Weekly Wrap-Up: Days 106-109 - Thunder, Lightning and Snow?

Thunder and lightning! In the middle of a snowstorm! Over the weekend we had ANOTHER snowstorm which briefly switched over the freezing rain around midnight that produced QUITE a number of rumbles and flashes. What weather we're having in Maine! 

Kids and I Made Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Monday afternoon I dropped C off with our neighbor friends for a sleepover. They have girls for C to "hang out" with. (It seems that most of our friends have BOYS, BOYS, BOYS.)  She had a blast painting pictures and doing beadwork! J spent some time shoveling out the walkway after a SNOWQUAKE and then he and S made cheesy nachos with salsa for lunch and chocolate cake for dessert after dinner. 

A School Distraction LOL

Ah, SNOWQUAKE? Well, we have a metal roof. Snow and ice build up on our roof until the temperatures get warm enough for the sheets to slide off in a noisy, shaky C-R-A-S-H. It can be QUITE startling if you haven't experienced it before. Oftentimes there are HEAVY, LARGE "icebergs" to clear off the walkway and road afterward.

No school on Tuesday. A and I headed into the city - A had some additional work training and I spent the day  at the hospital with my sister who is recovering from surgery. The kids spent the day with friends, reading, doing crafts, building snowman. And in the evening, C had basketball practice and J had Boy Scouts.

We were back to "every day" school on Wednesday and Thursday. The kids had 4H and built snow shelters. (Our 4H is doing Outdoor Education and Recreation this year.) C had a basketball game. FINALLY. It's been WEEKS since we  haven't gotten snow on Wednesday! J studied Celtic Knots at Not Math Math Class and the kid's friends came over Thursday afternoon.

Field trip Friday! It's been a while since we've gone on a field trip, so we headed into the city to meet up with family to spend some time exploring the art museum.
