I am so sick of winter it's not even funny!! I think it seems worse because Chad has been gone since Sunday and we've had two blizzards since he left. Let's hope the weather holds out enough that he can make it home today. With this wonderful weather, the girls have only been in school for 6 hours in three days (yes, they're home with me again today)!! Normally I love having the girls home, but it hasn't been long enough since Christmas break and their Christmas break was about a week too long for them!!
Being the dedicated Mom, I took the girls to Spencer for their dance class last night. It wasn't snowing when I left, but we left a little early because I had a few places I needed to go and knew I couldn't get it ALL done during their dance time. By the time we came home, there was over two inches of snow on the ground, it was snowing REALLY hard, the wind was blowing, and the highway was drifting something terrible. PLUS, the highway I was driving on was closed the night before because of semi's being in the ditches!!! Thank goodness the children sat quietly for me during the drive (but my knuckles were still white). An HOUR later, we finally made it to Emmetsburg. As we did, Mia said to me "Mommy, we're home!!! I was scared we wouldn't make it" to which I said "we're not home YET - we'll all feel better when the car is in the garage". There was literally a cheer of screams from the back seat when we pulled in the garage!!! I must say that I wanted to cheer myself.
I had to post this picture because this is Kale all day long - you never know what he's going to do next!!!
Demolition has begun!! Actually, it has been a long and slow process. We've been trying to work on our bathroom in Chad's spare time and our very few free weekends we've had lately. Any time there are tools involved, you will find Kale - the little man in charge!! As we began to take the bathtub out of our bathroom, Kale was there to give his opinion and to help break out tile. We look forward to getting our shower in and some MUCH NEEDED storage. The next project is the guest bathroom (or the girls' bathroom) where this jet tub will eventually rest again. Oh so many projects, SO little time. Now if I can just find time to get my husband to help me with all the painting projects!!! And no, Kale will not be helping!!!
