Ok so I PROMISE I've never said this to Owen ... but I just saw him talking to his ball saying ...
"Never get snack, never get snack ... 'cause BAD!"
School Vacation
Our sixth day of school off, I could kinda care less what the kids did ... AS LONG as they didn't fight. Things were touch and go with the Wii today, so that got banned. Toys weren't as fun today since they played with EVERYTHING in the past 6 days. So what else to do than to make a fort! {and in swimsuits nonetheless} Normally this doesn't work because the girls are YELLING at Owen for not crawling properly under the blankets making the fort fall completely apart. So we decided to join in the fun and help build an "expert" fort (as Meg liked to call Jason & I). After this pic was taken, we added even MORE blankets! Eventually Owen had had it with the girls getting after him, so he sighed and went to his room to play with his train set. I think I'm ready for school tomorrow :)
Spring ... Already?
Just after Christmas we had a horrible spell of -20 degrees for almost three weeks. The kids went back to school with it still below zero, had one day where they could have recess, and then poof! It all changed!!
In alaska we call high warm winds a Chinook. This one had high winds from 65-80 mph with some inlet areas getting up to 105! The temps went from -20 to +50 ... a 70 degree difference!!! School was cancelled wednesday, thursday, AND friday ... and on top of that, monday is a holiday! So the kids got a 6 day weekend! Some moms were HATING life, but I was enjoying it! The roads the first two days were too icy to drive on from all the melting water pooling on top of the snow. It was a MESS ... but we enjoyed spending more time on the Wii, and when the highway cleared ... we headed to Target getting SPECTACULAR deals of 75% or more off toys ... mmmmm ... Legos!
Here's a picture of our house with NO snow! The kids were bummed though that their XX-Skiing was cancelled. It feels like spring break up ... but unfortunately it's only JANUARY!!
