Webb House...

So, since I only had one exam this week, I decided to hang out with Christine all weekend.
On Saturday we went to see Easy A, which was funny.
Then on Sunday I went over to her house to talk, eat and go Christmas shopping with her because Rex has left her a widow this week due to finals.
Due to the blizzard outside, when Christine and I got home, we found out Christine had a snowday.
So since it was so bad out and Christine and nothing to do the next day, I spent the night.
The next day, I woke up and the fun continued.
Rex went to his exam and Christine and I took over the house, we decided to be productive, so I made her posters and she finished her Christmas cards. After our productivity, we decided to play in the snow.
So, there is an ADORABLE snowman outside her window and since we had like 87 inches of snow on the ground, we decided to make a snow dog for the snowman.
So, as excited as her 6th graders, we got dressed for the snow. Since I had no choice I wore what i had been wearing all day, leggings and a t-shirt. Luckily I brought a sweatshirt and scarf along with my coat, but no gloves.
So since Rex took his gloves, Christine said we could share hers, although I appreciated the gesture, how were we supposed to make a snow dog if we could both only use one hand. Inventive Christine came up with a solution to our problem. Dirty socks.
So, since I am the nice generous one, I gave Christine the right glove and suffered with the left glove and a dirty sock.
(Christine and I are both right handed, so i sacrificed the use of my right hand for her... I'm so selfless)
so we went outside ready to create man's best friend. However, the snow wasn't packing snow and it literally was blowing out of our hands. So I had a rather smart idea, or so I thought of using water. Christine thought I was absolutely insane but listened and got a jug of water.
After a few snowballs and an epic fail of a snow dog, Christine decided to cut our loses and make a snow rat using the water.
After the the miniature best friend was created we called it quits and went inside.
So, we threw the socks on the ground outside the door with the jug of water, took off our boots and threw our coats on the couch. Christine said we had to clean up before Rex got back because he HATED it when she left her coat on the couch because it didn't take that much effort to hang up, but we were tired and cold so we left the forbidden coat there for the time being.
Then it was lunch time, Christine started to make chili three-way for Rex as I cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes. (PS: I have to say, just because I know it'll make her mad, Christine's kitchen was a MESS)
At around 1:30 Rex texted Christine, this was not good.
Rex's exam started at 12:45 and if he was already done, he would be home before lunch was finished. (It takes like 3 hours to make chili three-way the RIGHT way)
Alas, rex had already finished his exam, in 16 minutes. So we took the defeat and decided it was OK that lunch wasn't going to be ready in time.
So Christine made him soup to hold him over until actual lunch.

After the kitchen was clean and we had eaten our weight in slim jims, we went into the living room to wait for Rex. When he made it home, I remembered the socks, the water and Christine's coat. So after he came in, I looked at Christine and said we forgot and he was like I already saw the socks, but I knew he didn't see the coat.
So I went out grabbed the water the socks and put her coat on the back of her chair.
Proud of my accomplishments, I said "He didn't notice the coat,"
This obviously defeated the purpose, but he wasn't mad so it was all OK.

Fast Forward after lunch.
Christine plays with Elsie Kitten in a humorous way and Rex and I always make fun of her, so obviously this time wasn't any different.
We were playing with Elsie and I was TAPPING her with this plastic stick.
Christine then grabbed it and started SMACKING me with it, saying "how do you like it?!" I then grabbed the feather toy and put it in her face to get my revenge (Christine and Rex shake feathers at Elsie and she jumps at them, its funny)
And then, if you read the last Webb blog you will understand, I grabbed the bumble bee and started saying "buzz buzz buzz" to Christine.
After our epic battle it was decided that I would leave after the cookies were done.

After some delicious cookies, Rex and I were teasing Christine to which she said
"OK you can go now..... but seriously we need to hang out again this week."


PS: I love the Webb's!

Christine is an amazing cook!
She made like 4,000 cookies... :)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Super creative title right?!
I know, I know but it totally works

Dear Mother Nature,
Thank you! I know this is a weird occurrence for us, since our relationship isn't exactly roses and rainbows, but seriously I mean it, thank you! Usually, you like to make all of us college kids suffer through the snow and freeze on our way to class as early as November 1st, but this year you really outdid yourself. Yes, we have had cold days and rain, but NO SNOW until December 1st, as it should be. It's like you knew today was the start of the Christmas season.
Yes, the Christmas season starts AFTER Thanksgiving and Mother Nature I think you have proven your point... Snow starts when its officially time to start thinking about Christmas, DECEMBER 1st.
So again I thank you, now don't think this is an excuse for a blizzard or below freezing temperatures... We are finally on a good note, don't screw it up now.
Sincerely,
Katie

OK so I think for the first time ever I am not pissed that it snowed today. This is the first snow we have had this year and I am pleased. I am one of the biggest snow-haters but today it seems fitting. I am not a grinch, I do not hate Christmas, but this idea that Christmas season starts November 1st is baloney. Christmas starts AFTER Thanksgiving, that is why it is later on the calendar. Christmas decorations can go up now and the madness and greatness of the holidays can begin, because December and snow has finally come.
In conclusion, snow belongs in December.

So bring on the snow!

PS: Christmas music before December is ridiculous. Its like singing happy birthday to yourself a month before your actual birthday. See, it sounds crazy now doesn't it.
