Starbucks in a Blizzard

Last Monday, we woke up to a Winter wonderland.  

Obviously there was no school.  

I guess I couldn't open the back door.  

Eli made us pancakes.  

We realized that the 3d printer shoots out pieces when it changes colors.  Turns out, this is called filament poop!  I eventually 3d printed a basket to catch them!

Somehow, Ariel got her friend's mom to pick her up and take them to Starbucks.  No blizzard can stop Starbucks!  

Lol.  Ariel and her friends made the news!

For some reason, the rest of us felt stuck in the house.  

I did open the door to get a shot.  

Eli went out for a little.  

Snowball fight!

The numbers started coming in.  We got over 20 inches!

Eli printed a Welcome to Hawkins sign.  

Eli is a cooking monster all the sudden.  He made his French toast.  

Then he helped massage Ariel!

 

Blizzard of 2026

Last Sunday, it was the calm before the storm.  I dropped the twins at Hebrew school, then went to the gym to do body pump again.  

When I got home the snow started.  

Ariel talked to her college counselor.  Yes, college counselor.  

I covered the cars.  

The snow got heavy fast.  

I made a chicken with apricots in the crock pot.  It cooked all day.  

The snow from the last storm had finally melted, then it was all back!

Eli was busy making Stranger Things prints.  

Of course Ariel had to sleep at Cece's house.  

The roads weren't too bad yet.  

THON ended!  They raised $18.8 million!

Aden made a pie.  

It was a full on blizzard!

They came in the middle of the night to plow the first time.  

 

Back to Puppy Yoga

Last Saturday, we called an appliance guy.  The fridge had been making strange noises all night.  Luckily, he was able to fix it but he wasn't sure how long the fix will last.  

Ariel woke up at Cece's house.  She hung out with the bearded dragon.  

Then they back to puppy yoga in Philly.  She was here last week for a party for her friend's sister.  This was her friend's party.  Different dogs.  

But still cute. 

I took Eli shopping to stock up before the big snowstorm that was coming.  

It wasn't took crowded and we got everything we needed.  

Calling for 12"-18"!

THON was still going on.  

We went to Melissa's house for dinner.  

We ate Harvest then watched the Olympics.

 

Dance Marathon

It's Thursday night!  Another week has gone by.  Again surrounded by snow.  Last Wednesday, Fionna came over and Ariel tried on her cheer outfit.  

Ariel wanted to wish you a belated Valentines Day.  

Last Tuesday, I 3D printed Amy a holder for her sponge!

Eli keeps finding cool stuff to print.  

A cassette tape of Running Up That Hill from Stranger Things.  

Last Friday, the drop off line was nuts.  That's what happens when it rains.  

That night, I went to see Jordan play at the Green Parrot.  

And watch the Olympics.  

That night was also the start of Dance Marathon at Penn State. FOr those of you who don't know, it's an honor to be asked to do this.  The kids stay on their feet for 46 hours.  They raise money for the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.  Lanie's choir sang for the kids.  That's her second from right.  

Our sitter Dani was dancing.  

As was Kylie.  This was only the beginning.  They had 2 days to go!  Have a great weekend!
