Another round of icy weather is expected to hit us around noon today. Hubby closed the restaurant, thank goodness, and he is home for the day. We walked to the store up the road with Em and Jake to get the essentials (beer and cigarettes - we have milk) and the kids came home and slid down the hill in the back yard. Lots of fun to be had on ice too. For now we still have power and I'm looking forward to a fairly lazy day spent at home with the entire family. These unexpected days seldom happen for us so they are lots of fun.
The dogs aren't sure what to make of the ice on the ground. Corri seems to like the sounds she makes when she goes tearing through the back yard...kind of like a woman in heels. She's pretty funny. The other, more spoiled puppies, think they shouldn't have to go outside at all, so they will spend the majority of the day sleeping in the crate.
If we manage to get through the day with power I'll be back later, I guess, depending on how bored we get.
