cabin fever

Crazy weather around here.  We had snow, lots of snow, sleet, thick fog, a few sun breaks, and now it is very windy.  Makes me so thankful to have a nice cozy house to take shelter in.  Because of the slick roads we chose not to leave the house today.  But, we did much more than just take shelter.

   

There was some fort making (out of blankets) and some book reading.

There was also some cocoa sipping after a brief stint out in the snow. Don't you love it how it how the time spent to suit everyone up in their long johns/wool socks/turtlenecks/sweaters/snow bibs/coats/boots/hats/scarves/glove layer #1/glove layer #2 (oh and someone always forgets to go to the bathroom first) is always ten times longer than the actual time spent outside?   The girls always say "cheers to all" when their cups clink.  I say, "here's to summer and wearing sun dresses and flip-flops".

At first, the novelty of "being snowed in" was fun.  The plow made it through around 11:30am (so technically we weren't really stuck).  By the time evening rolled around we all started to go a little nutty.  This was day 3 of staying within the same set of walls.

Some dancing ensued. Glad that this picture turned out blurry :)  Can you hear all the giggling?

   

And then there was this...which I don't really have an explanation for.  Just Hannah wearing a basket on her head (with the little plastic price tag thingy still on it).

Thankfully Husband made it home just in time to rescue me from all the insanity. 

Really hoping to get out tomorrow.
