The ice hasn’t arrived yet, and that is fine by me. The kids were happy to have the day off from school. We just bummed around the house and watched netflix all day. I like lazy days like that.
Agnes is also feeling better today. Thank goodness for that too.
We are still keeping an eye on the weather, just in case. Well I had better run, my oven has preheated and it is time for me to make dinner.
I woke up early, got my shopping list together, and I was packing lunch for the kids, when Agnes stumbled downstairs. She said she wasn’t feeling good at all. I kept her home from school, and she ended up having a yucky tummy-bug. I really hope that the rest of the family doesn’t catch it…
I was hoping to make one more run to the store, but we skipped it. We’ve been keeping a close eye on the weather, there is a bad storm heading our way. We are supposed to see some ice, high winds, and really cold temps. There are concerns for power outages too.
I got the text this afternoon that school would be cancelled for tomorrow, and I’m really happy that our city is taking extra steps to keep everyone home and safe. I really hope that the weather isn’t too bad, but we are ready just in case.
Stay safe and warm out there.
The weather is warm today, but snow and ice is on the way for the weekend. I’m keeping busy knitting and crocheting some winter knits.
I’ve been knitting this scarf for a bit. I finished it just in time. I love the yellow and grey colors together.
I made myself a little cap to keep the chill away. That melon shade of yarn is one of my very favorites.
Lastly I crocheted a messy-bun hat for Agnes. It turned out super cute, and it was quick to crochet.

While the kids home for a good three weeks on Christmas break, the house got trashed… There is stuff piled here, there, and everywhere, it is driving me crazy! Monday, I woke up extra early, and cleaned the living room. I got a big bag of clutter out of the house, just from one corner of the room. I was feeling pretty good about it, so I moved on to one of the kitchen cabinets. I got another full bag out, and now I’ve got a little more space to store paper towels. Both of those cleaning tasks were fast, and I’m going to keep it up throughout the house.
I’ve also cleaned out the closets. I cleaned out my closet, and all of the kids closets right before Christmas. I love the donation bins around town, they make it easy to donate unused and outgrown clothes.
Today, the kids were back to school, so I spent a lot of time just catching up on dishes and laundry. Next week, I hope to get a few larger cleaning projects accomplished.
