What To Do On (Yet Another) Snow Day

I'd like to say the children and pup spent the entire morning outside, but that didn't happen. They did go out for almost an hour. In that time I debated locking the door, turning up some good tunes, making myself another cup of coffee and curling up with a book, but I didn't. I started cleaning -- or rather, sorting and purging.

Once the kids had warmed themselves with a cup of hot chocolate, I had them get in on the cleaning, sorting, and purging too. My basement is almost recognizable again now!

I have Bub off in his room sorting through nine years of assorted memorabilia. I figure he is old enough to decided what to get rid of on his own now. Every so often he comes out of the man cave his room to show me a particularly funny drawing or journal entry. I see now that he's always been a bit of an artist and writer. Although, he did inform me that his lowest mark in grade 3 was in art. Go figure!

I have the girls showering and practicing their instruments. Shortly we're going to start working on their rooms. We're trying to find Peach's missing retainer.

Hopefully we don't have too many more snow days this winter, although I am very happy with the production level today.

On another note altogether, Maverick had boy surgery yesterday. He's having a sleepy afternoon today, but that's actually pretty normal for him. He's doing great! We're just watching for infection and making sure he doesn't do too much licking.

He loves the snow!

I hope you are all staying warm and dry in this crazy weather we've been having right across the continent!

Blessings!
