Reese: [glances out the window] Liiiiiike Christmas music?
Looks about right.
What the crap.
Snowpocalypse is upon us.
I haven't been able to leave my house since Monday.
Even though the highway is clear, today, you need chains to get there. It's supposed to be "warm" today, and hopefully, with the sun shining, enough snow will melt for us to get out of the house for a couple of hours.
AND...there is MORE SNOW on it's way! We're ready for it.
Last week, we kept busy by:
-building a maze in the living room
-making homemade valentines
-popcorn, hot chocolate, nacho cheese dip
-a stack of new easy reader books (thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!)
-a Read In (Mr H's 4th grade class, style) in the living room. We are reading The Doll People by Ann M. Martin (who deserves a special shout out for also writing the BEST children's book series evah (The Babysitter's Club! Did anyone else want to be Stacey? Kristy? I was always a big fan of Dawn, and dreamed of finding a secret passage in my own house.) I finished Perilous and started The Book Theif, the girls are loving The Doll People, Reese has sped through the easy readers, and Reese set a lofty goal for us to read 50 pages in the Book of Mormon together, during our snow days. The Read-In (and necessary junk food) kept us entertained for almost 2 full days!
In the event that we DO get that other 6-8 inches of snow that Mr. Weatherman (who is NOT my friend) predicts "will make last weeks storm look like child's play", we will be ready.
This week, we are armed with:
-a new movie (Alvin and the Chipmunks: the Squeakuel---don't be jealous)
-supplies to make some valentine gifts for the ladies I visit teach and the girls' school teachers
-bubble bath solution, pedicure supplies and the works for a "spa day"
-fixin's (that's right I said "fixin's") for a sweet Super Bowl party--Go Packers!
-heart shaped cookie cutters and ingredients for sugar cookies and pink icing
(PS-Sorry Hays...this much snow really isn't normal.)

You guys need to print out a Flat Auntie and Flat Coco and show us the snow!
