Ahhhhh!

Wow....what a week. The week of work was pretty crazy as the kids were very excited for their upcoming break causing them to be a little out of control! Thursday we had pj day and went to the local movie theater to watch the Polar Express. It was a fun day! We were warned of a possible ice storm hitting us that evening and told that school may be cancelled on Friday. Of course with our long break only one day away, all the teachers would've much rather have been at work on Friday for the easy, fun early dismissal day rather than make it up the spring and have to go back in June instead of getting out in May! UGH....the weather won though, and the ice that hit caused power outages and no school! My "snow day" home was worthless. The power was out for us....and didn't return until today at 4pm....so we had a very dark, cold past 31 hours of no electricity! Thankfully, my friends let me come shower, bathe Brynne, and do a load of laundry. While the power was out, we decided we'd just leave town earlier than planned for the holidays since it started to get so cold, and then of course as we were packing the last items, the power returned. We're home tonight trying to "fix" the mess that we made in the house, as well as fix our packing that we did in the dark, do some laundry, and leave on a good note in the morning!!!!
Ahhhh! And Pray! The wind is causing the icy tree limbs surrounding our house to fall...and i'm scared they are going to cause lots of damage to our house or car!
Here are the latest pictures....

PJ Day...my second grade team. I LOVE THEM and couldn't survive this year without them!
