Iced In

It snowed! I mean iced. It was like mother nature was trying to put me through some kind of serious test. How many days can one go cooped up with 3 kids and a dog before going insane? You win mother nature...you win! Now someone better get me out of this house...and quick!

The ice started coming down around Tuesday and Brian got off work at noon. The kids played outside for a bit. They were fascinated with the "snow" and tried to make snowballs, etc. It was too cold and really slippery and they didn't last long, but it was a valiant effort. Wednesday it was icing/sleeting really hard, and was freezing outside!! Brian got a laundry basket and took the kids sledding for a little while. Miller has a terrible cold and just looked miserable the whole time.

The anticipation was the killer! Maggie could hardly sleep the night before. And they both ran to the door that morning to look out and wait on it to arrive. Sort of like Santa Claus on Christmas morning or your friends arriving to your birthday party. They jumped and cheered when it started coming down!

Now, tomorrow is Friday. I haven't left the house since Monday. I may start talking to the walls soon.
