The girls had jersey day at school today. Luckily I have 2 jerseys because I lost one for a couple years and ended up buying a new one... and then found the one I lost.

e-learning day
I knew that there was freezing rain forecast last night. What I didn't know was that I would get a text at 5:00 AM saying school was delayed 2 hours followed by a text at 7:00 AM saying school was cancelled. After the school district invested

We got a lot of snow yesterday, but at least it was warm enough for us to get outside and enjoy it... and by warm I mean over 30 degrees! It was perfect sledding weather. Our neighbor friends have the neighborhood sledding hill in their backyard, so we headed over

merry christmas (winter break: day 4)

Today was a lay around the house holding a snake kind of day. Emma put a climbing branch on her Christmas list. When Olivia was helping me wrap gifts she said it really should go to Pancake... not Emma. On Christmas Eve we each open one gift. The girls felt
