chilliest days are for no school and double socks...for basking in frosted-over window panes and little ones catching up on quiet messy projects (brought on purely by a boy grounded from all technology in the house and a phoebe who discovered the allure of the clicky pen).
these kinds of days stretch and stretch...for better or worse. fingers are crossed for normalcy tomorrow...in the meantime, i wonder what my chances are of tricking the kids into a nap?

p.s. new year, new blog design! isn't it something special? this one is for keeps. a million thank you's to suzana at THISGIRLDESIGN. i can't recommend her services enough...best $35 i've ever spent. hooray!
You made me laugh. My nine year old daughter was home with me all day and she is grounded from her favorite of favorite...television. It was a long day. At least she had three hours of homework to do. Praying for some warmer weather and normalcy for us tomorrow ;)
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful images katie. i have loved being snowed in, but agree with you that i'm itching to get back to my routine and out of the house. it's too cold to really enjoy the beautiful snow...so hoping i have a chance to do it tomorrow :)
