We are snowed (iced) in!

The past 24 hours have been FREEZING!!!  Luckily, school & work were cancelled and we get to be at home for a lovely 3 day weekend!  Here are some pictures from our fun in the ice!

Just one of the few pinterest projects we decided to tackle this weekend.

Snow Day 4 & Still at home...

Today is officially my 7th day to be stuck at home! I am not sick anymore-- it's that weather that has me trapped! The weather has been nonstop & today was a beautiful snowfall, instead of a pelting sleet and rain mess! Here is what we woke up to this morning...

Taylor had to go to work today... his tire marks and footprints are all you can see in the driveway. It has snowed about 5" since midnight and underneath the beautiful is a sheet of ice from the past 3 days. Needless to say we are ready for some above freezing temperatures to get rid of some of this mess! Cabin fever has set in and we started a project to cure it.

Here is what we have been up to this week...

That's right!! We are re-doing our guest bathroom! I gathered some decorations to get started, made a trip to Hobby Lobby, then a trip to Home Depot for the paint. So, here is a sneak peek at the first true DIY project that we have taken on. Our house is about 7 months old and this is the first room we have painted, so far--so good!

Sick Day 2 & A Snow Day...

Today was a major winter storm! We woke up to the sounds of pelting sleet, along with thunder and bright flashes of lightning. Although, I had already planned on missing work-- I was anxiously watching the news reports starting at 3am for any sign of a school closure! Thank goodness school was closed today -- because I left no plans for a substitute. That also meant I got a "free" sick day!! Here is a video Taylor took of the sleet around 4:30 this morning... The only thing you can hear is the wind, unfortunately there was not a thunder boom!!

After the sleet came the snow, which is now SOLID ICE! Here are a few pictures!
