Spring!

Spring has finally arrived here in TN. The dafs are sprouting, the grass is getting greener, and my allergies are kicking in!

We had our share of sickness these past 3 weeks. Alex missed a whole week of school again, so did Jeff. I suffered with Jeff for about a week of a sinus infection. We are all pretty healthy again YAY!

Here is a recap of February...I got kinda lazy (or busy with other things).

Jeffrey making his Valentine bag for school.

At the preschool Valentine party they made cards, candy bracelets, ate hot dogs and cupcakes.


Jeffrey gave Miss Kim a great big hug!


Alex's class went to Into the Fire to make pottery for the Annual Auction.



Alex's class had a Valentine Love lunch for the families.


And Peanut tried to run away again, sadly he doesn't like to step on grass so he didn't get very far! These photos were taken on February 8th! I just love TN weather!

Ashley Academy 17th Annual Benefit Auction

I don't know about anyone else but I had a wonderful time at the auction. Here is a slide show of the fun. Of course I was the only one with a camera. I think I should get a discount on tuition for the rights to the photos. Darn, I forgot to watermark all of these!

Jersey Girl finally finds a little slice of heaven here in TN

Ok, so we have a lot of fly by night restaurants here in Johnson City. Especially those that claim to make pizza. I fondly call most pizza here "giant circles of garbage". Well today that has all changed. I am still in disbelief. I found the most awesome NY Style Pizza right here in Johnson City TN! Of course the owners are from Long Island. What is even funnier is that the one brother is the guy who built the house next to us. As that house was going up I swore it was being built by some guido from Little Ferry NJ. LOL I was RIGHT!!! I know my Italian mid century Hudson County architecture.



Ok, so back to the food.

Luke's Pizza
Well what can I say, there was so much oil on my slice that Alex asked why there was water on his pizza? LOL I said just hush up and eat it! Then I burned my gums on it! YAY, pizza burn!



For dessert we had a real live cannoli! Here is the conversation from the kid who ate cannoli's every week when he was 2 and hasn't had one since we moved here.


Alex: What is that white powder?

Mom: It is sugar, trust me you will love it.

Alex: What does that crunchy part taste like?

Mom: It taste like a cookie. Really it is the best dessert on the planet!

Alex: What does the inside taste like?

Mom: Like donut cream filling.

Alex: Hmmm, what are those black things?

Mom: Chocolate chips (as I now shove the last bite of mine in my mouth), just eat it already or I will!

Alex: (takes a bite) Yeah mom, you were right.

Mom: About what?

Alex: It is the best dessert on the planet.

Mom: I know sweetie, now I have yet one more excuse to be fat and happy! Wait till daddy finds out about this place!
