On Thursday night my mother in law arrived w/ our nephews and a friend of the family. On Friday Dean took 1/2 a day off of work to spend w/ all of us. We went to lunch as a family then came home and crashed for a long nap. News of a threatening winter storm came our way and we all joked about it thinking people were exaggerating. Dean and I were going to go out Friday night but instead went to the grocery store alone, sad how a trip to the store w/out your kid can be a treat. We got milk and food just in case the weatehr got bad, and apparenlty everyone had the same idea, the milk case at the store was almost empty! When we got back we made chocolate covered strawberries, mmmm! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention for our Valentines dinner we had salmon!! My favorite!
On Saturday we went to the mall for a bit after shoveling some snow, just a little, well a couple of inches. Then we went to lunch w/ the whole family again. Then napped again. Last night Dean and I went to TGIFridays for an appetizer, drinks, and vanilla bean cheesecake. Another favorite! then we came home and crashed. More rumors this time of huge proportions of snow coming our way. We awoke to 7 inches of snow a little before 9 am there is now at least a foot and a half and the snow is not expected to stop falling until sometime tomorrow. It’s been snowing non stop!
We took Caleb out to play a bit but it was way too cold and the snow was still really coming down. Now caleb is napping, grandmom is playing on the puter as am I and Dean is playing GameCube. I already cleaned house and did laundry so we really have nothing aroudn here to do. Hopefully we’ll get some games out and play while caleb naps. Our guests were scheduled to leave tomorrow but as the whole coast and even in Ohio where they would be going back to is covered in snow and/or ice. Its been nice spending time w/ family and getting to know a new friend to the family that came with them. Been very nice having extra hands around w/ Caleb esp as we are getting to be housebound its nice to get a break! well hopefully we wont be stuck here too long but I dont mind! We’ve plenty of treats and love to keep us all happy. Or so we hope!!
