Back to School

Last Tuesday, Ariel was excited to debut her bedazzled water bottle.  They had a two hour delay.  The streets were a mess.  

Every morning she asks why I make her come to this place!  

I walked the boys up to school through all the snow.  

It was kind of pretty.

That night, Ariel had lacrosse.  This place is so crazy.  

It was a good practice.  

Great job girls!

Last Wednesday, they should have had another two hour delay because the there was some snow overnight and the roads were bad again.  The district realized they made a mistake and excused all lateness.  Aden went in on time but Ariel went back to bed for a bit!

Ben and Kameron are merit scholars!

I'm sad.  I really want to use the grill and the smoker.  When will the snow go away?  It's a week later as I type this and the deck is still covered in snow!

Aden made cutlets.  

This tv was going to the basement when the new one came.  

 

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.
