Snow on the last day of Spring Break!

Yuck! What a miserable week we've had weather wise for Punky's Spring break from school. Mostly cold and rainy. They did have one nice day that they got to play outside, sunshine 55 degrees, a nice spring day. This morning we woke up to this


But the Punky and Munky really enjoyed themselves this morning though. Had to dig out the snow pants and boots I'd put away first LOL!


Makes it kind of hard to think about all the spring/summer items I have made and need to photograph! I keep waiting for a nice day to get outside, I'm tired of taking boring pictures inside the house!

Off Topic ~ Do YOU know CPR?

I just had one of the biggest scares in my life tonight!! My husband, our 2 kids, and I went out to dinner. We were happily eating our appetizer when I looked over at Punky (almost 5yo) and she had a strange look on her face, she turned to me and her face was all red and her mouth was open but no breathing or talking! I asked if she was choking and she could not answer me! I yelled at dh that she was choking and yanked her out of the booth, at this point she was limp. My husband grabbed her and did the hymlich (sp?) it took three thrusts before the chunk of chicken flew out followed by the contents of her stomach! She started breathing and then crying, the best sound I've ever heard! I just hugged her there in the middle of TGIFridays bawling my eyes out! I'm crying now thinking about it! 5 minutes later she was totally fine, eating her meal and acting like her goofy self, I was/am still shaking!

Thankfully my husband takes CPR classes a couple times a year (he works in the saftey and environmental department of his company) and knows what to do. I know how to do it, but it's been years since I've had a refresher. I'm going to sign up for one asap.

If you have not taken a class, do so before it is too late! Go hug your children!

For Fun!

To the tune "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot

I like big bows and I can not lie
You other mothers testify
When a bow is placed on an itty bitty face
it’s like a state of grace
You get ohs, wanna kiss that nose
'Cause you notice that bow was placed
to match the clothes she’s wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna hug ya
And squeeze and love ya
