Last week you saw us enjoying 70 degree weather and climbing trees! This week you find us with 6-8 inches of snow! Since this area is not equip to handle snow storms (i.e. road management) we have witnessed a town of 200,000 + get shut down in a matter of hours. School has been called off since Tuesday. I have not worked since Wednesday. We have had to drip our faucets since Tuesday in fear of frozen pipes since they do not insulate them as well. We have experienced rolling blackouts (i.e. longest we were without power...45 minutes) in single digit weather. Last but not least the grocery stores ran out of milk and who knows what else! Matt was lucky enough to get the last four 1/2 gallon whole milks last night in a brave drive to the store! I don't question his driving skills...I do however, highly questioning the skills of the locals! So my children and I have experienced cabin fever this week! We were lucky enough to get out for a little bit (i.e. 15-20 minutes) the last two days and everyone but Jax seemed to really enjoy the time outdoors! And no, Averie is not wearing a helmet...it's her hat! Even though I do thoroughly believe all children should wear helmets for all play (must be the speech therapist in me), in any kind of weather, I always have my lovely hubby to calm all my fears so my children do not suffer humiliation!
