Snow Day...

We pulled out all the stops last night in hopes for a snow day!!!! Inside out pajamas, cold spoons under the pillows, and ice cubes in the toilet!!! and...SUCCESS!!! One happy boy this morning as the 2 hour delay changed to "CLOSED"...We missed the bulk of the snow, which fell just south of us...We won't miss the cold. Temps tonight falling to -8, with wind chills of -35...This Mama WILL have longjohns under my scrubs in the AM!!! But, for today..we stayed warm and cozy..made these soft pretzels...they were VERY good! Played some games..Including building circuit boards that lit up to IPOD tunes!! Watching "Men in Black 3"  snuggling under blankets on the couch...and Jack made dinner tonight!!!! Chili...PERFECT for these CHILLY days:) ....Oh January....You are really MAKING me wish for SPRING:)

You (and Jack) always make such yummy looking (and tasting, I'm sure) food. Your bird houses look so beautiful. Sounds like a perfect day to me. :)

PS-I've never heard of doing all those things to get a snow day. I'll pass this info on to my niece!

XO,

Holly

It always look so cozy in your home. I too am wishing for Spring to come soon. Can you send me the pretzel link? I clicked on it and it didn't take there. I think I want to try these yummy looking pretzels... were they hard to make?

I am SORRY my link didn't work Amy!! I stink at linking!!! Go to Food Network, and they are "Alton Brown's" soft pretzel recipe:) They were REALLY good..Kind of a pain to make! Do you have a kitchen aid with a dough hook?? That made all the difference..I don't think I could have made the dough without it...Other than that, just time consuming:) But, what else to do when the wind chill is -35..YES..MINUS 35! We are like the frozen tundra up here:) Thanks for visiting me Amy:) XXOOO
