Shaunna to the Rescue
Thank goodness for good friends, especially a good friend who offers to babysit, and lets you borrow her 4 wheel drive vehicle so you can navigate your way safely through snowy streets…
Last night I was in a panic! It was late, I was exhausted, Thade’s birthday was just another day away, and I had nothing for him, and the snow kept falling. I stayed up late to watch the area closings, and sure enough school (and preschool) was canceled. There goes my plan to shop for presents while he was in school. What on Earth was I going to do now?!?
This morning (still in a panic) I go out to the cars to get them de-iced, and the more I scrape, the faster it freezes. It is cold and I’m stressed. I go back in and give my best friend Shaunna a call, and she voulnteered to come to my rescue.
She came by to watch the kids, and even let me drive her car that was already defrosted, and had 4 wheel drive, so I would be safe. I was so relieved, I could get the birthday presents for Thade, so I offered to pick up lunch to say thanks for the babysitting. I really appreciated all of the help today, and the kids had fun too!
We had a fun day, and I’m not as stressed out as I was earlier, there will be birthday presents tomorrow, and a double layer chocolate cake too.

I was worried that this was going to happen, school has been canceled and we are stuck indoors for another day. I just hope that the weather will improve soon, there is too much that I need to do outside of the house, and a few really important errands that must be run. I’m a wee bit stressed at the moment, Springtime where are you?!?
Handmade Notes
To help pass the time on this icy day, Thade is busy writing handmade Valentine’s for the Preschool Valentine’s party next month. I wonder if he will grow tired of writing Thade so many times…
For the Valentine’s I used scrap-booking paper, a cookie cutter, and decorative scissors. I picked out a cute Valentine’s themed rubber stamp and some heart stickers to complete the Valentines. It is a nice (and quiet) project for a cold and snowy day.

Snow, Maybe Ice Day
I haven’t been outside yet, but I’m pretty sure that it is all ice outside. Although the snow is starting to fall just a bit, so maybe there is a little snow mixed in with all of the ice. Either way, it looks like we are staying in all day.
There is plenty to do though, and plenty to clean too. I’ll be working on the downstairs floor today, polishing the furniture, and washing the windows too. I just hope the kiddos are good for me today, it looks like we are going to have a long day indoors.
What about you… Are you iced in, or are you enjoying a mild Winter day?
