Day 30
We have been stuck in the house for two days now. School has been cancelled, and we are running out of things to keep us happy and occupied! Yes, we only got about 2 inches of snow, but it has not gotten above freezing for 72 hours.
Emma decided she wanted to bake a cake! We had a box of yellow cake mix in the pantry and a can of chocolate frosting. However, Emma wanted to make a snowman so the chocolate frosting was not going to work. I found a recipe for "easy" Buttercream frosting online so I broke out the old Kitchenaid mixer.

Day 27
I had such high hopes for the dress shoot on the beach Saturday! The freezing cold and whipping wind made it almost impossible!
Here is Emma getting warmed up by her daddy in between shots. She was miserable!

Day 16
This afternoon I went outside with Brendan while he was taking the dogs out. There happened to be some leftover food in one of the bowls from this morning, and both dogs went crazy trying to eat it all first. I had my camera so I snapped a few shots.

Day 14
trying to capture Jack at 11…second attempt.
Now that I have my MacBook Pro with the retina display back from Mac Authority, I sure wish Flickr could translate my Photoshop pics the way I see them on my screen. I hate to see the detail lost online. :(

Day 10
Flashback Friday
It is cold and has been raining all day again! I am already over winter! 69 days until spring 2014!
This photo is from May 2012. It was taken on the beach at Oak Island on one of our first trips down for the season. I can't wait to get back there!

Day 7
This morning was one of the coldest in the past 20 years here. I think NBC had 5 degrees on the screen when we woke up! Crazy cold for NC.
Anyway, I had seen several posts on Facebook about blowing bubbles in the bitter cold. Crazy effects like they instantly freeze and don't burst when they land.
Before I took Emma and Jackson to school, I took Emma out to try the bubbles. Unfortunately, we didn't have any real bubble solution or a wand. I quickly made a homemade recipe of bubbles...1 Tbsp dishwashing liquid to 1 cup of water. For a wand, Emma used our slotted serving spoon!
True to her Russian roots, Emma insisted on wearing a cardigan and hat...no coat or gloves!

One of JC's cousins lives in the mountains, and her husband is a photographer. This is a photo he was able to capture this morning. The bubble looks like a glass ornament. So cool!
I saved this image from Facebook so it's not the best resolution.

Day 2
It is so yucky here...gray skies, torrential downpours! I hate it! If I could move to a tropical island every October to April, I would go in a heartbeat!
