On Monday evening the snow began and by Tuesday we were being blasted by a full fledged snow storm. We had wind gusts anywhere from 25-45 mph and the temperature with the windchill plummeted to -25 degrees. Although we only received six inches of snow, the blowing snow made it treacherous to drive. Schools here and surrounding areas, as well as, businesses, including Starkey, were cancelled yesterday and today. Honestly I think everyone could be back to work today. It would definitely be better for me and my family if I was back at work today. I do not do well being stuck in a house with my family for an extended amount of time. I feel like a caged animal and could inflict bodily harm to those around me at any moment. To keep that from happening we did meet up with friends for lunch both days, ran the halls at the high school, went over to some friends' house for dinner last night, and Madelyn had a friend spend the night. We all survived.....barely.
The balmy temp...2 degrees. Yikes!
Madelyn didn't seem bothered by the cold.
Kenzie stayed the night and the girls stayed up much later than we did to watch a movie.
Kenzie and Madelyn bundled up to brave the cold.
Ryan helping the girls build a tunnel in a snow drift.
Time to head in for some hot chocolate.
And back out for more tunnel digging....
Perfect fit
I cannot wait to go back to work tomorrow! I know without a doubt I could never ever be a house wife or stay at home mom. No. Way. Kudos to those that can. But for me personally I am a better mom and wife because I work outside the home.
