SNOW DAYSSS

I rolled from 3 days of the stomach flu to two snow days in a row. The first day was because of the foot and a half of snow we acquired in a 12 hour period and the second was secondary roads drifting making travel dangerous. I hate days off from school especially when your trapped and can't get out. The children get along for only so long before boredom kicks in and all hell breaks loose. Sara gets bored really easy. Its ugly around here when she does.
We have next week off for February break I am glad I get to go to work three of those days. The kids can kill each other and I don't have to listen. At least they have play practice all week so it will give them something to do away from each other every day.

The snow is amazing, cold but amazing. I was walking in from the barn this morning and the winds had made drifts that looked like a sand swept desert. We haven't had snow like this for many years. Ian and I ventured out to get food to restock and the snow is piled high everywhere. We went from nothing to a winter wonderland. Unfortunately it isn't the right kind of sledding snow yet and is to darn cold to be out there for too long.

WE also had to get Ian's girlfriend her valentines gift and he got her flowers and candy. It is so cute to see him so happy and silly due to the fact there is a girl in his life. He turns 17 in a less than 3 weeks. He gets the majority of mail these days with colleges sending him info. He thinks he know where he wants to go now so we are beginning to check places out. OMG he graduates next year. My baby boy. Okay stopping now don't need to cry today.

So here is my gratitude three list:
1. Warm shelter out of the storm.
2. Food in the cupboards
3. Best friends
