Snow Update
It is literally POURING snow here. All the shoveling that Mr. Pit did this morning is completely covered over. They have closed almost every major road in the state of Pennsylvania. I am SO glad I didn't go to work today because I think I would have had a heck of a time getting home! I really hope that all my co-workers got home safely, this snow is crazy! It's supposed to snow ALL night too, so digging out tomorrow morning should be interesting !!
I hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!
XOXO Mrs. Pit

More Snow, a new living room...and a belly pic!
Hi everyone,
BUT, now the walls are a nice light green (Spring Morn to be exact!) and the windows are completely white (Polar Bear really) and I couldn't be happier. The room is 10 times brighter now and I just love it.
Not the best pictures because it was dark outside and we don't have the best lighting in the room, but here's one out the window this morning at the new snow and the white of the windows now really makes the room 'pop' if you ask me.
And, I am posting this for the few people that have been asking incessantly for a belly picture. This was taken on Sunday, so I'd officially be 28 weeks and 2 days pregnant in this picture. WARNING: Repost this picture on Facebook and we're no longer friends...but otherwise enjoy!
I sit safely ensconced in my living room, while 6 inches of snow fell last night and another 16-20 are expected to fall today...so I emailed the boss, told him I was working from home and here I am. I really am working, my other tab in my mozilla is my outlook folder I swear!
Anyways, I came home last night to a newly painted living room and I couldn't be happier. This is what it looked like before: A yellow/green/beige color with the original pine window casings. NOT my favorite, but I lived with it for almost 3 years because we couldn't find the time or money to get someone in to do it (and yes, I know I'm in construction and should want to paint my own house...but no, painting, electrical and all car repairs I leave to professionals)

Another MANIC Monday
Morning everyone!
This weekend was as crazy as I thought it would be, as you can see from the snow pictures. I estimate that we got right around 2 feet, and it took poor Mr. Pit more than an hour to clear the driveway so we could get out. He is absolutely my hero and was rewarded with hot soup and buffalo chicken bites when he came in out of the cold.
The most insane thing about this snow is that it's going to be followed by ANOTHER snow storm tomorrow night! So, all that work we did to get the cars cleaned and driveway cleared will be moot as we are supposed to get another 6-12 inches from tomorrow night into Wednesday! We haven't had snow like this in the Philly area since 1996, and even then it came over a few day period and then was done, this is just nutty!
This map shows the 6-12 line magically dipping right around our area, but I have a feeling it will be more of a straight line and we'll all get dumped on again...needless to say, I'm definitely bringing my work laptop home with me on Tuesday night and I'm not coming in until the roads are nice and clear! (I am NOT one to trudge through heck and high water to get to work, not worth the risk in my opinion, I can do even less work if I'm hurt in a car accident trying to get to work in the snow!)
Anyways, onto the fun stuff..
Yesterday we bought our crib! We went to Babies R Us to look at it (I was trying to decide between this one and another one) and turns out it was in stock right at the store, so we flipped the seats down on the Jeep and took it home! By doing that too we also saved ourselves $125 of shipping costs, how cool is that?! Here is the beauty that Little Pit will sleep in...I really REALLY like it!!
NOW, for even MORE fun stuff...our living room, front hall and stairway are being painted the next two days and I couldn't be more thrilled. I took 'before' pictures, but being the genius I am, left the camera at home and since I'm not supposed to be in the house while the painting is happening, I can't get to it until tomorrow night, but Wednesday I will show you our new light green walls and new white windows! (Right now the room is a mustard yellow with oak colored windows) so I can't wait to get home tomorrow night and take a look!
Tonight Lil' Pup, Mr. Pit and I are camping out at my parents house, and Lil' Pup will be there today and tomorrow too so he won't get in the painters way. He's so darn friendly that there would probably be nose marks on the wall, many missing paint brushes and a light green colored black pitador from all the paint he would get on him...so, he'll have to see it for the first time when we do :)
That's our busy week and if this storm hits it will be even busier!
I hope you all had great Super Bowl weekends, I am happy that the Saints won, and even happier it was such a good game! Thanks also to the D's who were the best hosts as always and who sent us home with TONS of food AND CAKE!
Have a great week!
xoxo Mrs. Pit

Furry Friday!
Meet Antonio!
Holy Chihuahua, is this one cute or what? I mean, puppies are ALWAYS cute, but Chihuahua puppies are just good enough to make me want to jump through my computer screen and put him in my pocket!
I am not sure if Lil' Pup would find Antonio more of an appetizer or a friend, but regardless, he's pretty darn cute!! You'd have to help this little guy navigate all the snow we're supposed to get this weekend, even 6" of snow would be too tall for him, but what a great companion for the spring! He doesn't have an official write up on the site yet, but I think his picture says it all!
Speaking of snow, the forecast for the Philadelphia area is right on the borderline of 6-12" and 12"+, so we'll just have to see when the snow starts falling and how much accumulation we actually get. I managed to be the busiest person EVER last night and picked my mom up from the airport, went home, let Lil' Pup out, went back out for a haircut, went to Acme for French Toast supplies (I have been craving this for breakfast for about a week now, so Saturday it's ON!) and made it back to the house in time to watch the Deep End and Grey's...phew!
So, now the only thing on my schedule for Saturday is a dress fitting at Priscilla of Boston for my BFF C's wedding and I told them I would come down for it as long as they were open, so we'll see how bad the roads are!
I hope everyone has a great weekend and doesn't get snowed in if you don't want to be!
