Winter is getting the best of us

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!!!
