Last week, we had three snow (e-learning) days and one two-hour delay. The previous week we had two snow days and a couple two-hour delays. It's a good thing we've learned how to do school from home. Otherwise, the school year would have had to be extended several days at the end of the year. Curtis took some initiative and came outside to help shovel without being asked. He is such a sweet kid.
He even cleaned off the van for Bella.
All that snow has meant lots of backyard visitors!
Sledding and hot chocolate are a great couple.
This girl now officially has her permit!
She's had no choice but to learn to drive in the snow. This should make fair-weather driving seem that much easier for her!
Off we go! She'd done some driving in parking lots previous to this, but this was her very first drive on the roads.
The boys' biddy ball season was canceled, so the organization put together videos of basketball skills for the kids to practice. If each kid submits photos of them doing the drills, their name gets put into a drawing each week. The boys are doing a good job practicing their skills. They've had to practice in the basement due to all the snow.
Valentine's Day was last Sunday. Bella made this chocolate cake and frosting from scratch.
I made the chocolate pretzels that I do every year.
And our traditional heart-shaped pizza.
I had some (non-alcoholic) strawberry diaquiri mix in the cupboard, so I decided to blend some up for the kids.
It was red, so it fit with the theme.
Andy captured this beautiful winter morning in our front yard.
Saturday morning is the one morning each week when I let myself sleep in a little bit. When I woke up today, I found this sweet face next to me.
Our temperatures are supposed to go up next week, so our yard is likely going to turn to mud. We decided to get a little more sledding in while we could.
