It snowed 8 inches here in mid-SC on Friday!  It was the deepest snow we have had here in 10 years and the 5th deepest day on record!  Those of you who live up north may not understand the excitement  but us southerners look at snowfall as a gift.

Perhaps though that’s only because it lasts a day or so then everything is right back to normal.  We may not feel so happy about it if we had to put up with snow for 4-5 months at a time!

Regardless, we were all dancing in the streets and building snowmen galore.

On an even happier note, Jack-Evan (who will be two in May!  can you believe it? ) has his very first Valentine’s social tomorrow morning with a group of kids from our local Mommy’s Play Group.  I have some very yummy sugar cookies ready to go (the kids are decorating cookies with icing & sprinkles) and a package of valentines with suckers.  I felt a little bad at first that they’re not homemade cutesy wootsy kind (I’m really NOT into paper crafts), but I got over that feeling really fast.  The ones we did get are adorable little boy sport ones with removable Tatoos.  Quite good enough in my books.  :)   My husband got quite a kick outta watching me boohoo over the baking pan whiles I was spatula’ing out the sugar cookies.  I’m such a sentimental old sap…. my baby is growing up far too fast.  Did I not just give birth to him?

Happy (late) Valentine’s Day!

P.S.  I still haven’t figured out how to get my comment approval working again….haven’t had much time to dig into Wordpress’ backend.  I’m still getting your comments though and they’re all sitting there waiting on me to figure it out.  So please don’t feel bad if you submit a kind word and don’t see it appear for a while!  I’m still reading them and smiling when I do!
