Snow, snow, go away


Unbelievable - more cancelled school days.  And delays on the few days they've actually gone to school.  This is the most missed school our county has experienced for as long as anyone can remember (and there are some fairly old people in our county with some fairly good memories).

Elizabeth spends the days in her room, texting and reading downloaded books.  That's her, the lump in the middle of the bed under the comforter - see her lovely new furniture.  So modern.  She's so cool.  She gets that from her parents.

Michael can be found playing outside in the freezing weather, watching reruns of The Middle, or clearing off the driveway so Steven and I don't slide into our home or mailbox on our way back from work.

Recently Steven realized our hot water heater was becoming less efficient and running out of its ten-year life, so he did a lot of research on replacements and we are now the proud owners (well, Steven is proud) of a hybrid hot water heater.  Notice the beautiful lattice work Steven did on our door to create airflow.

I am certain Zoe and Niki love the snow days, too, because they either lay with us or roam our
home and get into whatever trouble they see fit, as opposed to spending their time in the laundry room, protecting our clothing.
