last week so he missed school all week as well. Everyday at school we are given a daily sheet of things they learned and a memorable moment. On Monday, there were studying animals and in particular, elephants. Lucas does not really like to answer a lot of questions, so when he volunteers info about school, we take notice. In the bathtub tonight, he told me he was going to tell me 2 things about school and that was it!
In the words of Lucas Corgan they were...

1. Elephants that people shoot are called "in danger"!

2. Cade was not at school 'cause he has in-flu-enza!

Mike went on to teach him the name of the people that shoot these "in danger" animals as poachers, or as Lucas now calls them "pokers". He also told Mike that he was a poker 'cause Daddy has a gun and shoots birds at our house.

*Side note*

Mike did borrow a BB gun from a friend to scare away the grackles in our front tree, but he doesn't shoot birds on our street! I'm pretty sure the teacher (or CPS) will be calling to ask why Lucas' father shoots animals in the city in front of small children! Awesome:)

Iced In Edition

With the massive snowfall Thursday night, we were reduced to eating Snowcream! Just kidding, I saw this recipe on Facebook and thought it would be cool! It was actually really good, minus the yellow snow:)

Not so much a snow bunny!

The only reason to go to school was for some sledding fun!


On our "death" ride to go sledding, we saw several people walking with brew boxes! I guess they are taking the phrase, "Don't Drink and Drive" very literal!
(I would only do this for donuts or cheese pizza!)

Our snowy Judy!

Happy Friday Peeps! Stay warm and remember to walk and get yo beer!

Our Winter Wonderland

I can't believe the weather people got it right this time! We have been snowed/iced/below zero since Tuesday morning! With no warming temps in the next 2 days we are enjoying our little "mini" vacation at home! Granted, I will be crying and swearing this snow storm in June, but right now it ROCKS!!!!!! Our snow days have consisted of rolling blackouts, sleeping late, dressing only in warm jammers and no make up, a fire in the fireplace, hot cocoa, playing for a total of 5 minutes outside until it's too cold to move, too many hours of Guitar Hero, and plenty of good 'ol TV time!

Here are some pics from our snow day(s)!
