Atta Boy

I’m so proud of this kid! He was nominated by his freshman capstone professor. 



What a blessing this school has been for Keagan! He has found the perfect fit.

Sn❄️w Fun Take 2

Today’s snow day looked a little different. Evan had lectures to watch for his winter term; Keagan’s school day was virtual; my online spring math class began today. There was no fun in the snow, but we slept in, ate chicken tostadas, and had cinnamon rolls for dessert. I’m killing it in the kitchen, and my slow cookers are working overtime keeping us all fed. In between kitchen stops, we hunkered down and did this:



Tomorrow it is take 3 (I can’t believe we aren’t going back to school tomorrow) before round two begins on Thursday. Much like today, the boys and I will be doing homework and joining Zoom meetings. The anticipation of getting to sleep past 0430 is the absolute best feeling!

Sn❄️w Fun!

The prediction for this weekend’s snow total have been all over the place: 10, 6, 3, and last night it was 2. This morning we have 3.5 inches and it is still falling. 



After banana pancakes for breakfast, the boys took to it playing World Cup PK shootout. They have the whistles and the crowd cheers down like they are in a stadium. It’s 9 degrees! Why is Germany not wearing underwear?  



I’m not going anywhere in this mess. The gym is closed. We have food to last us until the weekend. I have steak bites in the slow cooker; homemade chimichurri sauce resting in the fridge; cookies in the oven. I’m hanging out with my friend Expedia and  planning vacations this afternoon and I’ll be wrapped in blankets reading a book tonight. There’s nothing better! 



I’m hoping we get another day tomorrow to do it all over again!
