Smow Day?

My goodness, the weather outside has been frightful for 2 weeks. 

It snows.  It stops.  It flurries. 

We have 2 hour school delays. 

It snows some more. None of it sticks.

Temps have been hovering in the area of 15-25 for over a week, dropping once to 8 with a windchill of negative 12.......BBBBRRRRRRRR, baby it's cold outside.

I do however keep hoping that it will continue for another week in hopes that the white stuff falls on Christmas Day.  Oh how perfect would that be?  One can hope right?

So as I sit here, teachers are hoping for a snow day as 1-3 inches are in the forecast but for 2 weeks the forecasts have not been spot on, so we'll see. 

Now, back to check in on the short peeps to see how their gingerbread houses are progressing.  Will post photos of those soon!

Out of the mouths of babes....

Conversation with my 8 year old daughter who was on her way home from a gymnastics meet that was 6 hours away.........

Mom: "Hannah, I am not taking you to gymnastics tonight, it's been a long day, the drive was long and I want you to just rest, hang out and relax."

Hannah: "Are you serious mom?  I have been sitting on my bum all day and I need some exercise.  I am not a couch potato like daddy."  And then she proceeds to mock him in the back seat of the car by showing me how he sits on the couch, turns on the tv, puts his head back and commences to snoring!

I almost peed my pants, I was chuckling in the front seat as I was driving.....  needless to say that I took her to gymnastics.
