Swagbucks

Have you heard of swagbucks? It is a search engine that you can earn points on and then redeem your points for rewards. Right now I have enough points for a $5 Amazon gift card. I have been slow earning points because I tend to forget about it, but now I have put a search toolbar on my computer so I use that instead of google. There are also other ways to win--they send out codes on their blog and facebook page and all. Check it out here: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/kborup. Hopefully I can earn enough points to get something cool. Copy and paste the link to sign up and you can start earning points too! Also, I put a widget on the side so you can click that too!

Snow Day!

It is very rare that is snows around here. The last time it snowed was 2002....thats a LONG time ago! But this year, it snowed and snowed and snowed (well, just for one day!) I didn't believe the weatherman--he predicted that we would get snow in January, and we didn't get one lick of anything...snow, sleet, rain....nothing. In fact, it was about 50 degrees that day. So last friday I didn't think we would get anything either, until about 3 pm. I was at work and very little snow flurries started to fall. They were so small you almost couldn't see them. Then around 4 pm it started to pick up. We actually got big huge snowflakes. At five I rushed home to get out the camera. It was so beautiful! Everything was covered in white and the snow was falling so gently and peacefully. It kept snowing for the rest of the night, and even knocked out the power for almost an hour! When we woke up on Saturday, we found that almost 6 inches had fallen! We went out and played for a while, but the sun was out and it was warm and the snow was melting very quickly. It seemed like it was snowing again just because so much snow was falling off the trees. This is how snow needs to be---have a snowfall and make everything so beautiful, and then the next day melt! (I like snow, but only for a day or 2.)


This is when I got home from work and was walking around the neighborhood--I thought we had a lot then, but it was just getting started!




That night--still snowing!






The next morning---check out the railings and steps. We measured it and it was almost 6 inches high!




It was so beautiful! (Sorry--picture overload here!)











We almost lost Hershey in the snow!



Troy wanted to go sledding....it didn't work...and he broke his "sled"!
