Snow Days


Well, we are entering solar cycle 24 and the climate is beginning to change. One of the advantages of this transition time from cycle 23 to 24 is snow in places that would otherwise only get rain. What that means for us, is almost an entire week of snow days! And what better time for it than the week before Christmas Break is to begin.

The kids and I had Monday & Tuesday off, and now are off again today (Friday). The first two days it was too cold for me to go out and take pictures, but the kids played in it all day on Monday! I'm shocked they didn't get frostbite but apparently they move enough to keep warm out there. As for me, I went out for about 5 minutes to tell them it was time to come in and that's it. Today it's much warmer, a whopping 33 degrees so they've been out all day again building snowmen. I managed to get out to take a few pictures today, click on the album below to take a peek.

Snow Days!

As many of you know we have a good number of dogs here at our house, so on Tuesday I got all excited and thought that picking up the poop would be super easy since it was frozen outside. Wrong, if anyone is wondering, it also freezes to the ground so it's next to impossible to pick it up. Now I know...

That has been the extent of our week. We still don't have a Christmas tree and barely any gifts but oh well...maybe next week will be a little bit more exciting, but I have my doubts. I hope all of those affected by this storm are safe and warm!
