Blizzard 2014

We have experienced the Blizzard of 2014!!:)

My great plan for Tuesday, since C was in school, was to have lunch with S and then help out in her class for the afternoon.  Well... I had lunch with her, but while we were eating it was announced that they were going to be dismissing early at 12pm.  So, knowing I was going to have to go get C from school as well, S and I finished eating(I finished my coffee... I knew I was going to need it for sure!) and I checked her out.  This was about 11:15, so not too early, she wasn't missing anything except the chaos that was sure to come from all of this!

I picked C up from school, and still no sign of snow, so we went and did was I was planning to do later this afternoon anyway - get new tires.  Oh boy!

We waited and waited and waited some more.  We killed some time at Fuddrucker's with cookie tokens I had saved from previous visits and "playing" video games (but without any money! HA!  how much longer can I get away with that?!?!).  Finally, 1.5 HOURS later, the car was ready with four shiny, new tires!

Still no sign of snow when we got home, but it started not too long afterwards!  The kids were ecstatic - and so was I if I'm being completely honest!  We played outside for as long as we could until our toes and fingers were numb and came inside to re-energize to go at it again!:)

No school for Wednesday!  SNOW DAY!!!!!

At least he is prepared... even if there wasn't much snow at this point!

Wednesday we were all excited to get up and in the snow!  After a pancake and oatmeal breakfast(Yummo!), we went out and had so much fun!!!!  We hooked the sled up to the lawn mower and did several laps around the house, C wanted to pull the sled with his tractor so he pulled S up and down the street and we visited and played with neighbors!  By lunchtime we were all cold and tired and the snow was melting(M had already gone to work by this time) so we had a little rest time and finished off the day with a trip to the gym and the grocery store(not for bread and milk..ha!).

Lovin' it!

The riding behind the lawn mower was such an awesome
idea!!

We got message Wednesday evening that school was cancelled for Thursday as well.... just great!  The roads were dry and ice-free!  I was not nearly as excited about this snow day!  Whatever!  What is one to do?!?!?!

And, today, with perfectly clear roads, was another snow day.... but there is no snow to play in and it is too cold to play outside!!  We made the most of it - got the oil changed in the car(I feel so on the ball with my car this week, oil changed and new tires!  Must be some sort of record!), went to the gym, checked out books and movies from the library!  And, then vegged out with Bednobs and Broomsticks and Fireman Sam because I had to get dinner ready, and I was totally exhausted!

They love breakfast at Toyota!  They each ate 5 doughnuts and
3 cinnamon rolls - bleh!  I couldn't believe they didn't get sick, but lunch
was a bit small for them:)

They both LOVED picking out books this time - usually I pick
out the books while they fight over  play the computers!

This quiet, happiness lasted about 3 minutes before little man
lost interest!  I so wish that they both had more in common - TV shows,
hobbies, books, games, songs, etc.!!!
