Alexander Graham Bell Report

Lawson had a big Famous Scientist Report due today. She did a great job and I really admire her work ethic. We did have to have some lengthy in-depth conversations (tears) about plagiarism but we worked through it. She was so proud of herself and almost giddy as she put the finishing touches on her board. I asked her what she was most proud of and she said "this is my own words and work and it looks great." Good job, L-bean!!! We are so proud of you!

Don't take life so seriously!!!

Have a great week!!
Love,
The Silly Fitts Kids!!

Big Red Milestone

The Saturn Outlook is doing great and hit a big milestone today!!! We just got her a new battery and oil change so Big Red is good to go for another 100K. Ha!

Can you believe how bitter cold it is at 2PM???? The wind is brutal!!

Sleepover!!!!

This weekend the Bowen Bunch came to spend the night at the Fitts' Casa. We had a great time and the kids were awesome! I'm pleased to say Jeb and I bonded and slept through the night!!! The kids love each other so much and I am so thankful they will grow up with there cousins!!! I also added pictures Lauren sent me...(this is how her house looks without kids around!!!)

Kids Recent Artwork

Artwork came home this week for the big kids and thought I would share. Of course, I had to share Cailyn's!!! It goes in birthing order!! I have always know Lawson is an artist but I was pleasantly surprised how good Wesley is too!!!! Enjoy!

Back To School...

12 days off of school: 7 of those snow days, 1 teacher workshop, 4 weekend days....it was time!!!!

We really did have a great time together but we need to be back on schedule. Isn't insane how much snow is still around? But the roads are 90% clear so off they go!!!

Cailyn's 5th Birthday

Happy Birthday to the sweetest 5yr old in the world!!!! This girl just brightens up a room with her happy demeanor! So blessed to call her my baby girl!!!

I have to add just a little more... This is a child who asks for nothing!!! She is happy with anything!! She plays well by herself and is most content with little to nothing. If she does
ask for something impromptu at the store and I say no. No is the answer and she moves on. She doesn't whine or have a tantrum. I don't know what the future holds and it may not be he same for the years to come but I have say "thank you" for these later years!!! It had been nothing but a joy!!!!

For her birthday we met up with the family to celebrate (fun, fun), took her to Target to pick out a gift and then out for Mexican! She said it was the best day EVER! But honestly every day is the best day ever!!! She loves life and everyday is a gift.

Snowzila 2016

Our welcome to Virgina snow has been one for the record books. We knew it would be a big one so the kids and I went to my parents' house to ride out the storm. Collins unfortunately has to work the whole time and I didn't want to be stranded in a townhouse. We are having a great time with mom and dad and
Ryan is here too. We watched snow/ blizzard conditions for almost 36hrs. I think we got a total of 23"!!! Haymarket 30" It is so much snow!!! Can't really sled on it until it melts a little! Hasn't stopped the kids from trying!!! School is already canceled Monday and Tuesday! Enjoying this time with the family!!

Preparing for 2016 Winter Storm

We are getting prepared!! We are predicting 18-24" of snow!!! This will be the most snow any of the kids have ever seen!!! School was canceled today (.25" of snow Thurs night), school has already been canceled tomorrow and 2 hr delay for Monday. They don't mess around up here.

I, of course, am preparing by making pretty pillows :). I am often inspired at the most inconvenient times but it works for me!!!

Flashback 7yrs ago

Facebook shows you pictures from your past on that day. Today it showed me pictures from 7 yrs ago and it was snowing in Raleigh!!!! They are such great pictures!!! Crazy how much has changed in 7 years. We added another kid to our pack, the kids are huge now, We moved states and Mr Chew was still with us!!! In 2 days we are expecting 1-3 feet of snow! Picture included. Enjoy the flashback!!!
