Snow Day

February 15, 2007

Today was a snow day. Damien was sent home from work, actually he never needed to go in but didn't check his e-mail in time. No harm, he just walked back home.

We enjoyed a Valentine's day breakfast - heart shaped pancakes with strawberry sauce. No lunch date as planned just the whole day spent doing stuff we haven't seemed to have time to get done. For the better part of the day the kids and & cleaned the upstairs. In the afternoon they spent a couple hours outside playing on the snowmound our neighbor has created over the season with his snowblower. They came in all rosy cheeked and excited about the tunnels and dens they were creating. During that time I put up my soap shelf. This is a much better solution than boxes all over our bedroom. I attempted making my first lip balm this morning but it doesn't soak in as well as Burt's Bees. All natural, easy to make not to mention super cheap so I'll be doing more experimenting to perfect the recipe.
