Third snow day in a row for my boys tomorrow. Last night they slept on the king size air mattress in our room because we thought we were about to lose our electricity. The propane heater was in our room all ready to go if we lost our heat. We never did, but they sure loved their "sleepover" in mom and dad's room. They begged for another night on the air mattress and since school had already been canceled for tomorrow I thought it would be fun. Maybe a new snow storm tradition...sleepovers in our room.

I thought it was a bit premature to cancel school for tomorrow already. However, that was only because I hadn't been outside since early this morning. I went to fill the wood burner tonight and quickly fell hard down the stairs, hitting my head and landing hard on my back. It was next to impossible to walk to the wood burner, but I somehow managed without another fall. I have never seen anything like this, my yard is an ice rink.

The boys talked me into making "Death Star Popcorn Balls" today from their Star Wars cookbook. Not fun at all. I told them to savor each bite because I will never be making them again. These kids can talk me into anything on a snow day.

Finally, my house smells like poop. The weather, high winds and ice, has not been kind to my septic system. Eric is researching on the internet. I have no interest in research when my house smells like poop. I'm calling a plumber.

That's the snow storm update from our little house in the woods. I'm going to go join the sleepover in my bedroom now.
