Kicks are for trids!
I know my cereal. I love cereal. I could probably live on it. I once bought three boxes of expired Honey Nut Cheerios when I was in Spain because it was 1/2 off. So yeah, I know and love my cereal. How well do you know yours? Find out by taking the Breakfast Cereal Quiz.
I scored 18/20. And I still dispute one of the questions being a trick question.
As for my favorite cereal, that would be the delicious Chocos. I crave them every morning.

I know I haven’t updated my site in like, forever. I apologize. I have a bunch of stuff I’d like to share, but for the moment, I must share this video with you. It’s been a while since I’ve done a video of the week, so I figured this was as good as any to get back into the habit of posting to the site. I present to you the best Star Wars “clip” ever. If you are drinking Diet Coke, put it down and then watch:

Sorry to all of you that regularly check gisforgreta.com. This is the EXACT same post. It just makes my life easier. Basically, I’m too lazy to write another post and try to come up with something witty to say.
In case you live out of state, let me give you an idea of what is happening in the Buckeye State. We have been literally buried in snow. Friday Tony decided to work from home to beat the storm. That was a good choice. By 3:30, the streets near our house were covered in thick ice. The snowy ice pellets/snow never stopped coming until near 6 pm on Saturday. I thought I heard we topped out around 15ish inches?!!? We had drifts that were over the kids’ heads. That leads to conditions like these (taken a few hours before the snow finally stopped):
Our view when we opened the garage door
The front walk
Of course the kids had to get in on the action:
Mason was excited to help Tony “shobel” the snow.
Isn’t this awesome? The kids didn’t even need a hill for sledding! They just used the bank of snow from shoveling the drive. Ha!
It also seemed a good time to introduce Ethan to snow. He kept crawling to the window to look at it, so I decided to bundle him up and go outdoors. He had socks for mittens with his hand left inside his sleeves. Two pairs of socks and boots. By the time I was done, all I could think of was Randy–”I can’t put my arms down!”
Another Christmas Story quote: “He laid there like a slug. It was his only defense.”
They didn’t last too long. The wind was really whipping around out there. They left their clothes in their wake and ran to the kitchen for some hot chocolate. Ethan crawled over to play with the little chunks of snow that came off of the boots.
Church has been cancelled for tomorrow. There is honestly a few feet of snow blocking the end of our street thanks to the many passes by snowplows. Not sure when we’ll get dug out. Meanwhile we have kids to entertain.
Ethan is bored, too. Can you tell he’s teething?
Major milestones

There have been a few age changes in the house of late. Tony had his birthday on the 8th. (No comment on the age.) Corinne turned 5 on the 10th. She decided to have a sleepover the weekend before and cake with family for the actual day.
Ethan also turned six months at the end of January. He is getting around the house with ease doing the army crawl and is starting to get the hang of real crawling. He is as cute as ever. We finally had to give him his first haircut. It was scary but looks way better than the long, wispy look he had going.
Mason is starting to understand birthdays and answers with the correct age and date when you ask him about it.
As always, there are more frequent updates on Greta’s website. Feel free to check it out!

I know it’s been around since I’ve blogged anything, for which I apologize. I promise to be more attentive to the site this year. Even though Greta has taken over most of the picture posting duties, I still plan on posting some fun stuff. So I’m starting with this one:
