Yesterday Wrenny turned five! What a crazy day…<\/p>\n

\"Show<\/a>

The day before her birthday, we had a party at The Party Machine<\/slash>. It was a joint party with a neighborhood friend Jenna, so there were lots of kids to run around and get crazy with. We went out to one of our favorite Indian restaurants<\/slash> afterwards because the weatherman was making dire predictions for tons of that lovely sleet\/rain\/snow\/hail thing we seem to get here every year.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, we woke up on Wrenny’s birthday to find that the weatherman was only partially right – we got tons of stuff, but it was all lovely SNOW! Yipee!! I trudged off alone to church for my debut singing in the praise band (I blame NO ONE for skipping THAT…), and when I returned, it was sledding and snowball fighting for all. I played the human toboggan, with me lying on the saucers and the neighborhood kids all piling on top, until I could no longer feel my butt. Afterwards, we warmed up with hot chocolate. Awesome!<\/p>\n

Today, in true North Carolina fashion, it has all turned to slush and ice, and more sleet is falling as I type. I have to admit that I love to drive on the ubiquitous sheet of ice it creates – there is nothing more pleasant than my little Honda go cart in a powerslide. The only problem is tolerating all the other North Carolina drivers’ ineptitude. They are all either going 2 mph or deeply embedded in the forests adjoining the highway…. cest la vie…<\/p>\n


\nHere’s some evidence of the road conditions… WHEE!!<\/p>\n
