We are enjoying our first snowday of 2018. It's bitterly cold outside but I know many others have it worse right now. We're staying warm in the house and have no plans for today other than doing things around the house. We're supposed to get a break in the weather this weekend. For now, my goal is to stay as active inside the house as possible. I want to keep the kids occupied and try my best to keep things as peaceful as possible.

The boys had a good day at school today. They are super excited to know in advance that they will have a snow day tomorrow. As a parent, it's super nice to know it's going to be a snow day, this far in advance as well. 😀 This will make for a less stressful evening and a much more pleasant morning also. The boys have been playing together since they got home and have even been quiet enough to allow Lizze to finish her nap. She's been in a great deal of pain this week and it's taken a lot out of her. I'm still feeling pretty good and I don't see anything changing that today. 😀

School was canceled for tomorrow, already. Looks like it's going to be a long weekend and I'm honestly okay with that. I've always found myself in a quandary when it comes to the kids and school. I absolutely love having them home and would prefer them home by default. At the same time, they can and often do drive me crazy. It's a weird place to be in but being a parent can be a weird experience as well. ☺

Turns out the boys have school today. I'm not sure why because everyone North and South of us are canceled, some for the rest of the week. It's actually colder here than the places that canceled as well. Weird.... Anyway, it's been a super fun morning and by super fun, I'm mean hectic. We discovered that our dryer is broken. The school clothes we put in the dryer last night were still wet this morning. The drum isn't spinning. I think it's just a belt and that's pretty easy to replace but it will still be down for a couple of days. As soon as I tear it apparent and confirm my suspicion, I'll have to order the part from Amazon. I'm pretty sure that's what I had to do…

Assuming the weather isn't going to be as bad as they are predicting, the boys will. Be returning back to school in the morning. I'm kinda thinking that -20°F windchill might earn them a snowday but we'll have to see. This week is pretty much shot as far as routine goes but I'm looking forward to Monday when our routine will be in full effect. We had an interesting night. Lizze was with my Mom, sisters and sisters in law, planning a baby shower for most of the evening. Apparently that's fun cause she really enjoyed herself, which is good. ☺ The boys and I dropped her off at my parents before hitting the bank. After that, we had to make a return to Best Buy and I let the…
