New Years Eve

‘No?!’
‘Snow?’
‘Jes!’

We awoke to a winter wonderland developing outside our apartment! It’s two o’clock in the afternoon and it hasn’t let up yet! Zack was really hoping for a good snow during his vacation, so of course we had to take advantage of it despite all of the ladies in the house having a cold. We just arrived back from a walk into town to rent some movies. Strawberry Shortcake Princess something-or-another for Miss. P, and a HBO Western for Zack and I. Slim pickin’s, I guess everyone else had the same idea.

This morning was our first “school day.” Penelope did worksheets, half an hour of Spanish, exercise until that turned into dancing – a.k.a. fun exercise, one episode of Planet Earth – with snack time, counting using fingers and monkeys in a barrel, and a Bible Lesson on Noah.

So, with some of my birthday money I was going to get my wedding rings resized. I haven’t been able to wear them since I became pregnant with Miss P., and now that I won’t be having anymore kids it seemed like the perfect time. A light bulb went off for me today, I decided to run my finger under F R E E Z I N G cold water and use soap to slip the shiny bugger over my large knuckle. It worked! Saved me fifty bucks! I will probably lose circulation in the hot Missour-ah summer heat, but until then I am so glad to have my rings back on!

I know that January, February, and most of March I will be stuck indoors. I haven’t even had time to become still this winter, which means cabin fever hasn’t settled in and I am already thinking about what furniture I can move where, what can I organize better?, etc. Lord help Zack in the next few months, and thank you for a patient go-with-the-flow husband to walk through life with! Oh, and please be with Penelope’s future husband, as I know she will be the same way…poor fellas.
Happy New Year everyone!!

  1. Your fingers out grew your rings?! I remember you never wearing them because they were too big! What kind of worksheets do you use? I'm wanting to start with Ayden while Dakota is at school. He'd love being able to say he was in school too!
