Why am I craving DQ right now?

A storm is blowing this way, or so I have been warned by the completely ridiculous newscasters around these parts as well as my mother, the Connie barometer.  Let me tell you one thing, there is no better place to be in the middle of bad weather than at her house.  Wood burning stove a blazin', pantry fully stocked, storeroom nice and full, backup generator if necessary.  Let's just say that if the apocalypse shows up anytime soon, I'm heading to Sanpete.  But I digress...  

My babies are napping and I'm sitting by the window, tapping on this thing and keeping an eye out for my shorter half to make his early return home from work, ahead of this frigid blast we're expecting.  My house smells delicious thanks to the $5 wassail candle I picked up at Wally World in anticipation of a power outage.  Because dang, if I have to function by candlelight it might as well smell good too.  I'm about to get started on dinner, white chicken chili if you care to know, which you should, because it's tasty, and when Paul rolls in we'll light up a fire.  I'm not going to lie, it's straight cozy up in here.

I think we should all mark our calendars and take bets on how many blizzard babies are born 40 weeks from today.  None for us thanks, we've hit our baby quota for the next few years, though we might get a little handsy what with the crackling fire and snow fall and what not.  Best way to stay warm right there. 

As a parting gift, here's a gratuitous photo of Fatty Fat Fat in his blessing outfit:
if the power goes out, at least we know he won't starve...


Happy Blizzarding

It's a really good thing he's not living in a zombie wasteland, like on The Walking Dead, or he would be zombie food for several months.

Jill said...

those are the cutest three chins i've ever seen!

with any luck we won't have to travel up north to the frozen wasteland. drat, hate it when winter weather threatens to keep me here in st. george where my kids are outside playing right now in nothing more than a hoodie!

You want DQ 'cause DQ's the bomb!

Fatty is the cutest! Love the blessing outfit. Just my style in the blessing outfit department. Silky white tuxedos? I don't think so.

Don't worry. It took me 4 tries to get the word verification right on my last comment. Go me! Wish me luck on this one!

Oh my word, you really just said all that (what Whit referenced). I even had to read it outloud to Tadd since he was intrigued by your comment to my post today. Looks like you guys have a friendship a'brewin'.

Love the blessing outfit.

We wanted to go to DQ to partake in a REAL blizzard... the other one didn't come to Provo.

I love that I cancelled my private lesson for the skiff of snow that isn't even measurable on the streets of AF...

But I love Mr. Fatty fat fat. He's so dang cute!

Brittney said...

I don't think we received a single flake down here. I'm a little let down. But your baby is getting so big! We need to come make a visit soon!
