Colorado had a woosy winter. For evidence, all you need to do is look back through my archives and see the numerous hikes and outdoor adventures we have enjoyed during our balmy temperatures.
Mother Nature finally woke up on Thursday and delighted us with a blizzard and schools were closed for two days. On Day 1, we hunkered down and invited our neighbors over for a Snow Party.
Photo #1: Never-before-seen-picture of our unfinished soda fountain and bar. Why is it unfinished? Because Granite Kitchen Solutions/Jason’s Granite walked with our money before delivering. Small claims court may be in his future (anyone had any experience with this?) Regardless, here is a shot of our almost-finished bar, complete with very cool gooseneck spouts.
We broke in our retro popcorn popper Jamie’s family bought us for Christmas and tested out all of the Kernel Seasoning’s Popcorn Toppings I received a couple of months ago (yum!) As an FYI, Bode is not plugging his ears because of the popping but because of “Sissy’s” singing.
She gets it from me.
We invited our neighbors Meredith, Andy and Maddie over to watch Incredibles on our new 84-inch television, Jamie’s pride and joy. We were shocked/bewildered/disturbed when Andy brought over his Snugglie. I didn’t know if I should ridicule him or snuggle him.
I chose the former. (Sidenote: his dear wife Meredith is in the foreground, refusing to show her face with the Snuggie. Who can blame her? Hadley, on the other hand, cannot resist.)
On Day 2, we took to the great outdoors. My poor children. Little do they know that some kiddos spend their Spring Break like this:
But their Canadian mama makes them have vacations like this:
Sand castles, snow caves. It’s all relative.
The best news of all? We are now officially on Spring Break this week. Expect a whole lot of craziness from this Crazy Clan…..
So, let’s hear it from you! How did you/are you spending your Spring Break?
