It's the Christmas Vacation that doesn't end!

And yes it goes on and on my friends! I was supposed to go back last Thursday, but we got a snowstorm which caused us to be off Thursday and Friday. Mr. C and Cinderella was still enjoying their Christmas break so it was so much fun to be off with them!


Well, then, another storm was predicted and it was chaos in every grocery store in the Tri-State area. The weather takes a curve and we get pounded with rain and light snow in the evening. The Polar Vortex came down and we got into the negative singles with wind chill factors that were negative 30 and colder. Honestly, I have never remembered it being this cold in Ohio! Brrrr! So everyone was off Monday and today. The temps are finally rising and it looks like we all will go back tomorrow.


It has been nice to have this extra time off with the kids. They have done really well with the extra days although Mr. C cried when he heard school was closed and Cinderella pouted. They LOVE school and hate missing!


We woke up this morning to see the frost and ice had trickled its way into our house on the door hinges and frames. Cinderella was amazed at this! We also have our rabbit indoors until the cold spell is over. Sprinkles is loving his warm temporary home.


Cinderella and I have made lots of loom band bracelets, played games, and completed lots of word searches. It has been a blessing to have so much family time together!
