1:40 pm - 21 degrees - overcast, 33+ mph wind gusts...
A blanket of fluffy white snow,
sparkling snowflakes, moonlit nights, twinkling starry skies...
...sounds pretty dreamy until reality strikes. The kids are on day Snow Day #8
and winter just started!
Actually it’s not that bad. Yes, the kids miss their friends at school
and Tony has had to take more days off work for snow removal than he planned...
but, we haven’t caught that nasty bit of cabin fever yet!!
We have just over 4 feet of
snow and there have been patches of gorgeous weather so the kids have spent a
lot of their time playing outside, sledding, building forts, having snowball
fights with the occasional snowmobile ride.
When the wind gets a little too
brutal or the cold starts seeping in, it drives everyone back inside where we’ve
been playing a lot of games, and doing a lot of baking. When tempers start to flare everyone goes off
to their own corners of the house to stick their nose in a book, watch a movie,
or play in their rooms.

| Labyrinth - fun game that everyone can play and enjoy. |

| Nertz!!! I love this game so much that I taught the kids how to play. It's like Solitaire but everyone's playing at the same time. Caitlyn is getting pretty good, and Jack still needs a little help. |

| Sequence - Caitlyn and I really like this game, but Jack can only stand about one round at a time. |
