The little blizzard who couldn't

This weekend was supposed to bring 6-10" of snow, but once again,  we were gypped!  The official amount was .24".  So glad I planned ahead and got groceries/gas beforehand.  Crazy Colorado weather.....  Brad and Curt are still working on a job in Denver, and are getting weary of that drive, so I'm sure they aren't disappointed in the non-blizzard.  A busy weekend here, but not as busy as things are at the Taylor house!  The decision has been made to move (for a look at their location, see haggardrealty.com.  It's the house with the red door).  They will move to a condo for the first few weeks, then to the house as  soon as it is vacant. I am so relieved that they have living arrangements made, and are making progress at getting their current home on the market.  The plan will be to move mid-April and to get Emma and Elijah in school so that they are able to meet some kids before summer begins.  We are sad for our loss, but happy for their new beginnings.
Saturday, we went to see the new OZ movie.  Interesting concept to find out how Oz got it's wizard before Dorothy and Toto ever arrived!  On the way to the movie, Gabi was telling Corbin (in our car) the story and said, "they never needed no stinkin' wizard.  They just had to believe in themselves because they had it in them the whole time".  Well, there you go!
Sunday was spent doing the usual- cooking, cleaning, laundry etc.  We made a huge pot of posole green chili and some guacamole with quesadillas and Meredith brought her yummy chocolate cake (the secret is a cake mix made by just adding a can of pumpkin and some chocolate chips...no eggs, no oil, no water, no nada!)  Spencer commented at dinner that he may have to forgo the Sunday dinner unless Meredith can get the dessert here, and was coming up with some innovative ways of making that happen!  The girls asked Emma to bring her duck tape collection to make Barbie clothes, so they spent the day in my craft room.


What was everyone else doing? 



Curt and Spencer were listing more of their fabulous finds on Ebay... while Meredith was giving Gramma the lowdown on the move and Carrie was working on a puzzle, the boys were playing in the storage room and having an occasional wrestling match, Grayson was eating a bowl of cereal with Grandpa's help, and Amie was working on the kitchen clean-up. Yup, another normal Sunday!
