Snowy Days

This winter we've had a lot of snow-more than I remember getting in the last few years. Delays and snow days just keep coming.  GGirl and MMan have thoroughly enjoyed playing in the cold white stuff.   HandyMan has also spent a fair bit of time joining in the fun

Some Decisions Are Easy

Go out and walk, or yoga in front of the roaring fire.  It's a no-brainer on a morning like this!  February: the longest shortest month of the year.

Snowy Play!

Our family time doesn't fall in normal intervals like evenings and weekends.  Occasionally, HandyMan is home to get GGirl off the bus and play in the afternoon.  On this particular afternoon, they all bundled up and headed out to play in the snow.  There was running, there was chasing and there was tossing of clumps of snow.  It was packed down so to say they "made snowballs" may be a stretch.  But it was clearly two against 1.  I only stepped out as far as I had to to take a few pictures. :)

Boats & Busses

GGirl usually doesn't take the bus to school, we drop her off.  On Thursday, school was delayed, so she rode the bus in.  MMan wanted nothing more than to play in the 'no.  So for a half hour before the bus came, they played boats in the snow, I held my tea mug for warmth.

End of the January Thaw

This morning we woke up to snow.  The January thaw and taking walks in sweatshirts weather is officially over.  

I was supposed to drive to a town 45 minutes away to man hours at Made In Chenango, a craft co-op where I sell my candles.  The policy is that if that town's school district is closed for weather, we don't have to try to make it in to open the store.  Every district that I would have to drive through between my house and the store was closed.  I called in anyway and they were gracious enough to let me off the hook. 

So I worked from home.  I have two companies that I do administrative work for and today I had planned on getting caught up on a bunch of projects that had been piling up over the last few days.  So, armed with cocoa and cookies, I retreated to my "corner office" and got work done.  And since I was at home, I got to take in some of the winter sights around our yard as GGirl and HandyMan ventured out for projects outside this morning:
