I woke up a little after 5:00 a.m. on Thursday and turned on the tv. There were many schools closing... but we weren't among them. We didn't wait too long before it was announced - SNOW DAY! Jake got his wish. It appeared we were in the midst of a blizzard with snow coming down, cold temperatures and strong winds. It was supposed to pass by mid morning but they didn't want high school students driving and younger ones waiting at the bus stop. We only got a few inches but there was a layer of ice underneath.
during the storm...
after the storm
Jake shoveled
(yes, it's a job I love but I gave him the shovel today)
Yes, he's wearing shorts.
"hey, does your Mom know?" "yep"
No other word but stupid!
Annie and her friends went sledding.
It was so cold and windy they made a fort.
I don't think they lasted too long outside.
Our house.
After the storm, blue skies and sunshine.
Our protector
found a warm spot,
good dog.
I made cookies.
They looked kind of pitiful before baking.
Crushed peppermint sugar cookies.
YUM!
?
Outer glass of double pane shattered
but the storm window is untouched.
Very weird!
Our temporary solution.
(Yes, I had pink duct tape!)
Well, now you're up to speed. We are on break until January 2nd for Jack and I and 3rd for the kids. Jake will have two finals that day. :-(
Now to start the made dash of cleaning and cooking before Christmas day!
Stay warm!
