Snow and Ice!!!!

The other two were inside still finishing up school when Isabella wanted to go outside in the raining sleet!

I am part of the country that received the snow and ice, but mainly ice. It sleeted and sleeted and sleeted some more! It iced in the whole town and a whole lot of us had yesterday "off". Well sort of! My children still had school (I know my kids were bummed too!). Since our school is officially at home, we had nowhere to go and hunkered down with our books. We mainly stayed in the living room with the fireplace going. It kept us warm for the most part. The school room and the girls room face north and the windows (are cheap) keep the air from rushing in but allows it to be about 5 to 7 degrees below the temp of the house. That makes it about 65 degrees in those rooms (yes that is cold for some of you who keep your house at that temp). Mike stayed home and did some projects around the house. The kids ran, slid, jumped, fell, skied, and played out in the sleet several times. Hot chocolate was the drink of the day! We all had fun and it was a nice middle of the week unwinding time compared to our normally very busy days!
