Here Comes the Snow

The snow has started falling outside. It is pretty, but I hope it doesn’t stick around too long.  I’m a terrible snow driver, and I’m planning a day out of town on Friday. Thade is so excited about the snow, he loves it. I  guess we’ll have to get on his new coat and go play for a little bit.

I’m midway through my marathon of cooking, and James has been busy finishing painting projects around the house. With the weather turning yucky it is a good day to stay in and get some projects finished.

The Winter Weather has Arrived

I’m glad we picked up the winter coat for Thade yesterday, it is freezing today. It looks like snow could be on the way, and soon. We have had the strangest weather around here, last night I was out talking with my neighbor and it was 70 degrees, today it is raining and only 38.

My hubby is off work until Monday! I hope he has a nice vacation and a restful break from work. Today I’m going to be making homemade snacks, stocking the freezer, and trying not to go out unless I have to. Here is what I’ll be making today:

  • Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies
  • Cranberry-Lemon Cookies (from a tub, not scratch)
  • Chex Mix
  • Bread Crumbs (to keep in the freezer for later)
  • Mashed Sweet Potatoes for Thanksgiving tomorrow (I make them savory not sweet)

I think I’m going to be in the kitchen all day 😉 It will be fun, and I have Play-Doh to keep Thade busy and helping out too.
