winter weather part 2

It's been a long week.  Evidenced by the snow day delirium of seeing how far we could stretch mozzarella stick cheese.  The kids missed the whole week of school if you're wondering.   

Virtual/Remote learning days are not the best, but we're trying to work through it. 

The kids did escape to the Caddell's for a little while this week.  Stairs, sidewalks, and driveways are ice skating rinks, but the streets aren't too bad. 

This was our driveway after the ice.  You could drive over it and not even put a dent in it.  We finally put the sun and warmish temps to our favor and chipped away at the driveway.  

Once Jason broke it up, it was easy to push it away.  

It was hard work, but we did it.  Sore muscles and all!

These vibration plates are all the rage and I needed one!  I've had plenty of time to test it out while we've been iced in. 

Jason and I snuck out one night for a break from cooking and running and unloading the dishwasher.  We met some friends and it was a fabulous night out.  Bryce is already out of school Monday and Tuesday and Emmy on Monday.  We're hoping to get a few days with temps above freezing so we can get sidewalks and parking lots clear for school to go back.
