Winter weather!

Monday night we got a blast of winter weather across the area. The sleet woke me up from a dead sleep. The boys ended up in our bed b/c it was so loud. We woke up to some snow, but the roads were sheets of ice. So ... of course, school was canceled. The boys had already missed yesterday (as you see in my earlier post) so they were already stir crazy.

Yesterday, they fought, played xbox, fought, watch tv, fought, played games, fought .... big fun! I think snow days are God's way of punishing Stay at home mom's : )

They went outside for about 20 seconds and I did too - to take some pictures.

And now today, we have another Winter Weather day! Snowed/Iced in worst than yesterday. And so ... of course, the schools are closed. And on top of that - we have been having rolling blackouts since 6am this morning. They last about 15-30 minutes, but come every hour or so. Apparently w/the low temperatures, the generators are overloaded.

Thankfully, today the kids are entertaining themselves - so far. I just hope soon this ice will melt, the temperatures will go back to normal temperatures and we'll be able to get out of this winter mess.
