Tuesday the 2nd, these sweet children of mine were to return to school to gain knowledge (and stop arguing). They had a 2 hour delay because it's cooooold out there. To be fair, I totally get and appreciate this. I have seen babies waiting for buses at 6:15 without coats on when it is 12 degrees out. It's not okay, so I will take your delayed start. Wednesday, the kids were released an hour early due to weather coming, and then they were canceled Thursday and Friday. We received a call Sunday afternoon saying all systems were GO for on time school on Monday. I am throwing up a prayer right now that everyone is safe because there are still some roads that are SLICK. Please let no bus hit those icy spots....!
ANYWAY, here's a look at the past few days for us. I haven't taken many pictures, but still...
I think I hit a record for not washing my hair. It was bad. But I lived with a beanie on my head. Woke up and put it on and kept it on alllll day. I got this one for Christmas and love it.
Bruce found a golf ball and thought it was great. I freaked out.
We did do a little bit of reading over this long break (not as much as we should have....). Bruce enjoyed it.
Thursday of the snowmagedon, Andy and I built quite a castle. He was proud.
I kept them in the house until 8:45, and then they were gone. Off. Didn't want to be inside another second.
Cal just about ran out in his shorts before I grabbed him to put on pants.
Then he sprinted out, and forgot his gloves. He was ever so grateful when Eddie ran them out to him.
The neighborhood buddies had a fun time (seeing this picture I am realizing we are missing that yellow sled...hmmmm)
Bruce loves the snow. LOVES it. Sits at the window crying to go out he loves it so much. This snow was the wet kind that would form balls in his paws that I had to pick out every time we came back in.
I don't even know.
Waking up and having a lazy morning in a robe- watching the birds, haha
He made some legos (completely all by himself.... normally I have to assist....a lot.... this was ALL him)
That book Cal started must be pretty good.....
Saturday morning I had a MUCH needed hair appointment. Y'all it was bad! I got over 3 inches cut off and the color helped ;)
Cal had a family history project that was due Monday. We worked on it this weekend and I thought I would cry. I can teach 900 8th graders any day of the week, but it is HARD teaching your own kid! ha! Part of the problem was our technology. We quickly realized all of our devices are way outdated and do not support PowerPoint software. So we created a project in pages, only to find out that teachers are unable to convert or open pages on their computers at school. So I tried to buy powerpoint and that wasn't happening either......
but he worked hard in the mean time:
part of the project was creating a family tree.... he used this picture of me and Eddie and it makes me want to go somewhere warm and get a tan. Please.
And this sweet little baby is CalBoy at one month... tugging at my heart strings!!!!
Today, we will be back at it, knocking stuff off the to do list that never got done last week with shortened days!
Crazy it is going from single digit temps to 65 degrees this week....! Welcome to NC, I guess.......
