Snow Day - Part 2

Today I had a scheduled vacation day that included 3 different appointments and something special for me. Well the school closure changed that. I still had my 8 am vet appointment so I loaded up the kids and the dog and ventured out. It was really pretty quiet and so beautiful. It was a little difficult getting back into the garage but my suv is somewhat built for it. We had a nice relaxing day and had a good time. Not the day I had planned, but still nice.

 

Weathering the Storm

On Wednesday we had some high winds that may or may not have been a tornado. I don't know if it was because I was hiding in Jackson's closet with a beanbag, cell phone and a dog. The kids were at my parents for the week and Jason was still working. I don't do well by myself in these situations but we survived with very little damage. Lots of God moments here. First, the only part of our tree that is standing is the part that would have fallen into our bedroom. Second, we have the biggest backyard in our neighborhood (we know because we pay for it every year in taxes) so when the tree fell, it landed only in our yard. And third, the only major damage was the side fence and was caused by our neighbor's tree. Let's hope this is the major storm of the season and we will not see this weather for a while.

Christmas Haircuts

The week of December 10th was a week of preparation. First, Barney got a Christmas haircut. Who knew Petsmart was open until 10 pm during Christmas. Then it was Jenna's turn. That day it was raining and cold so it was fun. Then on Thursday I got my hair cut. Busy week, but we were ready for Christmas.
