Today I woke up to more snow but it was okay 'cause I got to sleep in until 9am!
Our snow adventure started last Friday at midnight. We were at the cabin with some friends, when the flurries started falling.
We woke up to a winter wonderland of about 6-8 inches. No cabin fever that day as we headed in to town. Samuel and I got haircuts and we all went to Graham's for some groceries. Sunday we woke up to even more snow but still headed home Sunday afternoon.
Monday I headed off to work and watched it snow some more. Tuesday and Wednesday same story. So today was my first day of cabin fever.
The day started with me screaming and waking up Tyrone and Charlotte. I had rolled over to find Samuel standing in our room just staring at us. If you have a toddler you've probably experienced this before. Now normally Samuel walks in our room and says, "Mommy, You awake?" I tend to answer "almost."
After this jarring start to my day it was time to look out the windows and resent the clocks. Yep, we lost power for about 2 hours last night. The windows showed that it had not stopped snowing. Usually I have specific plans on Thursdays these plans involve me having sole use of the car. Today I left the car in it's spot and settled in to spend the day inside with the kiddos while Tyrone hitched a ride with a friend to work.
Samuel wanted to play blocks. He has very specific things he wants to make and specific ways I need to make them. So I started building a lego house, followed by a lego fence and a lego tower. Then I got the urge to bake, so I headed over to Pinterest and checked out all the recipes I've pinned.
First up Apple Chips. They turned out pretty yummy and made the house smell good. At lunch time I started craving Apple Pancakes again. I just dipped them in this mornings leftover waffle batter and cinnamon sugar.
Up next we video chatted with Grandma and Auntie. They only live 5 minutes away but today we wouldn't have made it up their hill. Samuel showed them how to do jumping jacks and was generally goofing off. Charlotte cooed and smiled. Samuel really wanted to go play with Grandpa's trains so Auntie being the awesome aunt that she is, set up the train infront of the computer. Samuel was entranced watching his aunt set up the track and run the train. He asked for a hill and she got some blocks and built a hill. Grandma and Auntie said goodbye and went to play in the snow.
Charlotte was still talking so I turned on the webcam and got some cute video of her talking to herself.
While editing the above video I started to smell a familiar odor. Yep, someone needed their pants changed. Thinking that the blow out was contained I started to put on the new diaper to discover poop half up her back. I then looked down at my shirt, yep, it had oozed through her jammies onto my shirt, my white shirt, my only clean white nursing shirt. Laundry Time!
Now it is almost dinner time and we are making tacos. I'm even going to try making my own shells, I found the directions on Pinterest, of course.
All in all, I survived my only day of cabin fever. Tomorrow I head back to work and hopefully this snow will start melting.
