ICE!!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Gaylord Texan to see the amazing Ice exhibit.

They kept the exhibit at 8 degrees...at least that is what I heard someone say while we were inside.

We had so much fun...this is a great place for children and for kids at heart.

This years theme was Who-ville from How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

The pictures don't do it it justice. I found it literally breath taking.

There was about 10 or so rooms full of uniquely carved statues.

Such great eye candy!!!!

They even had a room with two ICE slides.

Towards the end they had this awesome Nativity Scene.

Don't do it!!!!

There were Christmas trees everywhere!!!

These were real Gingerbread Men.

We had so much fun going to the Gaylord ICE exhibit.
I want to make it a yearly tradition.

Don't you hate it when things break???

So, our disposal broke and when I say broke I mean it was nasty.
FYI- what you are about to see is beyond gross, just a warning!!!!!!

Cory and his Dad taking out the old nasty disposal.

Yes, they used the directions. They also had help from two furry animals.

Ta-da!!!!
The new wonderful, quiet disposal with twice the power as the old nasty one.

Isn't she beautiful?
It must be a sign that I'm getting old because I got excited about a new disposal.
What will excite me next???
A new faucet....

Good bye

Fall......

Hello Christmas!!!

This year we decided to not have a traditional tree. I borrowed all these ornaments from my sister, she has a different theme every year and I liked this one.
Since this picture, I have added the tree skirt so it looks much better but at least you get the idea.

Costume Party 2009

On Friday, Eva and I and the boys threw a costume party at the Wattenburger house. It was a ton of fun and there were many interesting costumes. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Random

So here are some random things that have happened in the Carr house this last week.


Last night this was my yummy dinner. Try to get your mouth around this sucker!!!
The boys grilled burgers and I decided to grill some turkey lunch meat and then melt cheese on it. I also added grilled bacon and avocado to a toasted bun. It was divine.
Cory hung my Embellishment Center and I organized it. We are making progress one step at a time. We still have a few things to go.
This is the project I am working on now.
I got the idea from....huckleberryprairie.com
I love that I have my own girly craft room that I can go to when I need an escape from school work.

P.S. Cory's birthday is on Wednesday...so I will post some pictures of that, we will be celebrating it on Saturday the 17th .
