There was a lot of hype this week about the big storm that was coming our way, and while we did receive some snow, it certainly wasn't the blizzardy weather that other parts of the country received. Now, to be fair, it's going to be reaaallllly cold here this week...several days won't even hit zero degrees for the high. Luckily, two of us get to stay at home all of the time, so we're not impacted too much by the weather. And the only time it impacts G (and me) is when we walk home from the bus stop in the afternoon. But, usually we're so busy chatting that we're home before we know it.
I take the back roads home when I drop G off at school each day, and I love-love-love how it's wide open spaces, with lots of trees and fields, and not as many houses. This gives me a few minutes of peace before I get home to start my work day.
Now, Scott's work is a different story. He will sometimes have to be outside in the cold, fixing equipment, and if it's super snowy, he'll be responsible for plowing. So, even though he stays in his warm truck for that, his sleep schedule gets all out of whack. Cold weather is not easy for that guy, IMO!
Our week started out busy...we took our shaggy G in to get a haircut, and for a fun shopping trip at Target. I noticed that it is so much easier to take him places now...he doesn't have meltdowns, he doesn't run away, he doesn't scream...nothing! He did throw a tiny little fit about a lego set, but he was able to calm himself down. It's such a marked difference from where we were just a few years ago.
He has decided that the YIELD sign is his favorite sign. Haha!
Ava made her weekly adventure outside of the house on Tuesday night for baton class, so at least she was able to check off one social encounter this week. She also found a recipe for super fluffy cinnamon rolls, so I'm excited to see what she cooks up (bakes up??) for us!
Now that our bar is (almost) finished, Scott told me that he's looking for another project to do around the house. I mean, I wasn't going to say anything since he worked so hard this last year on the basement, but I'm interested in updating our laundry room. I found some ideas on Pinterest, and as long as we agree on the changes, he said he would start the work on it this weekend. I thought he'd want some time to relax, but after 20+ years, I should know better! :)
Wherever you are, I hope you are staying warm and safe on this beautiful February weekend!
