Snow Days

Denver had an October storm blow in Wednesday and brought with it a heap of snow. I remember getting snow in October, but I can't remember a time when we had a storm like this so early in the season. I took a couple of pics with my camera phone (so the quality is not that great) of all the snow in our backyard.

Champ and Butch are absolutely loving the snow. In fact, I can't manage to get them inside. When Champ finally obeys, he walks so slow, with his head down like I am the Grinch that just stole his Christmas. I dry them off, go back to work, and within ten minutes Champ is laying his head in my lap because he wants to go back out. "Ah, come on mom!" This is the same dog that every winter goes outside, quickly gets so cold he tries to balance all his weight on his butt (all 120 pounds of him) and then trades off which foot touches the ground to support his weight. (Back left, front right, front left...) It really is funny to see. :D

So raise a mug of hot chocolate. Here is to all my snow bound friends or those in warmer climates missing the snow! Happy Snow Days!

Wicked

Friday night the girls and I went to see the Broadway rave Wicked at the Buell. It was absolutely fabulous and so cleverly written! If you have not seen this fantastic show you need to see it. (If you enjoy the theater.) It was tied so well to the movie and gave a new depth to the characters. I truly enjoyed this production, not to mention the cast was phenomenal - absolutely amazing! It was such a good show that the entire audience was on their feet before the leads even made their curtain call. This is a must see!

my munchkins

Arianna and Antonio are getting so big and growing into their own unique personalities. I love hearing the stories about the funny, crazy, shocking and frustrating things they do to my sister and Alcides and then I fall in love with them all over again. They are such special little persons in my life that have taken hold of my heart and carved out their own little caverns all their own.

I thought I would share a couple of the recent pics my sister sent. I talk to them all the time on the web cam but there is nothing that can replace the energy and love that fills a room from being right there next to a person. I miss these little guys all the time and cannot wait until the next time I will see them. Until then I will continue to use technology to get my full doses of the greatest little niece and nephew.

Tickets

It is official...we have our tickets for the midnight showing of New Moon. (When I say we, I mean the girls and I - Levi does not get nor want to be a part of my obsession.) We are braving the possible weather and the crazy tween and teen mob to see the midnight showing. While I am not looking forward to the overzealous crowd I do know the bar just happens to be right next to the theater - this could be a pretty entertaining night. You're only as old as you feel! ;)
