So, the winter storm did come in. It did bring a good amount of ice, topped by a good amount of snow. We did keep our power and I am so thankful for that. School was cancelled on Thursday and Friday. Even Jamie came home early on Thursday and got a snow day on Friday! Amy and the boys came for lunch on Thursday and then Amy and Carder came back on Friday. It was nice to have them here. I made cookies and we watched TV while the boys made forts and played. The big question was if Max’s 10 AM party at the Science Museum would happen or not on Saturday. We made the call to all the parents that if the museum was open, we would have the party. We woke up on Saturday and called and sure enough they were opening…at 11. So, with just a little delay, we finally celebrated Max’s birthday with his school friends! We had a lot of fun and I think everyone enjoyed getting out of the house.

On Saturday evening, Amy, Blake and I headed to Edmond for our annual Miss America watch. Blake could have cared less about the pageant. We did get her to wear a tiara and wave briefly for some photo ops. She wasn’t feeling that great, so I’ll let it slide this year (smile). We missed Nanna watching with us this year. Just another ‘first’ we will experience this year. Blake was still not feeling well on Sunday morning and I knew the nursery workers at church would not appreciate her hacking cough or extremely runny nose, so I stayed home with her and Zeke.

I never really considered that we would not go back to school this week. Then I saw a tweet from a friend asking if anyone had heard about school cancellations yet. Oh no. Within the hour I heard we were out. So, yesterday we spent our snow day at ‘Camp YaYa’. We made bubble gum, we played games, we ate and we played in the snow. It was a good day. So….here we are on Tuesday, groundhog day, home again. I do think it is supposed to get above freezing, so maybe some of this ice on the roads will melt. No big plans for today. The boys do have gymnastics tonight so they can get out some of their snow day energy!
