Hello Jack Frost! This past week has been full of cold, cold and more cold! The girls had only 2 days of school last week and this weekend was honestly a much needed lock our selves in the house and stay warm by the fire.
Bird left for their South Dakota Wrestling tourney at 9am on Thursday and by 9pm they were back home. They made it 4.5 hours away when the tournament director cancelled due to a huge snow storm coming in. Honestly I was just glad to have her back at home safe and sound. She was bummed. She really wanted redemption this year.
Friday we all were home to start our 4 day snuggle fest. We made homemade broccoli and cheese soup and had a fire going all day long, thanks to Kenley who braved the frigid cold to go grab wood twice.
Saturday we got all caught up on laundry. Bird had wrestling practice in the am and then had to run the concession stand for basketball that afternoon. We made Orange Chicken and Sticky Rice for dinner. It’s so nice to be able to just binge on Netflix shows and try different recipes because we have….Time! Kenley also made me a really special gift out of Papas old bathroom curtains. They didn’t fit the bathroom window at the cabin, but I knew I didn’t want to get rid of them. So glad I didn’t. With her new sewing machine she got from her Nana for Christmas, she made us a plastic bag holder for the cabin. I love it for so many reasons! Her heart is just so so big!!
Sunday was another day of lounging around. The girls don’t like the lounging as much as the Husband and I do. So I purchased 2 hours of jump time at Skyzone for Bird and Ry. Bird is such a good Big Sis when she isn’t tormenting her. Lol! They were def living their best life together this afternoon. Kenley and I started a puzzle. Kenley is a puzzle wiz! By the time it was finished the whole fam had helped a little. Chicken and Dumplings were had for dinner with homemade Milkshakes for dessert.
Monday morning started off with the best little cup of tea. I mean who doesn’t want to start their day with a cute little Manatee!!! Breakfast was breakfast burritos followed by prepping for another day of being home bound. Kenley gathered more wood while the hubs deep cleaned the kitchen.
It’s snowing again…. Blah!!! Bird had to head to wrestling practice in it. Pot Roast aroma will soon fill the house. I am preparing myself for this. It’s Deer roast!! Kenley is excited as it was her harvest. Oh man I guess I have to at least try it! For now we are gonna pop some popcorn and enjoy another lazy day!
Good news! The roast was actually not bad! I could not tell it was deer at all. Now we are all cleaned up and ready for guess what…..YEP ANOTHER SNOW DAY!!! Cheers 2024!!
