Today was a "snow day" for the kids, and they had no school--although it wasn't because of an over-abundance of snow! School was cancelled at almost all schools throughout Western Wisconsin and Minnesota due to the freezing temperatures and windchills of -35 to -45 below zero! Now, that is COLD!!! I was glad to have today as one of my regularly scheduled days off so I could spend the day at home, too. I just wish Jamie didn't have to drive to Eau Claire for work today...
Yesterday was a yucky day for weather, too. The kids went to school two hours late (they were disgusted that it wasn't cancelled altogether!), and all of the after-school activities in the area were cancelled due to the snow, freezing temps, blowing snow, and dangerous wind chill. So, Austin's game was cancelled last night, along with Parent's Night. We aren't sure if and when they will be rescheduling that yet.
Church was cancelled tonight, but the Youth Pastor was going to be at the Soul Garage if any kids wanted to go there anyway, just to hang out, so Austin and some of his friends headed off to Rice Lake to church. I think they are also planning a Wal-Mart run, so I sent him with some money for dog food! :-)
Andrew usually attends Wednesday night church at the Baptist church here in town with his friend, Zack, but that was cancelled tonight due to the weather, so he is here at home with me and the dogs. Abby is playing babies at her friend, Bailey's, house. She went over after piano lessons tonight.
We are just waiting for Jamie to get home--I have a steaming pot of chili on the stove. What else do you eat on a night like tonight!?!?!

Stay Warm!
