November/December Fun

The end of November and the entire month of December brought bitter cold temps, huge dumps of snow, and nasty windchills - which means we had to come up with lots of creative ideas to spend a lot of time indoors. The triplets were quite fascinated by the first blizzard of the year as they did not remember snow from last year. It was so fun to watch their excitement at the snow coming down and piling up.

Nathanial put on a little impromptu concert for us all one day and everyone loved it!

We were so amazed by the snow falling outside we sat and watched it in the dining room for hours, it seemed!

The next morning, we woke up to a winter wonderland in our backyard!

Somebody had to go outside and clear all that snow from the driveway and sidewalk!

Snow Day!

We woke up this morning to about 8 inches of snow and no school. Austin was thrilled, but I wasn't so happy.

Steve was going to try to go into work, but he couldn't even get out of the driveway with our minivan. He shoveled instead. I asked Austin one time, once, one time, to help him shovel....and he did!!!! I was flabbergasted. He didn't even come in early, didn't complain, just helped. That is a major miracle these days.

As soon as the snowplow went down the street (about 10:30), Steve took the Excursion to work. He got there fine, to my relief.

I just hope they don't delay/cancel school tomorrow, because that is the "new" day for Aidan's program!
