What a crazy weather week! We had record low temps which I have never seen in my life. School was cancelled 3 of the 5 days this week. We were threatened with rolling black outs because of such high power usage--but thankfully that never happened, and we lived the week running our wood burning stove, because our heaters could not keep up. Crazy! Things I have never seen before! Add it to the list for 2020/2021. But we are all healthy and well and stayed warm. We had water and never went without anything. So many cannot say the same thing. We are grateful!!! Take a look at our week...
Our "fancy" Valentine's dinner. We were supposed to go to my mom's, but my dad was sick, so we stayed home and ate tomato soup with cheese bread and goldfish crackers in the family room in front of the wood burning stove. Non traditional for sure, but still special! We had hot chocolate and our heart shaped frosted sugar cookies for dessert. Yum!
School cancelled snow day #1 for the week...Hello snow!
These fun girls had Monday off school anyway and my sweet sister and brother in law took them skiing for the first time. They LOVED it!!!
The temperature Tuesday morning when Ben went to work. No school today. We had a horrible North wind that gave us a wind index of -30!!! Baby, its COLD outside!
2nd snow of the week. Day #3 of school cancelled. Mr J was good enough to shovel a few times!
School cancelled activity for Mr J. He decided he wanted to try out his sister's trombone, so he did some online video lessons and had some fun.
My cake for February. This is a coconut chocolate cake which I made for our belated Valentine's day dinner we ended up having at my parents on Saturday. So yummy!
My kids went up to my grandparents cabin and enjoyed the snow up there this weekend. They made a snow camel. Pretty awesome!
Mr A and Mrs A enjoying the snow and the camel too
Back at home we made a snowman before all our snow quickly melted. Our temps are warming up and this snow is not lasting long. A crazy week!
Thanks for visiting! Hoping wherever you are that you are safe and warm! Have a great week!
It was quite a week and glad you all faired well. My parents and sister in Texas not so much with broken pipes and all but repairs are finally being done now. Love the snowman and camel. LOL! How great for your girl to try skiing too. It is a fun sport. That cake looks amazing. Can't wait to see what you make next.
