All I can say is AWESOME. And that I feel so bad for those of you that are wearing shorts and T-shirts today and are probably going to sweat a little when you go outside. If you are looking to cool down a little, c'mon up to New York!!!
OK, all kidding aside. I honestly don't typically mind the cold. Sometimes I think it actually feels really good and refreshing. But -35F wind chill? Yeah. That's even too cold for me! I am pretty sure I am not leaving the house AT ALL today. I am so thankful I have a warm house to cozy up in with my babies. I pray that everyone who does not have a home will find shelter and warmth tonight.
So, on to other topics. I am feeling quite accomplished because it's 10:15am on February 15th and I have already taken down all my Valentine's day decor and put up my St. Patty's decorations! OK...so MAYBE my V day decor consisted of 2 wreaths which I replaced with 2 St. Patty's wreaths. And maybe it took me all of 5 minutes. BUT...it's still done!! :) If it ever warms up, maybe I will head to Michael's and pick up a few more things (shamrocks, etc) to make it a little more festive. Or maybe not. We'll see!!
In other news, I realized I have totally failed at my weekly recipe posting. BUT... I have made some really good stuff recently! Last weekend was homemade chicken & biscuits and chocolate chip M&M V day cookies.
It was also Alec's first time at the movie theatre. We took the boys to see the SpongeBob movie. It was a hit!
Friday night we celebrated Valentines day. The kids got heart shaped pancakes and the hubby got chicken parm.
These 2 will always be my Valentines! Love these boys more than life itself!!
Well friends, that's it for today! I think you are pretty much caught up on life around here lately. Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend and wishing you a fun and stress-free week!!!
I hear ya about the cole. I live in Ontario, Canada and we are hitting -35 as well. Huddled in the house, having our final valentines party today. Love that you took your kids to the movie, we have twin 4 year olds and a 6 year old and have been on the fence about taking them, not sure they will sit through the entire movie. Was the SpongeBob movie Good? Did they like it?
ReplyDeleteIt was cute. My older one loved it. My little one slept through a lot of it! I think a 4 & 6 years old are a great age to take them!
Deletewe are in one of the worst blizzards of the year... the cold is way to much for me.
ReplyDeleteMy kids ARE totally jealous of your weather. We have a bit of snow but they were really banking on a snow day and it didn't happen! Coming to you from #manicmondays number 14 on the linky list.
ReplyDeleteI can't even fathom it being that cold. I live outside of Los Angeles and it has been strangely hot, as in 85 degrees. Those biscuits and cookies look really good.
ReplyDelete85??? Oh how I would love some 85 degree weather right now!!
DeleteI loved your post. I am from New York and remember those winters well. Peaceful, beautiful, cold and cozy. Now I am in the south and yes, tonight it is getting icy and no one, and I mean NO ONE know show to drive in this if you haven't been raised in it, so we stay home and enjoy "snow days." They truly are good days to stay in pajamas and just "veg." Check out my blog for some warm soup recipes!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! I did check out your blog and saw lots of delicious soup recipes!!
DeleteOmgsh that is way too cold for me! I live in the south to avoid temps! Thanks so much for linking up for Best of the Blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize with you about the cold, it's freezing here in MA plus we have over 6 feet of snow, I'm ready for spring! Thanks for sharing at What'd a You Do This Weekend? I hope you will join us again this Monday morning :)
ReplyDeleteThose pancakes are so cute! I grew up in Chicago, my parents still live there so yeah totally get those frigid temps. Now that I have lived in SoCal for a while, yeah I don't think I could ever ever go back.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh... gonna catch up on your blog posts today. All the food looks so yummy! Cookies, pancakes and that chicken and biscuits looks soooo good!!! Pretty flowers and candy! :) And The Butcher Block = cool. I get to see pics of it! :)
