Cabin fever has officially set in. This was either the 9th or 10th snow day for my kids.  I’ve lost count.  And…they’ve canceled school for the remainder of the week.  Chad has been off of work since last week and who knows when they’ll get his compound plowed.  I’ve also lost count of how many hours my kids and husband have spent playing video games.  I hate video games, but right now I can’t think of any great alternatives.  We’ve played board games.  We’ve huddled around the fire and had a family room sleep-over (we had no power and there wasn’t really any other option).

The snow can stop now.  I think we’ve had enough.

I need a picture of the outside of our house to send in with our dossier.  I guess this one will have to do.
