So, we had school called off because of the snow & extreme cold for 3 days last week (Wednesday-Friday). We then had the weekend off & now Martin Luther King Day too. We will have been off for 6 days straight. What did we do???
I spent all of the mornings getting chores done around the house. Once lunchtime hit, the kids & I dragged ourselves through at least 1-2 feet of snow (no kidding) & wind chills of -35 degrees (give or take several degrees) over to the neighbor's house each day. We enjoyed lunch, played Wii, played Scattagories, laughed a tons & gabbed. Each day there were different people there & each day was a TON of fun. The kids had a wonderful time & are wishing for another snow day on Tuesday!
Jake had friends spend the night on Friday to celebrate his b-day. He had his best buds (& neighbor boys) sleep over. I took the kids to see "Bedtime Stories" with Adam Sandler, it was a hit. We ordered OP pizza & they had tons of other snacks too. They spent most of the evening playing Wii, watching TV, wrestling, eating & doing boy things (think like a 9 year old boy).
On Saturday, we met friends and went to lunch at Carlos, then off to see "Mall Cop". The kids thought that movie was really funny & it was nice to be out and about again after sticking close to home for several days.
This week brings: lunch with friends, dance, Daisy's, Cub Scouts, Religion & I'm sure other things that I've forgotten. I am down to sub 4 more weeks. Yes, I've been there since mid-November. I am enjoying the kids so much, I'll miss them terribly when I'm done.
The neighbor boys: Paul, Jake, Adam & Ben
