We just received word that there is no school again tomorrow, our sixth "snow day" not counting the day off we had in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. last Monday. So, out of the last ten days of school, we've been home for seven of them. I have lots of pictures and memories to record from the record setting Polar Vortex that's settled over a good part of our country the past week, but I'll save that for another post. Today, while the kids built one massive Lego house that arrived for Mila's birthday in perfect time, I went through phone photos. I haven't Marie Kondo'ed as much as I would have liked to during all these days off, but my phone is sure sparking me some joy!

One of the worst days and the sweet package on my porch from Jess when we got home from dance and piano. We had everything we needed for taco night and I felt so loved on and taken care of.
The start of the snow days! We made sno-cream for the first time and it was delicious!
Sometimes they talk us into letting them sleep in here.

Lots of snow day fun! Much more to come from this epic January at home.
