Last week was an unexpected crazy. The schools were closed for administrative work days Monday and Tuesday, but due to the snow, they were rescheduled for Wednesday and Thursday...Two more days of "vacation." Okay, I can deal. Back to school Friday. Nope...We got a call Thursday evening that the roads and sidewalks were still not safe enough for the kids that had to walk, or for the buses. No school again Friday. I thought I might cry. Melting snow is not as much fun to play in, so most of the week was spent inside. Our normal weekly outings were also cancelled, and a lot of places were still closed earlier in the week. So there was nothing. To. Do. Except stay inside. And drive me bonkers! We all survived, though, and it is (finally!) back to school today.
Amidst all the chaos of last week, I didn't get to post my little dining room makeover for the 14 week challenge, so be on the lookout for that this week! (Maybe tomorrow) I'm really excited about it.
We also had to reschedule our birthday party that was planned, so it was this past Saturday. We had 16 (!) kids here total, including the little babies. It was a lot of fun. Everyone got to paint their own little masterpiece. K had a great time playing with all of his friends. I will be doing a full post on this soon!
