10pm…Snow Day Edition

We’re on snow day tres.  And school is out for the remaining week.  Crazy day and not going to lie tensions were running pretty dang high.  We have been cooped up for far too long.  3 days is a long time for us.  There was gnashing of teeth…oh the angst of it all.  I finally risked my life on the roads to spare others 🙂  Target, Joanns, the post office and a good run never felt so good.  Give me all those frozen roads…I don’t even care…this momma had to escape.

Josh Kelley and I have played 1,203 games of Manacala and Bananagram.  He’s been working from home during the day.  I think he’s ready to go back to the office 🙂

Hudson has made 3,637 Lego creations.  It’s true.  They are everywhere.  Anything his little mind can imagine he makes, so just give him 5 straight days of being home and oh wow, just oh wow.  Lego creations everywhere.  Lego spy gear = no problem.

I don’t think our TV has even been turned off.  Josh Kelley has had mad antenna skillz lately which means PBS is coming in loud and awesome.  Snow days = TV and movie binge.

Side note:  Please notice Hudson testing out his new spy gear in the background (bad haircut still in full force).  Also, Sol’s pillow TV watching fortress = amazing.  And another Lego creation in the bottom right hand corner.  THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

I have successfully dodged going out in the winter ice land which is our backyard.  I am not a cold weather person.  But I will happily watch from the window and yell out the door at our kids.  That I am good at.

Side note: Let’s quickly dissect the pictures below.  We do not have appropriate snow gear.  Harper is in fact wearing her pajama pants.  Hudson and Sol rocked their converse all day in the snow because obviously canvas shoes are the greatest for cold, wet weather.  Hudson and Sol’s holy jeans…again equal perfect attire for cold, wet weather.  Harper is wearing my gloves and Amon is wearing her gloves because the Kelley house is under a severe glove shortage.  And Sol’s face, well, enough said.

 They came and went all day as they pleased.  Each one dressing and un-dressing over and over again in our laundry room.  All I did was load and re-load the exact same clothes into our dryer.  They took care of the rest.  And they collected a giant bowl of cleanish snow for snow cream.

1 cup milk, pinch of salt, 1/3 c sugar and 1 tsp vanilla.  Whisk all together first.  Then add a ton of snow.  It’s super delicious.

So my game plan tomorrow so everyone survives: make more cookies, create something new, more Mancala and more movies.  We will survive.

Happy Wednesday.
