The kiddos have had back to back snow days, and I’ve enjoyed the little break from the routine too. I think we’ll be back to school tomorrow, so I had better clean off the car today.

We’ve been catching up on chores around the house. I finally have all of the dishes caught up, and most of the laundry too. I also had the kids help out with a few of the chores too. They were pretty good about it.

The boys are already asking if school will be canceled for tomorrow. They are hoping for the entire week off, so they can miss out on their spelling tests.

We’ll be staying in this morning, the wind chill is just too cold. We’re heading out this afternoon to clear the sidewalks, and burn off this extra energy. Stay warm everyone.

Well a little bit of progress was made on the hot water line last night. The plumbers are returning sometime today to finish up the job. I’m super happy! I can’t wait to get the house back to normal, and catch up on the dishes and laundry, oh and take a shower.

It has been a long week, but all will be better soon. Here’s to hot water!

I came across this note that I made on my phone…

Hmmm, we’ll see what 2014 brings our way.

I’ve been reading online about many people starting a book challenge in 2014. Reading more books is one of my 2014 resolutions too. I totaled up my books read for 2013, and I read fifteen. My big kid quickly told me that he had read way more than me.

This year’s goal is twenty books. Any extra read would be fantastic too. Time to hit the used bookstore and add to our library.

Today the kids have a two hour delay to the start of the school day. I like it though, I often wish that school would start later in the day. We’ll take our time getting there, the roads are still snow packed.

We are heading out to the store today too, and getting the house re-stocked. We need to be ready for the next round of snow.

I’m looking forward to a bit of quiet. The kiddos have really been stir crazy the last few days. The weather has been way too cold to venture out. I think we could all benefit from a “back to usual” day.

Stay warm out there.
