Baby it's cold Outside!!

It's Cold here in my neck of the woods. The temperature was in the single digits today. I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more, I am NOT a fan of Winter. With temperatures that cold I've stayed in all day long with the exception of walking the dog!

Anika went to Yoga Class this morning and got her nails done. While she was out she went to the store for me. I was sure thankful for that.

My day has been pretty uneventful. I spent the better part of my morning cleaning out the kids clothes. They had too much stuff and a lot of it didn't even fit anymore. I'd love to be a minimalist but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Other than that my day has been filled with just a little of this and that. I did manage to get out of bed earlier today (even though I sure didn't go to bed earlier) and got a shower before the kids got up. I even got in some scripture journaling without interruption. 

I started coloring a picture in my "grown up" coloring book, finished my book that I was reading and worked on capsule wardrobe ideas. I read the book "For Women Only" and highly recommend it. It's about how men think and do & was an excellent read. I tested out her theories by asking my husband all sorts of questions and for the most part she was right. I saw a few differences but she was pretty accurate.

The kids have had a pretty lax day today. We didn't do anything in the way of formal schooling really. I guess I just needed the day to recoup from our trip yesterday. They watched cartoons, we built a fort and they did a little ice play. They had lots of fun with the ice play. I prepared it last night by freezing what we called "jewels" into ice cubes. They had to excavate them this morning. They had a blast and was a barrel of fun to watch!

We also read a new book called "The Night Before the Snow Day" and worked in our journals!

Tonight I made a new recipe for dinner! It turned out great and it was the first time I'd ever made a homemade gravy. I know that's pitiful, don't judge!

Our evening is winding down. From looking at my living room I need to do a quick pick up of the house. I also need to wash the sink full of dinner dishes. I'll probably end my night with some planning and such. Not too much going on around here today.

Until Tomorrow
