Baking, Cooking, and Fun in the Snow…

Our family has one car.  Once or twice, sometimes three times a week, we will drive Greg to work so that we have the car for the rest of the day.  It’s not that we spend all day out and about, but just having it in case we want to get out and about is peace of mind.

On those days, our mornings begin rather earlier – as Greg needs to be at work by 730A.  Luckily for us, he works only 15-20 minutes away – depending on traffic.  But, to get two kids dressed, fed, Greg’s lunch made (on days he is not eating out), and getting out the door feels like a major ordeal – or accomplishment – depending on the day.

Well today was definitely an accomplishment!  And while I felt completely wiped out after arriving back home with the kiddos a little after 8 AM, I got up and took the kids to Barnes & Noble for story and play time at 1030A.  We arrived home and have accomplished alot today.
