ONE. Snow Day. I had my first snow day of this winter on Tuesday. Actually, it was only a half snow day because I had to go in to work at 1:00 p.m., but I'll take it! It's one of the few good things about winter in Michigan.

TWO. Speaking of snow....Kevin got to put our snowblower to good use over the past few days. Let me tell you, that snowblower is one of the greatest things ever! It only takes him 20-30 minutes to do our entire driveway and front sidewalk leading to our front door. It used to take 1-2 HOURS with both of us out there shoveling. And we would be tired and sweaty after doing it. Definitely a great investment.

| This was Tuesday afternoon. He has had to do it two more times since then. SO. MUCH. SNOW. |
FOUR. Shopping Weekend. Tonight I'm heading on a girls shopping trip with my mom, sister, and aunt. We are going to an outlet mall for the weekend to do some Christmas shopping...and maybe some shopping for me. Remember the plaid shirt and fur vest I wrote about on Tuesday (here)? They might end up coming home with me this weekend.

FIVE. Banana Ice Cream. Kevin and I are trying to eat healthier. It's hard, but we've been doing pretty good and we are seeing results. We've both shed some pounds and we both feel so much better since we aren't eating so much junk. The other night I made this banana ice cream. Three ingredients: bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder. It was delicious! It definitely satisfied our sweet tooth without all the guilt of eating a candy bar or some other sugar loaded treat.
