~ More Beautiful Snowdrifts and Thursday's List ~

When I woke up yesterday, it was 9* outside. Sounds pretty chilly, but it was actually warmer than the day before!  This morning it's 16* ~ woo hoo!  We didn't do a whole lot yesterday. Really didn't get as much school done as I would have liked either.  Emma was able to get a lot accomplished in school.  I've asked her to stay down on the main floor to help her stay focused better.  It seemed to work yesterday.  She completed her 1st quarter exam study guide for science, 50 minutes of grammar and 50 minutes of math.  Much more than a typical day for her. Sam started his math, but didn't get it finished.  Sarah completed her phonics and spelling. Jonathon completed his math.  His time is improving a little on the subtraction speed drill.  I really need to buckle down in school today and not be so easily distracted!

I headed outside yesterday to start the van so I could go to the bank, as soon as I turned towards the van I saw a very large and beautiful snowdrift that was going to keep me home.  It prompted me to take pictures of some of the other beautiful snowdrifts!

Beautiful!!

~ Holy Snowdrifts, Batman! ~

We have been having an amazing winter!  Not necessarily a good amazing winter, but an amazingly crazy winter!  Snow, ice and extremely cold temperatures.  Definitely not the type of weather that you could go play in.  There is so much snow outside that it would be wonderful to go out and play in it!  A child could build caves, tunnels, snowmen... they could even sled down the drifts ~ if only it wasn't so cold outside.  It's currently only 8* outside!  Brrr....

Check out these snow drifts!

See what I mean?
