Snow Day

Yes that about sums it up! Actually it was not too bad. Belle I'm sorry, Bella, was able to go sledding for a while with her bff, the bff's siblings and brave bff's mom:) While Lexi stayed at home and did some cleaning and lesson planning. Ummm, yep, ya read that right...cleaning!!!! She actually washed and dried and put away dishes without prompting!!!! It was very nice to come upstairs and have that done.


And then she sat and did some lesson planning. (I know you were really waiting on that one! ) I do mean that she literally made lesson plans for her and Bella to have an abbreviated day of school with all subjects and extras too! It was pretty amazing too. They had to write an essay on a story they read (well 5 sentences) and then critique' each other's essays.....yes....my children are nerds just like their parents! It was very well prepared and quite scary frankly...she knows waaaaay too much for an almost 11 year old! The best part is they were so engrossed in their "play" that when I said we should go outside at 3 while it was light, they wanted to keep playing and said no!!!!

Then we had a wonderful hot supper to top off the chilly day out...another crock pot pork roast...yum...I think I am a convert. It is so easy to put everything in and then just push a button and walk away....and then come back 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours later to a wonderful main dish or meal...YUM!

Tomorrow I will hopefully get all of the errands done I need to do and then get everything tax wise done too. Not our taxes..did those today actually, not the most favorite of tasks but fortunately not the worst task either so....one word sums it up...done:) I meant helping out with an AARP tax scheduling line. I have volunteered to go in and return calls once a week. It's not a hard job just takes time.

And..I'm thinking of "crocking" again....hmmmm...what sounds good?!?!?!?
