Finally Outside.

We all played outside this weekend without putting on our 7 layers of winter gear!  It was quite a windy day as you can see by the hair flying around.  I hope you all had a great weekend.

 

Meals In Minutes.

My good friend is opening a new business in Brookings. It is called Meals In Minutes. You can go there & prepare meals or they can prepare it for you & you pick it up. The meals will be fresh and healthy, & best of all you’ll be set for quite a few meals. No more wondering what you’ll make for dinner that night! You can pick from a variety of selections for the current month. Girls…let’s get together & have a girls night out there & make a bunch of meals, wouldn’t that be a blast? It is located by the bowling alley & is scheduled to open Feb. 15th.

High School Musical.

Most of the tweens I know are obsessed with High School Musical (the first & the second one!).  Our local high school put on the musical last week.  They all did an outstanding job.   I don’t have my program here, but the guy that played Troy has an amazing voice.  He sang beautifully, & didn’t miss a beat.  Well, if you did I didn’t notice.  From the cheerleaders to the teachers to the basketball team…you all were amazing.

They just should have held it at another venue as it was a packed house!

I don’t have any pictures because they weren’t allowed.

I do my own stunts.

This is what the t shirt says.  He is so darn cute, but looks can be deceiving.  He has had stitches, broken wrist, broken collar bone, fractured tooth & had to get it pulled.   That is all I can remember!  He is a little dare devil, mischievous,  has a terrific laugh, very active, comedian, & I get to celebrate life with him everyday!  I could not have a better life.   I should add we do have two girls, but they are in school all day long.  I really miss them.  I do have lots of pictures of them also.

Guess & get a prize! (updated)

What do you link he is eating? Take a guess. I’ll give the first person a little something. I haven’t decided what exactly yet, maybe a gift certificate from me, my favorite print from their session if you have had one with me. If you are out of my area & would like a session with me we’ll talk & maybe if you are really nice I might get you a gift certificate. You can post a reply here, or send me an email at kayla@kaylasullivan.com. I’ll go by the time that your message was sent to me the first person is the winner!

WOW! You guys & girls are quick. I guess this one was way too easy! I figured one of you would get it today. I didn’t want the first one to be too difficult. Beth S. is the winner. She guessed mac & cheese. I’ll be in touch with you about your prize.

A high of 5!

That’s right.  The weather forecast today is for a high of 5 here!  It is cold!  To all my friends in the south, you are not cold just because it is 31 in Georgia & you got a dusting of snow!!  We have a friendly joke going back & forth between us where they think they are freezing & school is shut down if there is a speck of snow in the forecast.  I love it here & wouldn’t live anywhere else.  I will admit the winters do get long, but with that said with all the snow cover it is so beautiful.  There is also a lot of various winter activities to do outside.  And, if you can stand the winter here you are in for such beauty in the entire rest of the year.

We’ve been out sledding, ice skating, & also inside for doing some puzzles.

Hope you are all staying warm!

Family.

We went to visit my mom a few days ago.  I have the best mother.  She loves when we all come to visit.  She really values family time, & we talked about next Christmas not giving presents just for us all to be together to talk, play games, eat, & just have fun!  We do all of those thing now, but we are trying to get all the kids to understand the reason behind the season & try to get away from so much commercialism (aka their ‘need’ for gifts).  This year we did the gifts & all that other fun stuff.  She does a treasure hunt for the kids for one of their presents.  They all love this & look forward to it.  A couple of the photos below are of the hunt, reading one of the clues, & running up the stairs.  Here is some pictures of the cousins.  There is two boys in the family that are the clowns.  Can you guess which two?
