Snow (Ice) Days!











On Monday night, a serious ice storm hit our city.  We didn't lose power (woo-hoo!), but school was canceled for everyone for 4 days.  This is rare.  Where I work, school cancels more than where Mike works.  I work in a mostly rural district though.  Our neices, who also go to school nearby, were canceled for 4 days as well.  They've spent 2 days with us since we're home.  Today, we baked cut-out cookies.  I hate baking & decorating cut-out cookies.  Since there were 3 cutters and decorators, we went for it.  They had a nice time.  I told the kids they could each eat 1 cookie.  The oldest neice ate 1.  The youngest neice ate 2.  Evan (who is a year younger than the youngest neice), took a bite of each one.  My oldest neice called it "Quality Assurance."  What a nice spin she put on that!

First of all I just want to say that you look amazing! Are you sure these were from this week? LOL! I would not know you were pregnant, let alone having a baby in May by looking at these pictures!

What fun!!! We've had the exact same scenario here...Matt's office was closed for 4 days which I didn't think would EVER happen! He is stir crazy for sure! I told him that I could see how if all you did was stay at home and never go anywhere you could get really fat. All there is to do is bake and eat!
